Bit the bullet and emailed them. Glad I did as they don't seem to have received my application back. I've re-sent it again so here's hoping.

I'll filled in the application form and the test! quite hard but ok, took just over an hour. Hoping i will be succesful. Does it matter if you dont work one month and work the next? Just curious, think i will work at it every day! How much has people earnt by doing this part time?

Congratulations Paul! Well done! :j

There's a lot of reading to do before the induction - take your time, as the information about formatting is quite important.

For people wondering how much can be earned, I am keeping a record in my sig of monthly earnings; hope it's of interest to some of you.

As I've just started, I'm aiming for £10 per day (34 questions) and then more at weekends. Of course, this depends on how hard the questions are, and how busy it is. Longer term,(next month!) I want to use AQA to pay all the household expenses, which means I will need an average of £17 per day.

Yesterday, I got about £12.80.

Jo1972 - good luck with your AQA frenzy this weekend! I'm thinking of selling ALL the stuff in the spare room over the weekend, if I can co-opt OH.

Best wishes to all those waiting to hear.

Thanks for the advice, DJ! I'm quite looking forward to receiving my starter pack and getting stuck into the reading!

£10 a day sounds like a sensible amount to aim for; I think I will do the same.


I second the best wishes to everyone still waiting to hear.

I started AQA-ing in March this year. I made around £500 in my first month. You tend to be faster when you get used to the system, and know how to use the KES database, most of the answers are there, it might be a matter of rephrasing the question or putting the correct spelling to bring the answer up. It is very demanding sometimes and if you do not use it effectively you can easily work for less than the minimun wage. Spending 10 minutes on a question translates to £1.80 per hour.

£500 in first month! Wow!

I'd better be doing it all day over the weekend to catch up! My problem is that I get too involved in questions that I find interesting and start reading everything. I am finding that the database is coming in more and more useful now, and am starting to use it more frequently.

Although, there are some very "wrong" people out there of a Thursday night!

Paul - I found it SOO frustrating the first day as it felt like I couldn't answer any, or it was taking me hours, but it gets better...

I'd better get logged on as I just bought a ticket for Bestival next year :eek: (trying not to work out how many questions THAT cost)
