    OMG I am so pleased!!!

    I sent my first test on Wednesday and got an email today saying I was accepted!!!!

    I must say some questions were pretty tough but the thing I hated the most was the application form's questions. I'm hopeless, or so I thought :cool:

    Can somebody give me more info about the induction?

    Sorry to hear about the ppl who didn't make it. Just try again, some questions can be tricky!!

    I've scanned through this thread and can't see if anyone has said how much AQA pay per answer. Do all of these companies pay the same?

  • Hey guys,

    I have been doing AQA for about 2 years now, and earn around £10 an hour.

    Just thought I would give this link to the new starts:

    http://www.palpa.co.uk/linki/

    It is a massive collection of websites, split into different categories so it is easy to navagate. Time is money!

    Take it easy

    Thanks for that Sir Dougie, that's going to come in really handy! :D I've just passed my first review too (well done Fay) but my average answer time is around 5 minutes. I'm really impressed that you earn £10 an hour, what does that make your average time?
  • I didn't get in.

    But on the plus side, I have an interview tonight with a tutoring agency! yay!

  • I'm an FR for AQA.

    I think it's a great idea and a great organisation but it's not easy money.

    It does get easier with time, but to start with it can take ten minutes to answer a question. An hourly rate of £1.80 isn't great!

    I think one of the reasons that they have such a high turnover of staff is that FRs expect it to be a doddle, when it's actually work.

    I love it though.
    Please note that any posts that I make on here are based on my personal opinion, experience and what I have read.
  • You are so right, Capuccinokid. I have been doing it for a couple weeks and I am just beginning to get the hang of it. It is definitely not easy money. I think you have to actually like research to enjoy it enough to stay with it. It is good fun though. Good luck to all trying to get in.
