  • Hi, what exactly do AQA want to know as to why you want the job? Are the questions straight forward. Thanks

    Can you do AQA work even if you're at work all day? Is there a time limit to respond by?

  • Hi, I looked at the 82askquestions, and they were ridiculous andunanswerable..(how many badgers does it take to knock over a skyscraper). Is the AQA test like that...is it about being lateral and witty or is it more straightforward?

    I've used 82ask as a consumer and they told me that a smurf is officially three apples high and the beginning of a rubber band is in the factory so I think it's more off the wall! :confused:

    AQA advertise very briefly for a day or so for UK vacancies so when you see vacancies advertised, you send them an email and they send you back an application form and test, the form is pretty basic, why do you think you would make a good internet researcher. The test is somewhat harder, the tests i did were 12 questions, and you should spend no more than 6 mins per question - a fair mix eg. silly ones like how many baked beans would it take to fill the grand canon, info ones like its my birthday on friday where can i go where they play jazz, if anyone wants to pm me i can send you the test with my answers (so u can see how not to do it).

    The job involves answering questions that people send via txt, believe u can work at anytime, but busier times are at weekends and evenings. pay is 30p per question answered.

    Good luck Webitha, take your time with the test. Spelling and grammar are important.
