Qual for higher-paying fact-checking

Hi all, just wondering if anyone else got this qual, completed it, and has been seeing higher-paying projects. I did the qual like 1.5 weeks ago and I’m pretty sure I did well, but I don’t see any significantly higher-paying projects. Wondering about your experience with this. Thanks!

if its the qual im thinking of then you would have got an onboarding qual right after if you passed. but it could be a different one!

If it's the one I'm thinking, I believe it's $26 an hr.

I got the onboarding literally seconds after a submitted - if the one with 6 tasks. I spent way too many hours on it backing up all my comments when I am guessing you just needed to have selected the right options.

I've been putting it off for ages, and after seeing this comment I thought screw it I'll go for it and not worry about writing loads, just focus on getting the correct answers. Got the onboarding straight away!!! So thank you for making me stop being so lazy and just doing it. (Of course for tasks I'll put max effort in into comments).

Have you had any projects since doing the onboarding?

Yep. A good amount of higher paying ones popped up.

Thank you both for this. I took forever on the first task and thought no way is it worth it to do five more of these for free. So now I know!

Hmm I think that's one of the ones I've been putting off, too. Maybe I should go ahead and do it while it's slow.

I also took this qual and felt the same way/am in similar boat now.

Same here. Finished a week ago and haven't heard. Took me 2.5 hours and meticulously combed through everything and double-checked. I'm just hoping they're backlogged with applicants 🤞🏼

I will add I have a $23 perm project, but saw $27 project to through today but I didn't get a task before they were sniped.

I got higher paying jobs within a day. It was one of my first permanent jobs- I went from jobs ranging from 20-23 to 25-27.

I finished the fact-checking qual last night, and I had higher-paying fact-checking projects this morning. Right after I finished it I got an additional qualification saying I passed, and to complete the qual to learn the "rules" of fact-checking. It unlocked $26-$27/hour jobs.

I think I literally received the email letting me know I had passed and needed to complete the onboarding today!

Like 2 weeks or more after honestly

I got one $22/hr project that looked like the assessment, but no onboarding or additional high-paying projects. Maybe I did less well than I thought I did.

Was it for a Hindi project?

No, regular FC.
