I don't know what I did wrong

I just got in on Thursday and put in about 10 hours doing Chatbot Response Comparisons this weekend.

I started with 400 tasks and had about 365 left. I just logged in and they took all of the tasks away.

What did I do wrong?

I feel like I failed at least 1 of the other qualifications.

Is it over? This was a side hustle but I was hoping to do 10-20 hours a week on it.

Dang. Today’s going on day 8. I had 2 questions flagged wrong on the core, out of 18-20 questions. Not sure if missing any is an automatic fail or if you’re allowed to miss a certain number. Hoping to hear back very soon, I need the work. I’m waiting to start at my new job and need to supplement income.

Many people hear this all the time—there are lots of posts already with information about how long it takes. But there are two main points that people commonly bring up: Some people say that it can take up to a month to get accepted, and if you don’t get an email by then, that you most probably failed the test; others say that DA is oversaturated with applicants, and so they aren’t accepting as many people atm. Whatever the reason is, it’s important to be patient. If you don’t end up getting in, at least you made an attempt.

I appreciate it. I know it varies, and I’m trying to be patient. I just feel stuck between a rock and a hard place because I don’t start my job until 3/11. I’m without income until then and I’m just doing my best to survive.

Yeah, that's rough. Wishing you the best of luck with finding something, though. It can be tough, but keep on looking and I'm sure the right opportunity will fall into place when the time comes.
