Anyone else taking Lionbridge Exam next week?

Can anyone tell me how long you have to be working for them to offer you the bonus?

I've only been here a week and I am already looking forward to it!

Just checked and I've got 4 stars again .

i've not done enough to get stars again.

I did manage to do double my bonus target (10 tasks) though

Well I have checked my stars this morning and baring in mind I am only on my second month with them I am quite disheartened to see 2 lowly stars there.

Upon looking at the feedback on the sample they looked at though I must admit I disagree with about half of the ratings I got pulled up on.


It does not look like they will be keeping me on much longer.

Have you tried the quizzes and the videos on the website?

I'm in my second month too and still find them useful.

It's awful when you see the two stars isn't it? I was in the same position as you last month, my first star rating and it was only two - I was very disappointed and also worried sick that I'd get two again this month and so be dropped from the programme.
After a few days I started to fel a bit more positive, did loads of quizzes and managed to improve my scores. I started getting really nervous about it again this week, but I now have my three stars, so I can relax a bit - still disappointed though as I thought I'd improved a lot!
I'm sure you will do better next month too, there's a lot to learn and we can only get better!

NRT! Why offer a bonus if there's no tasks!

TwistedPsycho

Grrrrr. I thought that I would do as some of you suggest and do some of the quizzes.

I am getting marked down though because pages are simply not loading! I followed the instructions, I even left the question and came back to it and each time I got the generic Firefox "Connection Reset" page, so I mark it DL and get told its wrong.

Whats the point of me either bothering to carry on trying if I am constantly failing the quizzes now.

EDIT: I just give up... I am picking up 70% marks all the time and then hit a 47%. It was fun for the 6 weeks it lasted, I will just sit with the NRT screen until they drop me next week I suppose.

It takes some time to get the hang of it - don't give up though! You won't get dropped because you got 2 stars, in my first month I did also.

This NRT is ridiculous though, so much for a bonus week.

Managed a whole 25 minutes this morning before the dreaded NRT
