Texpert Challenge

Has anybody actually passed this??? I have spent two days on it. It is absolutely driving me mad. I can't see why you have to pass it to get in to be a researcher anyway, because if you are a researcher you can look up the answers. I would be able to look them all up and answer them correctly - just not in 15 seconds!!!!!

I'm sure the scoring isn't accurate too. There have been times when I know I have got them all right, but it doesn't give me 100%.

Do you have to pass? Is there any other way of getting a job with them? Can anyone please help?

I passed the second time. The first was because on the reading section the thing was just way too long.

The 15 seconds things are alright if you are a fast typer, and have wikipedia and google open in another tab.

I just can't do it :-( I've tried and tried and tried. One time I know for a fact I got all the research questions at the end right, and I still only got 62%. How can that be?

Do you have to get 100% in every section to pass?

I passed it but not first time. The ngot an email saying I was in but there was a 2 month wating list. I saud fine waited and waited and then thought forget this and passed AQA instead

I passed it too ...

I imagine that they are looking for key words, and if your answer does not contain them it will automatically be marked wrong.

Keep trying ... x

Really can't do it :-(

Do you have to get 100% for all the sections?

I had around 90-100% for the sections apart from the numbers, where I had about 80% (they had three triangle questions in a row).

Another wasted day. I must of tried this hundreds of times literally. What with this and my bingo problem, I think God just wants me to be poor :-(

jayneuk

I just got all the research questions right definitely, but it said I only got 68.75%. Has this happened to anyone else? There is no point in me spending days doing it if it's going to fail me even when I get them all right.

jayne,

As I said before, it is likely that the research section is automatically marked looking for key words. If you do not write these words it will fail you. It does seem unfair, but it is an easy way of marking a lot of tests.

jayneuk

But you don't write words, you just tick boxes??
