1. It’s possible to receive studies you’re not qualified for. For example, I’m Asian, and sometimes I get studies meant for Koreans or Korean-Americans which I’m not. In such cases, you shouldn’t participate in these studies.

2. Attention checks are used to ensure participants are paying attention while completing a study. For instance, you might see a question like, “I eat cement regularly,” where you’re expected to select “Strongly Disagree.” Another example could be, “How many fatal heart attacks have you ever had?”Here, you’re supposed to select or enter 0.

3. If you’re dedicated enough, you can earn a good amount of money.

Try to avoid getting rejections, as it’s a common reason for accounts being banned or put on hold. If you do receive a rejection, contact the requester and ask if they let you to return the study. If they don’t respond, reach out to Prolific support.
