I mean keep track of how long it takes. I know a lot of them have a minimum and some have a maximum. I've been disqualified dozens of times for going to fast. I mean, when I enter all my normal info like age, sex, income, job, rent, etc... I can click and hit an arrow in one second. But I realize they see that is too fast... When I'm just used to the generic questions and can go through them fast. Maybe I should start waiting like 5 seconds before clicking...

I do keep it in mind how long the survey site claims the survey is going to take and about how long it really takes.
Thursday, I was on another site and there was a survey that was supposed to take 4 minutes and paid 29 cents. I knew that I had to leave in 20 minutes so I tried it. I gave it 25 minutes and then was forced to give up because I had to go to work. When I came home from work, I was able to go into my history and access the survey and finish it but it took at least 5 more minutes.
So, this was a survey that claimed to be 4 minutes long paying 29 cents. It took me at least a half hour for the 29 cents. The one saving grace is that it was about politics and the upcoming presidential election. It was interesting.
If a survey says that it is going to take about 15 minutes, be certain that it takes you a minimum of 16 minutes or longer. Otherwise your payment might get revoked for going too fast. Other times, the computer might throw out your survey for going too fast and there will not even be a record of your ever taking the survey. You should always time yourself to make certain that you do not finish too fast or too slow.

I time mine too just to see how accurate their prediction is, which is rarely, but I do normally get credited for the ones I qualify for
-
Not really. Most of them never take as long as they say they will.
-
Yes, and most seem to take longer than what they say. Or click on one that says 4 minutes and followed by a screen that says it will take approximately 25 minutes.
-
I usually only pay close attention if it's one that says you must take at least a certain amount of time to complete.
-
I do not time them, but do pay attention to the directions when they indicate that finishing to quickly will disqualify you; there have been some that said for example 15 mininutes and it seems that they just went on and on, I have just ended them myself if I got tried and there seemed to be no end in sight and I know they have gone way beyond the time indicated for the most part when I can qualify I try and stick it out to the end.
-
No, I dont time my survey, I trust the estimated time given in my list, If I feel that it's too long , I just quit
-
I don't time them, but I look at an estimate. I also quit the survey if I feel it's taking too long. Especially those surveys that ask a whole set for questions for each brand, and there are 10+ brands to go through.
-
I'm afraid if I timed them I would end up quitting, so I just put my brain in neutral regarding the stuff that doesn't matter and only concentrate on answering truthfully.
-
i go slow too. if u hurry thru the survey it kicks u out. i've learned the hard way to go slow, even if you are a fast reader and good with computers give each page a couple of seconds.
-
I time the so called real short ones. The ones between 1 and 5 minutes. Those time frames are never the case though. It usually takes about 15 to 20 minutes to complete them. :bad:
-
I have a habit of keeping track of mine. I too hate the ones you click on that say 6 minutes and take 15-20. Your Surveys is the worst for that especially if you get DQ'd from initial and they offer you another for same payout. With them, I usually try to hit the high paying ones even if their time is high as well (25-35 min). I have been DQ'd before and took another that was shorter for same high payout.
I tend to be pretty quick with surveys and have had to force myself to slow down. I usually take a quick break in surveys that I want to complete more slowly. I'm high strung and can read and make decisions quickly and survey companies don't seem to like that lol
-
I have I have gotten cheated too many times.
-
Most surveys should not take you that long to complete them. Most survey take about 10 to 15 mins to complete. Others can take 20 to 30 mins to complete.
-
It took me a very long time to answer some of the questions because it sometimes made me confuse and i want my answers to be exact and right. Yah, it is proper i think that you should take time on answering some surveys because its worth.
-
I don't really time the surveys -- I do take notice of the time listed in he advertisements -- some times I will choose the ones that are shorter in length when I am in a hurry and need to have more to meet my quota for the day --- there are time when I think I have answered the last question only to have several more to come up --- the real long ones are sometimes hard to finish because of the length and my busy schedule. Not complaining just stating a fact -- I love doing the surveys.
-
I try not to notice the time, or i will begin to hurry through the survey. I have to be in a certain state of mind to do a survey or i will try and hurry through it.
:glasses-nerdy:
-
I make sure I am taking my time with answering the questions -- I have not however been tracking the time -- but I have been getting a lot of kick out - so in the future I will make sure to not rush -and see if that will help -- thanks for the advice
-
Just do your best the answering the survey and at normal pace, if you timing yourself will make life more stressful
-
I will never be disqualified for going too fast. I was always the last person in the room when taking a test in school. I guess I'm just slow, maybe too thorough. I find it interesting in this thread that some say they never take as long as stated, and some say they always take longer. I am always happy when I find one that actually meets the stated amount of time. Sometimes I'm in a hurry and don't have the extra minutes to spare to complete a survey running overtime. I've rarely been able to go back to one later and get it completed.
-
It's easiest to never go too fast if you just take 2 surveys at a time. Obviously you'll be needing to use different companies and routers too. But I usually take 2-3 surveys at a time with different companies. That way the time is always accurate because I am fast.
-
yes I time my surveys to see how long it is
-
I dont time them. Some take longer than others to do. I have had problems though on a few that there is a time limit that I was unware of, and I dont do it in the time frame.
-
No I don't keep track of my surveys.
-
I definitely hate to spend a lot of time on surveys then when I get to the end it says I do not qualify.
-
I just had that this morning, the survey said 0.50 cents for 7 minutes and it took me 30, I usually try to go for short surveys because I have to work, but it is frustrating when they tell you a time and take too long.
-
I really don't do them
-
No I never timed my surveys but can say that some seem longer than I would like to spend, then to find out I am disqualified.
-
I don't time the surveys but I take my time to do the surveys accurate.
-
I time my surveys.They seem to be getting longer all the time.Typically it takes me at least twice the stated time to complete a survey.If they get any longer,they won't be worth doing anymore.
-
I do not always have time for a survey. I usually just do the ones they email me.
-
I try to be aware of an approximate time. As mentioned above everyone works at different rates.
-
I have because I have been ripped off too many times. A lot do not pay enough but I do them anyways
-
I dont time myself.. I find that some don't take as long as they say; however, some are longer than what they say. For the really long ones my computer freezes so I can't finish them, but for some I did time and I was at 25 min when it froze
-
I don't think anybody has the answer to that. I think they have a mind of there own sometimes. lol
-
Sometimes I time the surveys.
-
I dont time my surveys but I have kinda gave up on surveys lately... to much effort and then DQ or credits not appearing makes me a sad panda
-
sometimes I time my surveys, I get uppset when they are long and I get to the end to not qualify.
-
I haven't in the past but I have noticed that the surveys are taking much longer than originally quoted.
-
I have noticed most surveys take longer than time advertised. They "advertise" and recruit people to take the surveys by stating a shorter estimated time.
-
Survey's don't seem to take that long, unless you get disqualified.
