    In 1988 we had clip boards and I swear we passed the thing to the person next to us to check are answers

    ....did I dream that part? I know things have changed since then. Any information?

    I remember distributing those clipboards before the Written Review.

    Sometimes I would look around the kh during the WR and it reminded me of being in 3rd grade.

    Come to think of it, 3rd grade is on par with the WR.

    I cheated by looking up the answers from the Bible, which was allowed (no Washtowels were permitted, though). That, plus that I did zero preparation in advance--and I still did reasonably well.

    It was always check your own answers, I think that most would be pretty embarrassed to

    have someone else check it.

    We always checked our own.....but they did can the grade system of Good 1-20 fair 1-15 Poor 1-10 as they felt this was too much pressure and being judgemental.

    I don't remember the written review past the 50s. When did it end? Wasn't it part of the "Theocratic Ministry School"? I was the servant untill 1973 and don't remember it then. Is my mind going blank?
