Hi Laura,

Sorry for any confusion!! I'm just being careful because of the NDA!! On another forum the Task 5 is called tennis and it just stuck in mind as that!

I just missed my star rating last month having started mid-month so am anxiously awaiting this one!! Still have no "exam" feedback (Task 7), only Task 5. Guess it will be next week now.

To be honest, I'm trying not to stress too much about it all - I just do the best I can at the moment and record accurately my time and quota etc.........I'm working with the theory that if I was really messing up someone would be shouting :rotfl:

I started the same time as you and got a star rating so surprised that you didn't, also, the exam feedback is in the email entitled "Welcome to the rating program" which contained links to the portal etc.

I'm finding the map ones really confusing too, I don't understand what you can apply. I'm going to email them and ask for more information, perhaps if we all do they will put some information up.

Hiya

I didn't start for a little while after passing the exam as I was away for a week - when the first stars came out, I was only at the end of my second week and I think I needed to have done 3 to get my stripes!!

With regards to "exam" feedback, I obviously need to stop using other forum terms - I meant feedback for exam type rating (Type 7!) Sorry for the confusion!! I got official feedback last week on how I was doing with Type 5 tasks - I've been expecting official feedback on Type 7 this week.

How are you enjoying it overall? Strange as it sounds, I actually look forward to doing it!!

Thanks debbie and blue string soup for clearing up the confusion about tennis tasks!!

I can completely see why they are called that though :rotfl:

No idea how ive managed to get through 4 different task types today. I should be glad i suppose, i could have been made to play tennis all day!!

Really trying to stick to the metrics table, its ok for most tasks, i will get there eventually!!

help!

how do i stop rating?? i am doing tasks and pressing submit and then a new one is immediatley there. Do i just release it? or wait for it to stop offering me the same task?

Well i released one and it took me back to the select page. I was just wary of releasing for no good reason.

think i did the task 5 types, which were fine for my first time. apart from the special types which i had NO IDEA what to do or how to assess.

I'm not sure if i can keep up the work, having got a full time contract job to start Monday, which isn't ideal when doing new tasks will involve an hour or so reading before doing. will try and stick to just known tasks for the week. Though not sure 2 hours for week 1 will be okay.

I thought that was only if you failed the second exam?
