I have managed a whole 13 minutes so far today - and 10 of those were earlier this morning whilst I was waiting for my youngest to get ready for school. I hope it soon picks up

Not for me either............managed a whole 9 minutes this morning and nothing since. The whole of the last week has been very hit and miss

Well done. That's amazing....what's your secret?

Ive no idea Carol !! Lol. I was really surprised. Ive just done my first six weeks, just missed the last star rating as I guess I hadnt done quite long enough, Im pretty sure I would not have got 4 stars after just 2-3 weeks.
TBH, I only really feel comfortable with type 7s / exams tasks, and over the first few weeks when there were plenty of tasks available, I would always choose those, Lol !! Ive managed to get my time down to around the matrix times on those and dont get many back for resolving, so guess Ive just managed to get my head around the GG with those. Up until this last week when there have been no work (grrr) Ive been doing a solid 15 hours a week and I definitely found I got a lot quicker with them after maybe 4-5 weeks, it just seemed so much easier. The other types however I struggle more with and my productivity has been a lot slower than the matrix's suggest. I particularly hate type 5s, never really sure on my rating with those, but after watching a training seminar on the portal the other week Ive managed to speed up a bit on those as well and my feedback on them on the portal wasnt too bad and has helped as well.

I think its just having confidence in your first instincts, because if you dont and end up spending much longer researching, then its harder to get near the productivity times. However, I dont know how much the star ratings are based on productivity and how much on rating quality/accuracy, and I find its tricky trying to balance the two....

I had the opposite: most of my early tasks were type 5 and I hate them but have just watched the webinar which is helpful. No tasks at all today which is rubbish!
