    I'm taking the top tier test, and was trying to add some HTML links, and noticed there was no WYSIWIG editor, and also no instructions on how to add links in the article.

    Should I just write the link up in regular HTML code with anchor text and everything?

    Should I do it some other way?

    Should I skip it?

    I'm guessing they aren't going to have WYSIWIG editing, or link writing instructions, for their regular assignments either. So... how do you write links to put in a Crowdsource article?

    I suggest skipping the links. I've never seen them ask for links in the text. They let you know if they want links in the articles and they provide a separate section for the links.

    I just finished writing a list with links. There were boxes for the introduction, heading, link, description, and conclusion. For some other article types, they ask for a source at the bottom, separate from the body of the article.

    Glitter, thank you.

    How long does it usually take for them to approve the test?

    You're welcome!

    In my case, I submitted my test on 10/16 and I got an email on 10/18 saying that I passed the first editor check and received a bonus.

    It wasn't explicitly stated that I earned the Top Tier qual until a generic qualification email from Amazon on 10/25. That same day, I got a longer letter from CrowdSource explaining the Top Tier qual.

    They're usually pretty good about quick approvals, though. I submitted six articles between yesterday and today. One was already paid, two are approved with payment pending, and the last three are pending approval. Of course, I just finished one of those articles five minutes ago, and I don't think even CS is that quick. :)
