    Did anybody do

    Executive Function, Metacognition and Mental Health

    By Aidan Sammel

    Just seemed to stop after the colour game, and no completion code, well I didn't get one anyway

    Managed to get through it, but didn't get a completion code.

    Was the last section you did the one with the words/colours?
    No, I had a mental health questionnaire to do after that, then when I submitted, it took be to a log in page asking me for a password which I didn’t have, so I went back to Prolific and submitted it as no code.

    It appears my submission was approved sometime across the weekend for the full amount.

    Re Study:   

    Questionnaire on factors affecting profitability of Tesco in UK

    By Ziye Ba

    I reserved a place and attempted to start when I was taken to this notice: 

    "Google Forms
    You need access
    Request access, or switch to an account with access."

    I messaged the Researcher but did not receive a reply.  I Returned the Study.  Has anyone managed to successfully access and complete this Study?

    This is us, right? This means we no longer need to worry about paying tax on our Prolific earnings if we make over £1000/year, right? https://uk.news.yahoo.com/hmrc-issues-3-000-allowance-114919364.html
    HMRC announced an increase in the Income Tax Self Assessment (ITSA) reporting threshold from £1,000 to £3,000 on March 11. Up to 300,000 people, including those with side hustles, will no longer need to file a Self-Assessment tax return. This includes people trading clothes online, dog-walking or gardening on the side, driving a taxi, or creating content online.

    Possibly not, although it's not come in yet anyway. More discussion here.

    Anyone done any of the Platinum Experiments from the Fact-Checking Team? 

    Just wondering what they are like (I've not done one yet as they pay less than the AI ones and I've always had AI work to prioritise when they have been available).

    I did one just to see what it entailed. It's checking Ai work that's been labelled as inaccurate and judging how bad the error is. It wasn't my favourite task and i wouldn't do it if I have the option of one of the better paying tasks.

    Thanks. Odd that it pays quite a bit less.
