We all seem to get these repeats, no matter how long we have been doing this. Sometimes we get 30 repeat tasks in a row. Sometimes they are mixed with new tasks. Sometimes we get just a few for several days in a row. While many people have made guesses as to why we get them, they are only guesses. At least now you know it isn't only happening to you.

Great post tombrater! No one should worry or be alarmed at these, after a handful of times you'll know exactly what they are. We can only speculate as to why we get these but they must serve some point so just stay as consistent as you can and you'll be fine

Thanks for stopping by WFHW! In this corner of the internet you will quickly learn new ways to make money from home and maybe... just maybe, you will make some great friends in the process!

I just finished a set of these, and I would like to caution new raters about one thing. The landing pages are live pages for most of the repeats, and they change over time. You could get a completely different landing page, or it could fail to load this time. So remembering what you put last time and just putting that again without looking at it might not be a good plan. I always do the repeats from start to finish, and if I notice a change I write an explanation, in case they are expecting the same answer I put six months ago.

It's a little late now, but ABH has just admitted in an email to employees that the repeats, which were the same ones we did working for ZC, were the "blind" test items. So yes, they were testing you.

Edit: But that is supposed to change now.
