If anyone is interested in taking the second round of WOMBATs, it's available on JK's website.  You have to click on the eraser on the home page to get to the right page, and of course, there are things you'll have to do before you can sit the exam.  Good luck! :)

Ok thanks ;D

Ok what do you do with the stuff on the desk? Ok found if on HPANA.

Well I've done It I don't think I have done very well though, I don't think I will get as good a mark this time.

I have had a go and I just hope I pass  :o=.  A lot of the answers were pure guess work though  ::)

Ok, I feel like an idiot--I don't know how to get to the test so I can take it! If someone could either post how to do it or PM me, I would really appreciate it! I'd like to have a go at it!

Instrustions are here you have to highlight it to read it.

Got it! Thanks!  ;)  :)

How people actually work it out is a mystery to me ;D

How do we get the results?

There will be a notice on the website that exam results are in.  You'll be prompted to enter your student ID code to get the results.

Ah thats it, there's something lands on the desk is that it?

Might be.  I can't remember how it went last time. ::)

Seriously! I wonder how long it takes them to figure out the sequence.  :-\

The office door has the "do not disturb" sign again, so the test is now closed.

Since the exam is over would anyone have any objections if we started dissecting the questions (and hopefully the answers)  ;D.  It is just this one seemed a lot more like guess work and opinion and I just wondered what everyone else put ie did anyone else think there were no male Veela  :-\

Oh and if you click on the old WOMBAT card (top leftish) and enter your code it says the paper is being marked.

Well mines in the post  :o=

Mine is too so we should be getting them soon!

I know there is another thread for this but what was your last grade?

Mine was "Acceptable"

I do beleive mine was outstanding ;D Although I doubt it will be this time   :-\

I didn't think there were any Male Veela either.  :-\  I was hung up, for some reason, on the question about Muggle borns.  Any guesses. 

My results are in the post, by the way.  I'm actually nervous!  :D

The results have been delivered!

I checked mine and I got "Exceeds Expectations" ;D

I also received "exceeds expectations." :)

I got Outstanding again! :o

Exceeds Expectations!  :D 

Ive left my student number at uni, so ill have to wait till monday to have a look...

I'm like Mike, I started off as Acceptable but got Exceeds Expectations this time  ;D ;D


Was that the one that asked if Muggles could do magic, given a wand etc?  If it was I said no they couldn't.  What did you think was the most worrying thing showing up at St Mungo's?  I said werewolf bites.  Also what did you want with you in case of emergencies?  I had a broom, invisibility cloak and time turner but I was a bit iffy about the time turner  :-\

I said muggles couldn't do spells even with wands, because after all they are muggles. I said werewolf bites I think. I said a cauldron and potions equipment and stuff.

Mmmmm I was tempted by the potions equipment but then I would have needed the cauldron and I really wanted the broom and cloak.   :rofl: :rofl: If my work colleagues read this they would think I had totally cracked  :rofl:

I never took the first one.  :'(  I missed it by, like, a day. 


I think I said that Muggles could do "simple magic" if given a wand and spellbook.  I also said Werewolf bites on the St. Mungo's question.  I think on the "in case of emergencies" question, I said broom; invisibility cloak; darkness powder; and something else...I don't think I said Time Turner because they were all destroyed at the end of book five and I didn't say potion equipment because I thought that if I was in danger, I wouldn't have time to brew something up...I'd need something that could work fast.  I guess I thought the question meant immediate danger.   :-\

The Muggle question I was hung up on had an answer that said Muggle borns have a wizard somewhere in their ancestry, which I don't think was right, but I can't remember the question or the other answers.   :-\

Yes I was tempted that they had wizard ancestry but I don't think that is the line Jk takes.

I know the one you mean now.  Well I said that all Muggle born Wizards did have a bit of magic in their ancestry simply because JKR has said that all Wizards have a bit of Muggle in their backgrounds ie no true pure bloods exist any more.  Oh I wish they would publish an answers list  :o=

I got exceeds expectations...not suprising given i guessed every answer, and rushed through the test....

OK I definitely got the Muggle question wrong.  In Chamber of Secrets JKR describes a Muggle as 'not a drop of magical blood in their veins'.

This one is really bugging me.  Does anyone know what started the Goblin riots of 1612?  Knowing my luck this would be my final question on Who Wants to be a Millionaire so I really need to know  ;)

Can anyone remeber the options?

I think one of the options was wizards not allowing goblins to carry wands.  It would be nice if the exam and correct answers were posted on her site.

Yeah, I don't think thats the one I went for.

Here we go:

Which (still unresolved) issue do most historians believe triggered the infamous goblin rebellion of 1612?
a) Lack of goblin representation on the wizengamot
b) Wizard attempts to enslave goblin and use them as houseelves
c) Wizard refusal to grant goblins the right to carry a wand
d) Attempts by wizards to regain control of Gringotts bank
e) Series of brutal goblin slayings by wizard murderer Yardley Platt


I think I put (a). 

The Muggle question is really bothering me as well, and I obviously missed it too.  There was another Muggle born question (or maybe it was the same one) that had an answer like: Muggle born wizards do not fall ill to wizard illnesses (something like that).

Hooray I found all the questions on Mugglenet ;D

Pity I still don't know the answers  ::)

I think I went for E with the Goblin question  :-\

I think I said A

Has anyone seen the final WOMBAT exam on the site?  I have been keeping my eye out but don't know if I have just missed it  :(

I've been looking for it, too, but haven't seen it.

Oh good I was panicing the last exam was out when I saw the posts. I'm worried as I got really good marks for the other two and don't want to mess it up on the last one ::)

Perhaps JK has been a tad busy with things other than her website. ;)

The results of the third WOMBAT test have been delivered and mine was better than I hoped it would be ... I managed an Exceeds Expectations this time around and I was recommended to apply to The Ministry of Magic for a job - I'm dead chuffed!! *preens* ;) ;D ;D ;D

I managed an Acceptable which I am more than happy with  ;D.  Oh and Jackie, don't be jealous, but they recommended that I should apply for a job at Weasley Wizard Wheezes  :rofl:

I can't believe it I only got Acceptable this time :(

You snob  :rofl:.  I was expecting a 'T' - that was one hard test.  Still we can now both apply for the same jobs  ;D

Well I got Outstanding on my other two.
