I think a lot of the star rating is based on the quantity of tasks you complete. For the past 2 months i have had holidays and therefore booked blackout periods of 2 weeks each month, both months i only got 2 stars. This month i have managed over 10 hours every week and managed to get 3 stars.

Ah, I had a 2 week blackout period too as I was going on holiday just after I got accepted onto the programme, so the star rating is really only for 2 to 3 weeks work.

Just logged in to discover I've got 4 stars this month - was not expecting that!

I got 3 stars my first month then no stars the next 2 months, as i've not done enough tasks (less than 5 hours a month). So they couldn't rate me. My time sheets got approved with no comment last 2 times so speed is fine.

Hi friends.

My girlfriend did the second exam few days ago, and the final date to complete the exam was 20 of this month...

I´m wondering if anyone knows the time to rate the exam from lionbridge. In the mail, they say that it takes around 4 hours but I´m still waiting...

any idea?

Just noticed that I got my first star rating and disappointed to see it was 2. I thought I was doing ok

Glad to know it's not just me. I've just started with them and got a 2. I looked at my detailed feedback and most of them were green, a few yellows - I wouldn't have thought it was that bad.

I've struggled to get anything like the ten hours done over the last few weeks - often I've logged on and only had about 10 minutes of work before the tasks have run out. I have a kid and another job (childminder) so I can't be checking all day every day, I have to hope there's stuff to do at the times I've set aside. I guess if rating is productivity based I'll just have to keep checking more often. :eek:

I am not sure that the star rating takes into account the number of hours you do (unless it is too little that they cannot accurately get a rating). I got 2 stars in my 1st month also but since then have worked my way up to my 1st lot of 5 stars this month. On looking at my type 7 feedback I can see that I got 100% "correct" so I am assuming that this type of feedback makes up a fair amount of the star rating. Due to being ill, a couple of days away and then NRT this month I am not sure I have made 10 hrs any week this month - but still got 5 stars.

Usually, all you get is the task feedback!

How do you get feedback?

I got a star rating but no proper feedback.

Hiya All.

I didnt want to post anything earlier incase I jynxed myself.

Passed my theory last week and had my pass of practical confirmation through this evening Over the moon! I thought I had failed as it said I would find out around 4 hours after exam expiry time and that was yesterday evening; but an email came through tonight to say I had passed!

I thought the theory was pretty hard going but quite enjoyed the practical!
