Anyone else taking Lionbridge Exam next week?

Thanks marksyx - I remember you passed your exam round about the same time as me. How are you finding it? To be honest, it feels like I'm not doing anything correctly as I either find them too easy (in which case I doubt myself as to why I'm finding them easy) or too hard. There's no middle ground it seems. Ah well - hope my timesheets get approved in a months time.

Hi all,

I've just finished the Part 2 of my exam and am absolutely exhausted! I so do hope I pass it.

I was just reading through the original email I received from the Lionbridge (The subject line is:Consulting Agreement) and they quote the hourly pay in Euros. I wonder if it's a mistake.

Could I ask if your rate's been quoted in euros or pounds? I'm in the UK so naturally would want to be paid in pounds.

Thanks!

The rate of pay is in Euro's and isn't incorrect.

The rate of pay is Euros. Contact your bank and make sure they don't charge to convert. My bank doesn't.

I contacted my bank on the woman on the phone was useless as she said she didn't know and gave me the same answer after consulting with someone else!

I feel exactly the same at the moment! I'm also struggling more than I thought I would to fit this in alongside a full-time job!

Same here - some seem really easy & others seem really hard, watching my time though after Sammyantha got sacked.

Just been doing some this weekend & managed to do about 6 hours which isn't bad, just finding the number of different types of tasks a little overwhelming!

And I'll find out tomorrow whether I can fit this around college ok - don't see why not though.

Good luck to anyone awaiting exam results tomorrow!

I don't like doing the "Task 5" ones as I don't really know how to compare them! They don't seem to go on to the "unresolved tasks" so I have no idea if I'm doing them right at all.

Sam, I'm starting full-time work tomorrow so it's gonna be hard for me too. I was working part-time up until last week but I proved too good at my job to be only part-time lol!

I'm not keen on them either - just wish I could do some different tasks.

You should be able to find out how you are doing with them in the portal - on the left hand side under performance data.

Good luck on the job as well!

:eek: Be careful people - remember you signed the NDA at the beginning....always refer to tasks by number....you'd be amazed at the people who read forums like this. You may want to edit your posts.
