Math Skills Exercise #5 - $100 bonus available! - $3.00

$27.48 / hour

Pros
Great hourly.5 HITs were released and you're allowed to do one of each.
Easy math questions
Chance of a $100 bonus
Only 10 math questions per HIT
Cons
Slim chance of winning the $100 bonus.Math.
An error message forced me to restart #1 repeatedly. I must have filled out the test halfway five times, with varying questions each time, before finally giving up and returning the HIT when the timer almost ran out. Emailing the helpdesk recommended by the error message is useless as they only reply telling you to email the requester via email mturk@pdri.com, which I did as well. I'll update communication after they've had sufficient time to reply.
Update: They replied within a couple of hours and offered to compensate me if I submitted the HIT, which was nice of them but not helpful since I told them I had already returned it. So 50/50 on communication.

Pros
- $25 base pay- Incredibly generous hourly
- Actually kind of fun and interesting. A little bit of a roleplaying type game where you are responding to various office scenarios, reading emails, etc.
Cons
- The voices for some of the videos go from being normal to VERY low, so you have to adjust your volume back and forth - this isn't even a serious criticism just something to be aware of if you're like me working within your office.- The end involves a lot of written feedback, which I didn't have much to say. I would have taken notes throughout had I been aware.

Pros
Interesting two part math-based HIT that can quickly be completed based upon your competency in mathematics. Part 1: is your mTurk Worker ID and some general demographic questions. Part 2: you are presented with a series of 10 math questions.Possibility of $100 bonus being randomly awarded to one worker that scores well on the assessment.
Cons
You have to sign a binding agreement with the United States Office of Personnel Management (OPM). The HIT states "You will be presented with language at the end of each part that reference Federal employment. You can disregard that language." However it's still the Federal Government.
