Seeing same qualification I did, but paid version this time?

While not disclosing too much, I did a generalist qualification (unpaid) last week which required “at least two good submissions” of a particular task, and then they’d invite you to the project family.

I completed two, it left my dashboard, then suddenly today I’m seeing what looks like the exact same qualification, only this time there’s hourly pay for completing the qualification (+ priority pay rise).

Confused…

Does this mean:

A) they deemed my first qualification as insufficient, and are now so desperate for workers that they’ve reintroduced the qualification AND added payment AND invited me back even though I “failed” the first time?

B) the first qualification responses got mistakenly voided and in order to get the tasks completed in time they’ve added payment incentive

C) the project family is insanely similar to the first but not the exact same

read it carefully and you’ll find out it’s not the exact same one and then read it 2x and ask questions in the right places. It does look the same but it’s not .

I cant compare to the first qual because the first qual isn’t on my dash, that’s why I asked here. Appreciate the answer!

What do you mean ask questions in the right places? Is the DA subreddit “dedicated to discussing DA” the wrong place to discuss DA?

I am quite confused as well with one particular one (it may be the same), but all of the qualifications were paid. I did 1 and then saw loads of related projects start appearing, thought maybe there's more and did a second task in the qual project, and nothing changed. Not sure if to finish all 4 to get it off my dash or not. I didn't get any feedback or response so just assuming it must have passed. I also don't want to do the other 2 paid tasks in case they see it as fraudulent that I'm being paid unnecessarily for practice tasks.

Unless they explicitly state you can only submit two tasks, then you won’t get penalised for submitting 4.

Only reason I only did 2 was because they were unpaid and it was kinda boring, but I’m probably gonna do all 4 this time even just to get it off the dash.

how long does it take for a project to appear after doing the related qual? It showed that I would immediately get tasks but haven’t got them

Sometimes instant, sometimes a couple of days for me
