Rewrite a sentence, 5 cents each

These seem pretty simple, you have to pass a qualification test to do them. I did 5 of them, going to wait and make sure they're approved before doing more for the requester, just to make sure I'm understanding the instructions correctly.

She's a good requester. Always pays quickly and gives bonuses as promised.

 

Just curious what you guys got on the English qualification test? I way off from 500 approved HITs but just curious.

 

I got 23. I don't remember taking it at all, but that's what my qual says.

 

I'm at 22.

 

I'm also at 22. Weird!

 

I just made the cut at 21

 

So you've done the ones where you choose synonyms for sentences, and there's a bonus structure? I can't figure out to do those ones, it seems like it should be simple but Im just not getting something.

 

I did these a couple of months ago for this requester. After 20 or so I randomly got a message saying I'd been banned from working for that requester until Feb 2017! I emailed her. She replied the next day and said she'd work it out.
I'd checked back a couple of times in the wks after and I was still banned. I just now checked and it looks like I'm good to go again.

 

Now that I've figured it out, the synonym ones look like good money makers. The bonus structure is awesome, I've gotten at least 40 cent bonuses on all 8 of the ones that I've done. Wondering how long it takes to pay though, as most of the HITs themselves have been approved, but the bonus hasn't gone through.

EDIT: And JUST as I post that, I get an email informing me that my first bonus has been paid... this things could be a goldmine for bonuses. There are still almost 200 of them left

 

Thanks for the link! These approve superfast!

 

Yep and I've now had over $4 worth of bonuses approved. Awesome requester.

 

These make my brain hurt. I feel like I'm taking way too long redoing the sentences. Which irks me because I'm quite fluent in English and fairly good with finding different ways to say the same thing as well. So.. I don't like these lol Maybe I'm just too tired. I got a lovely wake-up call at 4:30 this morning by the police pounding on my door because they were looking for the drug dealing miscreant who lives upstairs. Apparently the BIG BLACK FOUR above my door didn't clue them into the fact that I do not live in apartment 3.

 

These instructions are dizzying

 

Yes it's difficult at first to figure out how they're supposed to be done, but once you do these are prime. I'm banking right now. I did about 20 of the sentence rewrites pretty quickly, so that's $1.00. Then I moved on to the synonym choosing hits... I've done around 25 of those so far I believe, so that's $1.25 and about $8.00-$9.00 worth of bonuses

 

Is anyone else finding the synonym ones weirdly difficult?

 

Not particularly. The first few I struggled with, but once I figured out how to do it they're pretty simple.

 

Is there a trick you figured out?
It won't let me submit any of them, no matter how unique I try to get it.

 

any tips? I don't seem to be getting it.

 

Glad I'm not the only one!
