    Another underpaying one
    Still loads of places remaining on this one. I thought PA had stopped allowing blatantly underpaying studies.

    I still think the payments are generous compared to what a lot of other sites pay for similar length surveys

    Hi littlegreenant,

    Is it possible to search for these surveys and complete them, or can they only be done if they drop into your own studies section automatically?

    You have to be offered them.  It is very rare to be screened out from a Prolific survey, and this is because you are only shown surveys which fit your (extensive) profile.

    Math Mental Calculations Study

    Hosted by Isabel Ding
    £0.30 12 minutes £1.43/hr 753 places remaining

    Did anyone do this? I was absolutely fuming with it - for a start, look at the paltry pay.  I only took part because it said they would award a £5 bonus to the top 5 performing entrants.  It promised that you could click end at any time and there was an End button, but clicking it did absolutely nothing.  I proceeded through 100 maths questions before giving up and returning the study.  Have reported it but very unhappy with the way it was presented.

    After reading your comments, I did 10 questions and pressed 'end', which ended the study immediately. I couldn't be bothered doing any more.
