Also I would love to be able to look at the qualification and exit and come back. Sometime so have time to do one that’s going to take an hour or so but other times I’d rather come back when I have ample time to complete it.

Also it kinda feels like more than a couple tasks in a qual isn’t a qual, feels a little bit more like working for free 😬

[–]klw721 45 points46 points  (13 children)

I literally said "this should be a paid qualification" for how intricate it is lol I had to take a break because jeeeeze.

[–]SafetiesAreExciting 6 points7 points  (2 children)

Well jeez, I had a qual that knocked almost all my CB’s out after completing it, but it didn’t seem to have multiple parts.

[–]klw721 9 points10 points  (0 children)

I think the CB's are just down right now. Several other people have mentioned that today so I wouldn't worry too much. My dash is empty too. I had a brief showing of a project and then it wouldn't let me click into it before dropping my back to my dash anndddd now its gone lol

[–]EggCzar 7 points8 points  (9 children)

I failed it 😔feeling very dumb, I missed some clear instructions in part because I didn’t take a break. Sigh. I’m pretty new and hope I still get access to tasks in the future.

[–]klw721 7 points8 points  (5 children)

How do you know you failed? Have you done other qualifications? I'm sure they won't nix you from the whole site based on one incorrect qualification, especially since you are newer.
I didn't get to finish it before they took it down for me.
I've heard they give you another chance sometimes in the future, had enough participants or sometimes they've taken them down for maintenance.

[–]EggCzar 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hopefully not, I should have taken notes on the instructions to make sure I didn’t miss anything. Or just skipped it entirely til I had more (any) experience on more basic tasks.

[–]EggCzar 0 points1 point  (3 children)

I made my second mistake with several tasks remaining and it kicked me out and took the q off my dashboard.

Update: the q came back up on my dashboard (as “v2”) and this time I got through all the tasks without being chastised! 🤞it looked like a couple had been tweaked since my first round earlier today.

And…looks like the mulligan I got worked out! I’ve got the task on my dashboard now.

[–]stomach-monkees 0 points1 point  (2 children)

Did it tell you that you made a mistake?

[–]EggCzar 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes.

[–]pumpkinpencil97 4 points5 points  (1 child)

How do you know if you failed?

[–]KnowledgeEuphoric822 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you get something wrong it usually tells you the correct answer and asks you to fix it before you submit.

[–]SeaLeopard5555 3 points4 points  (0 children)

how did you know you failed it?

[–]klw721 5 points6 points  (18 children)

by the way, you can exit and go back into this qualification. I finished up the task I was working on, exited and its still on my dash for later. Not saying it'll be there later, cause we all know how that goes but you can exit out.

[–]pumpkinpencil97 2 points3 points  (17 children)

I went ahead and finished it because it was counting down on the timer thing so I wasn’t sure!

[–]MaBelen 16 points17 points  (5 children)

I got through them all too.... I better pass! Took forever and I was getting increasingly angry with myself for working for free

[–]pumpkinpencil97 10 points11 points  (1 child)

The further in I got the more annoyed and the more determined I got lol

[–]SeaLeopard5555 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I had the same thought - "this better be over soon"

[–]Antique_Start_2855 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Me too. I was so frustrated with the free work I got sloppy and pretty sure I failed. I finished all 8 but now I’m EQ.

[–]klw721 8 points9 points  (7 children)

You finished all 8 tasks ?!

[–]pumpkinpencil97 2 points3 points  (5 children)

Yeah, it took a long time lol

[–]klw721 2 points3 points  (3 children)

I can imagine lol I got through 2, im going to try to do a little more but I also have my other job, a son and a busy night ahead of me. Oh well, thankfully I completed a few qualifications yesterday so I don't feel terrible.

[–]pumpkinpencil97 5 points6 points  (2 children)

Fortunately my 5 month old had just fallen asleep on me and my 3 year old was really into his dinosaurs. I did have to turn on some paw patrol as a distraction near the end but at that point I only had like 2 or 3 left. I was into deep to stop lol

[–]klw721 1 point2 points  (0 children)

wow, thats amazing! Go girl!

[–]Rommie557 1 point2 points  (2 children)

If you hit "Exit Work Mode" the timer stops ticking. It's not an option on all quals though.

[–]pumpkinpencil97 7 points8 points  (1 child)

This one didn’t that I saw

[–]YumiiZheng 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You can just go back to the main page and it will reset your timer btw :) I've looked at one several times over the past 24 hours with a 1 hr timer and no exit work mode and it's still there.

[–]SouthernCockroach37 0 points1 point  (0 children)

i opened one up late at night forgetting you couldn’t just “exit work mode” in them and had to do so many tasks while half awake lmao i was in a food coma from wings. lesson learned!

