Redacted Name - Prolific Researcher Reviews

Their platform asked me to designate a job title. I chose none, and it told me I did not have to fill out the study and I should hit submit. So I did, instead of going to return it like I should have, and Prolific automatically rejected it instead of screening me out as I thought would happen. I'm contesting it, but that's annoying.

Easy quick study with a very good pay rate. I've done another one for them before and it approved quickly and was also well paid.

At first it was quite confusing, but after reading carefully it was a piece of cake and gave quick juicy bucks. It was intended to be 16 minutes, but due to some initial confusion, it was moreless 20ish minutes for me.

Fast approval.

I had to come back to review them again, because I just got done doing FOURTEEN of their multiple submissions allowed studies and oh my. I don't know if they took feedback or what, but these took around 10 minutes each (usually right about that or a little under for me, and I didn't rush, but I also didn't read through the beginning stuff unless I needed the context) and paid $8 EACH. Only one of them took me like 23 minutes, but it was an outlier. This more than makes up for the past instances with some of these studies taking way too long for the pay, in my eyes. Also, I very much prefer this format of one assignment each time with multiple submissions allowed, as opposed to the old single "1-hour" or so batch of a bunch of them where you never know when it is going to end.

Aside from my IQ lowering from reading the nonsense typed by these "users", I didn't think this was that bad. It's a lot of reading, but if you know how to discern differences in the text, it shouldn't take anywhere near the recommended time. Knocking 1 star because it still feels underpaid, and there's no way to tell how much progress you're making all throughout it.

This took way longer than the estimated completion time listed, and it does not tell you how many tasks you have to do, so it's really hard to delegate how much time I should be taking in each one when some tasks are insanely long and some are extremely short and quick. This is my first time doing these tasks with R. S. I thought the first was the only one I had to do because it took insanely long and took a great amount of time to read through. But there kept being more and more tasks, and I felt like I did anywhere from 10-20 of them. (And the estimated completion time was 1hr, I felt like I took closer to triple of that.) I did get the hang of it and I did figure out what to look out for so that I didn't have to read the entire thing if I received a longer task, but I felt a bit careless doing so, but if I did not I would taking way longer just reading through everything. I really wish there was clearer instructions and that it told me how many I need to do...

This one ended up only taking me a little over an hour because I stopped reading the beginning stuff, but I definitely feel like I need to rush a little to do these in the intended time

It took me about 1 hour and 23 minutes when it estimated 1 hour. I suppose I was not meant to read everything or something. I was just waiting for it to end after an hour had already gone by. But it paid very well still.

Spent over 30 minutes reading the extensive instructions and completed the evaluation only for there to be a technical issue at the end.
