    Been having a look at this, it certainly seems easier than UK based ones in the past, I can remember doing a really complicated exam that I didn't pass! I have tried the initial test and now have 3 videos to watch and then another test I think.

    I am torn. I can't really see how 3p a go will ever amount to anything but I waste so much time googling I may as well be earning some pennies in the background.

    I think I read that you can actually change jobs to FactFinder which is advertised as 7p. I'm doing the practice questions now and earning 10p so might be even higher...

    Fact finder would be very hard I think

    How long did it take for you to be able to change status to available after you got the confirmation e-mail? I'm quite excited about getting started now :-)

    It depends on how much work you want to do I suppose.

    I'm a FactFinder and the questions I'm answering just now have been:
    • How do I know if a boy likes me?
    • How can I prevent chlamydia?
    • How do I know if I've got radiation poisoning?
    • How big is a women's va**** (don't know if I'm allowed to write the full word! Lol)
    It's pretty simple though - all you're doing is Googling really!

    There was a problem with mine so they had to manually change my status today (I was accepted on Friday I think).

    I wouldn't be surprised if you were sorted for tomorrow!

    I just did both tests and straightaway it told me I'm a loser. I failed them both! I don't get it! I know most of my answers were right. What did I do wrong?

    Was all your spelling/grammar correct? Did you take a long time to complete the questions? They're the only things I could think of, unless they've put a limit on how many people can apply...