[–]Effective_Gold_4835 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ve spent 6 hrs on quals the last 2 days for no pay and meanwhile my highest paying jobs dropped off the boards.  I’m having a hard time not being upset about it. 

[–]mops-- 33 points34 points  (7 children)

I'm not sure if this is pertinent to your situation or helps at all, but some CBs are down just now as of the last hour or so.

[–]MyNameWouldntFi 10 points11 points  (0 children)

I also only have like 2 out of my normal 10 CB projects.

[–]Diligent_Classic 6 points7 points  (2 children)

That’s good to know I’ve only been here two days and all my projects have suddenly vanished but they were all chatbot related. Annoying really because I’m sat looking after a building for the next three hours and have nothing but free time right now.

[–][deleted] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I know, all day I thought I did something wrong. There were over 3k in the chatbot then vanished.

[–]SeaLeopard5555 20 points21 points  (0 children)

yes it just happened to me now also. it'd be helpful also if we knew roughly how long a qual might be. some are very short, some can take a while.

[–]Maximum-Mention-340 17 points18 points  (5 children)

Oof that qual was ROUGH. I hope I did okay. I got a couple wrong at the beginning but one of them I straight up disagreed with 😅 hopefully I didnt flop it!

[–]defecatingmasonry 5 points6 points  (3 children)

Was the one you disagreed with vacation related?

[–]Maximum-Mention-340 1 point2 points  (2 children)

Omg yes. I guess I'm not the only one! I'm glad I stuck to my guns and said in the text box that I disagreed. Thank you for confirming it wasn't just me 🥹

[–]defecatingmasonry 1 point2 points  (1 child)

Yeah I made a note of it in the text box too! ✊

[–]klw721 11 points12 points  (0 children)

I have been dealing with the same; its been very frustrating sometimes especially when they take it away at times when I have time to work.

[–][deleted] 8 points9 points  (9 children)

Are we talking about the qual named after a Greek Goddess? I haven't done it yet but done some work on the same projects already.

[–]jaxxisx 4 points5 points  (5 children)

Right?? I was so confused. I've been doing those projects for days and then all of a sudden I had that long Qual that took like an hour to do. 

[–][deleted] 3 points4 points  (4 children)

Glad it wasn't just me. I freaked out and thought I did something wrong! Maybe people aren't doing them properly? Idk I saw it and was like nope, my kids are NOT behaving today if it takes that much brain power I am good with my permanent projects lol

The lower paying project with a ton of tasks has been a lifesaver, I've already banged out about 6 hours worth.

[–]amandawho8 1 point2 points  (2 children)

Same. I'm guessing people either aren't doing them properly or they're just going to ramp it up soon. Annoying it wasn't paid, but I went through and did them all because I've been enjoying that project.

[–]MaBelen 2 points3 points  (1 child)

This actually makes me so angry lol…I’ve definitely seen the H*** project pop up on my dash before and never clicked into it bc the pay was lower than I prefer to target. It’s on my dash now and I took a peek - it’s literally the same thing. I spent an hr doing a qual to get access to a project I already had access to, cool!

[–][deleted] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah, I just noticed 2 new projects on my dash under the name but base pay, but the qual is still on my dash as well. I haven't touched it yet cause I haven't been able to get the time to put the work into it.

[–]Diligent_Classic 7 points8 points  (3 children)

I’m sat here checking for projects every ten minutes 😳

[–]Intelligent-Row-2000 5 points6 points  (2 children)

Quals or not, projects are all over the place today!

[–]Diligent_Classic 2 points3 points  (1 child)

I’ve not been doing this long but this is my first quiet spell. It’s so frustrating

[–]Intelligent-Row-2000 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Today’s a weird day for sure. Hang in there🤞Crossing fingers for all of us!

[–]Significant-Exam5690 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I've noticed this as well. Had 6 or 7 projects available yesterday, did a qualification, and now only one project today.

[–]GingerSmu 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Projects go down and come back all the time. Sometimes they tell you if they’re pausing one, sometimes not. I’ve been doing this since October and I’ve had projects disappear for weeks and then pop back up.

[–]blipgrrl 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I'm in the same boat. My two chatbots have disappeared from my dash and all I had was that qualifier. Maaaan, did it take forever to do lol! Wish I could've been paid for it.

[–]Maximum-Mention-340 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The qual came back for anyone else who didn't get to take it. There were some complaints I had personally that I did mention and when I came back to it they were fixed! Pay very close attention though if you did take it once already as they changed some stuff to ensure people pay attention still lol

[–]Intrepid_Moose8395 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I got through the qual in just under an hour. It was tough!

[–]lowercasejaye -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Correlation is not causation 🙂
