  • Just a heads up - if you are trying to do the test for GfK on their phone audits, the reason your test will keep failing is because GfK don't know the difference between 'covert' and 'overt'. The briefing notes state OVERT yet on the first question 'Is this a covert visit?' you have to select YES otherwise the test will fail.

    Always helpful.

    I'm having issues with GAP.

    Been unable to access Burger or Chicken jobs since late 2011, and they were the only GAP assignements I used to do!

    With Burger I stupidly tried to complete a certification test refresher on my phone, browser didn't like it and now it states that I have failed the evaluation.

    With Chicken I was asked the vetting questions again, answered the same as every time before but was told I didn't meet the criteria.

    So RE only for me at the minute, have emailed GAP to try and get a resoultion, but was told it was a low priority. Which is fair enough, but that was January.

    Can someone tell me what 'yellow ticket items' are from the large swedish store. When they say a large purchase, how much £££ are we talking?

    Does anyone know what these Gap burger 'Special Project' jobs are actually for? I'm allowed to take them even though I managed to fail the screening questions about 5 years ago and I've noticed it seems to be the same particular sites coming up every week.

    I think they're worth taking because they're easy and the fee is pretty good but I'd be interested to know what they're all about.

    Well as far as I know, in conversation I had with them last week its basically 'burgers by moonlight'. Did them last year. Simple as daytime.

    If you take them and it's city centre, try to avoid a weekend!
    Well, you can tell by the way I use my walk

    Yellow ticket means you have to collect them from the warehouse rather than the market place, prices are from £8 up depending on what you buy.

    Thanks, thought they were talking £100 upwards on furniture or similar. Still a crappy fee for the amount of work though!

    You also have to click 'Depends' on talking to a staff member, which I don't think is particularly accurate, but there we are.

    The rest are fairly intuitive

    thanks, Id put that as the right answer anyhow based on previous audit visits to this client :D


    Have had an email back from the GFK allocator who has confirmed the first one was set up wrong and it is now corrected, so if you doing the test now you should be able to put the right answers in and pass!

    any one else also notice that the briefing notes say page 1/4 2/4 3/4 and there is no 4/4 ?!
