Just failed second part of map analyst exam for lionbridge. Thoroughly studied material and used it to justify every answer I gave, I really now know this was a waste of time because no human actually reads them. I don’t think I could have done any better and feel disadvantaged that the questions were all American based, Should I apply for different role at another company? I really like doing the map queries, but I am obviously not good enough at them.

Hi @Jgardener
Sorry to hear you failed the exam. It happens, onward and upwards etc.

If it's Web Search Evaluator work you are after then yeah feel free to apply with either Appen / Lionbridge or Leapforce

Thanks for your reply. I have been looking at leapforce but it seems you need a degree, is the correct

In all honestly you don't HAVE to have one. I know people who work for Leapforce doing WSE work without one ;)

Thanks, I’ll look into it. I really enjoyed the idea of the maps project, does leapforce have this available, and would the exam be the same as lionbridge

Also do you think internet assessor exam is easier than map analyst exam, I found some of the questions a bit ambiguous, without the exact answers in the study material

Not sure I'm afraid my days of working for these companies are well behind me but be warned. All WSE projects also have a 3 part exam with a LOT of revision required (or at least having the guidelines open next to you while you take the exams!)

For the map project, the exam is the same. But I'm not sure about the pay. So far I think communication part lionbridge done pretty well. When I ask question they normally back to me within 24 h.

I don't know if you still will enjoy when you see the pay rate...... So, may be not that bad........ I'm doing a lot this week only because they have some bonus this week, otherwise I might just keep it minimal.

As I have this project, I have to make some time to do so they don't through me out. But truly I have to comes back to the guideline often to refresh it. they have Q&A could ask any question if you are not sure how to rate. Guideline have revision every two month around.

However, on my first feedback, some of the rate I was right and they actually have the wrong answer....

I'm not sure how leapforce will goes as they are taken by appen.....
And I'm so busy with all the work at the moment I have to choose.

@Jgardener I also failed the Map Analyst Exam. I was sick with flu and didn't quite 'get' it anyway but it seemed very arbitrary.

I've put in applications with the other companies now, see what happens.

I believe the in UK, they have high demand for the Map project. Because they have more pay to ask to rate more, so if you do apply for the map project, they most will ask to do the exam.

Part 2 Exam you must be attention to the detail, there are quite amount of is misspelled name and one single wrong number. Use official website, but if it is not possible, use google map. Google map have most of the answer right.

I have been waiting for leapforce to review my application for weeks. Do they just ignore people who are unsuccessful or do they email you to let you know? The last I heard from them was to agree to terms. Nothing since. Never heard anything back from Appen when I applied. Getting worried now as the Uni holidays are drawing closer and I'm going to really struggle with childcare if I need to find work.

I think this is very much leapforce style.......I still don't understand if they have enough people why still ask me for exam and when I pass they tell me they are not going to process. So they are pretty much like that.....

Well I got fed up of waiting for Leapforce, still says I have done everything I need to do and they will be in touch.
Applied for Lionbridge Monday evening for the PersonalizedSocial Media Assessor, got the agreements Tuesday, today I have just received my exam info. Not looking forward to the exam after reading comments on here as is sounds very difficult! That starts next Wednesday..

So I’ve given up on ever hearing back from Leapforce. I was thinking about trying Appen first as the Lionbridge comments are scaring me :p Are people recieving regular work from Appen?
