Level 10 Academy Classes

SEVEN days left!!!

DEFINITELY! I have like 38 days left to graduate cooking and like 11 with the grooming. I physically cannot do level 10 on my computer because it runs slower most of the time, so I just have my boyfriend do it on his new computer. I mean on mine I'll fail it and run out of time, he can do the class on his computer and have like 70 seconds left, which tells you just how big a difference computer speed can make for this course.

This happened every time the cart was supposed to come back! (unless it's because WW is slow right now, and not my computer!!!)

On agility today, I passed one level 10 agility and flunked the other!

On level 10 of weight lifting: my hunger level dropped right when I was supposed to click the bottom target. My controls became unresponsive and I missed the target. After that, every time I hit the bottom target, the programming said I missed the target. I flunked the class because somehow, I was unable to hit the bottom target after my pet's hunger went down. I have had my pet's hunger go down before when I was lifting the weights, before getting to a target, and this did not happen to me. I guess I was special today! LOL!

I still can't find anything to slow down my computer that doesn't make level 10 of agility "choppy". If I am extremely luck (which rarely happens) the class will go smoothly and I can pass it. When it is choppy, my controls somehow get out of synch with what I am seeing on the screen and I fail. This is really bothering me! Even on one of the fast computers on a lower level, sometimes the class is choppy. I am wondering if maybe it is Webkinz that is making it choppy (and not my computer(s))? Any thoughts?

I can't use the eveTV as iamnotanumber suggested because it only appears to run on a mac.

Last night I ran Camstudio (open source freeware), this slowed down my machine enough and allowed me to get to the double hurdles. This is almost twice as far as anything else I have tried. Will be trying this for strength as well.
I suspect it is purely a matter of practice and tweaking the capture rate of camstudio before I actually pass but at least there is a light at the end of the tunnel.

3 Three till I am Free FREE!!!
Wallace failed two days ago so I am a little behind schedule but I am so close I am not letting it bother me.

I sounds like Twinz is on the right course. I struggled for two months before I found this site and then it took another month to figure out the right way to slow my machine and practice to pass level 9. But look where I am now and I never tutored once.

Two Two Two!!! Agility classes left!
Note I say classes now instead of days. After I updated my system the timing on the jumps has changed slightly so I have failed twice this week but WHO CARES. 2 2 2 2 WHOO HOO

Congrats Iamnotanumber! Keep your fingers a-tappin.... maybe on Monday we'll hear that you got your pet through it!

My level 10 pet still has 21 classes to pass... and in another day one more pet will enter Level 10 too. But when Pet #1 completes it, with a minimum of fails, Pet #2 will be 30 classes into Level 10- then will get the class reduction... and be down to 20 classes instantly!

A few months ago I was thinking I would never pass Level 10 once... here's to not giving up- it still isn't really any easier, and I still hate doing this class.... but I will prevail

Hooray!!! I can hardly believe it. I was so excited on Sunday I CHOKED!!!
But this morning was Wallace's big day. He sailed over that last hurdle and reached the finish line. What a great relief.
