AQA Query's

I just cannot get accepted at AQA and cannot work out why. How many hours do you all say you can work?

Definitely send them an e-mail, they will tell you what you got wrong. I asked for feedback and wish I hadn't bothered!

I've just sent them an email as they are still recruiting in Australia....just moved here and this would be perfect for me so I can fit around the kids.....will see if they get back to me!

I have been working for them for a couple of weeks. Thankfully I passed my first review, although I didn't do as well as I'd thought. It just proves that they have VERY VERY high standards, but since texters pay £1 a question, they deserve a decent answer!

I have probably done around 10 -15 hours of work so far and earnt £27. It's not a big money maker, I'm doing it to add to my snowballing. Remember you'd need to take tax off that and save it for the tax bill at the end of the year.

I am getting faster, but you still get very, very tricky questions which can take time to answer. It can be annoying at times if you can't find the answer and perhaps this is where mistakes are made. I am enjoying it as I am learning lots of new information but I am also worried about my next review - there is no guarantee I will pass it. Once you're 'fired' you're not allowed to re-apply.

I agree, but to turn someone down because they accidently put an extra space in etc. is a bit much.

In fairness, one small error like that wouldn't get someone turned down... if there are several errors, or most of the questions aren't answered in the AQA 'style', that's usually why people get a 'no'.

I got my feedback from AQA:

Q1: SPG: insert full stop after "coffin". All sentences should end with full stops. Also, "coffin", not "Coffin" (no need to capitalise ordinary nouns).

Q2: SPG: "bookies' favourite", not "bookies favourite". It's a plural possessive, not just a plural, and so it needs an apostrophe.

Q3: SPG: the comma in the 1st sentence should be replaced with either a semi-colon or a full stop. This grammatical error is known as a "comma splice".

Q9: SPG: again, you need to end the sentence with a full stop.

Q12: SPG: should be "...Roman numerals, which do not contain..."
rather than "...Roman numerals, which does not contain...", since "Roman numerals" is plural.

Don't think I will be applying again based on that feedback!
