    Not sacked, surprisingly, but have to do the dreaded question bank again.

    To be honest, it all seems like a pointless exercise. Anyone who gets to the stage of production has had to sit vigorous exams, and prove their knowledge. I don't think quality is improved by making you constantly resit the test. No doubt if I do pass it'll only be a matter of weeks before I'm back to square one again. Very annoying.
  • I too am on with the third round, I really am losing the will to live now, oh well! only 800 more prompts to go zzzzz

    It certainly doesn't get any more interesting :wall:

    Plucked up the courage to do round 3 as well, I notice in the email they said there could be a fourth round. I'm still deciding whether I could face it again!!

    It is pretty monotonous but let's face it, it's easy money!

    I have to leave mine until I finish work and do it all in one go! Would be much better if I could do half in the morning and half in the afternoon. I hope it keeps coming as it is the only work I'm doing for Appen at the moment!
    Dreaming about glasses, ok.!?
  • There might be a fourth round, do I really want the money that much????
    OK Glass, kill me now

    Since I'd usually be working for Appen on Web Search Evaluation, I decided I'd do the fourth and final round in the time I'd usually allocate to that.

    Thank goodness though that was the final round. Easy, yes, but truly mind numbing!
  • I must admit, I did a little happy dance when I finished the fourth round.
  • All credit to you - Don't know how you could handle doing it 4 times. I checked out after the 2nd.

    Did any WSE's "fail" that additional task we were given last week? Just wondering how others did.
