Yes. Completed them all.

It's probably just a waiting game then, unless Support find a problem and resolve it for you

it has been quiet for about a week for me. I generally have 1 or 2 a day. I don't mind them at all as they are generally interesting and it is real money not points and, once you have started, it doesn't bump you out like most.

I agree, even though there can be quiet times I still think it's one of the best sites

Just a quick run down from one of the regulars, please (and a link plse

It's one of the better survey sites. Once you are accepted for a survey, then so long as you complete it properly and aren't slapdash you will get your reward.


Sign up at https://app.prolific.co/ - there aren't any referral links, as they have stopped their referral scheme.

Thank you Molly R

Couple of things I think worth adding :

- You tend not to get email notifications, for best results you need to keep your browser open all the time to jump on the surveys
- Make sure you fill your profile info out fully
- You need over £5 to cash out
- Agree with the above, it is one of the better sites as you don't get screened out (you will get declined if you fail the attention checks that come up though)
- The surveys are typically a lot more interesting

Enjoy

Thanks for adding those, ndf.



Also: You won't have to keep refreshing the Prolific browser tab. When one or more surveys are on offer to you, the number of surveys will appear in the tab's title, rather like the number of unread messages on a Gmail tab, so when you spot that you can go straight there.



Although some people post details here when they have a survey offered to them, I have never been offered any of those surveys myself; they choose the respondents for each survey pretty carefully. (I've only ever had one for which I wasn't qualified, and I had to DQ myself, as it failed to ask the right question at the start!)


Payments are made on Tuesdays and Fridays, and you can only do one cash-out at a time - so it is best to cash out shortly before the payments are made.

I was disqualified after answering the first question slightly negativly, did I miss something?

Maybe. There was an Attention Question asking you how often you do Prolific Studies and you had to answer "Very Frequently" or something like that

I answered neutral and was disqualified as well
In the last week I have had 3 or 4 that have disqualified me after a few questions
Think I may need to go through my about you section and check it is all up to date

How odd. This popped up for me a few minutes ago, I had no problems with it (the attention check was very early on, page 2 I think).
