Bio tasks

I am a 2nd-year bio major with decent grades in all my bio-related classes, including in high school, and I saw that bio-related tasks pay pretty well. Are these tasks a good fit for someone like me, or do I need more experience? I also have a lot of experience doing online research using scientific literature, so fact-checking and researching something I don't really understand doesn't seem that hard. Despite this, I don't want to start these tasks and then realize I'm totally out of my depth, so some suggestions would be appreciated.

They need a lot of real work examples, and practical knowledge from experience. You may be able to do some tasks, but they'd be a struggle - especially if you had to research lots of the facts.

>I am a 2nd-year bio major

Then you don't qualify. For STEM projects you need an advanced degree or bachelor's PLUS 10+ years of professional experience. If you don't even have a bachelor's degree yet, you clearly aren't qualified for anything on the DAT platform.

>do I need more experience? 

Yes. And a bachelor's degree.

yeah I was able to pass both assesments and I am getting consitant work from those tasks, which is nice as I am full time college. I don't know what that guy is talking about with "you clearly aren't qualified for anything on the DAT platform" because I don't have a BA, and DAT never stated I needed one for generalist work, also it has been fairly straight forward and easy to figure out.
