hadimahmood763 Posted May 23, 2020 Share Posted May 23, 2020 If English is my first language and I can speak it fluently, can I still do the test? Or is it for people who don’t have English as a first language? 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jake_hopkins Posted May 23, 2020 Share Posted May 23, 2020 Anyone can do it. It’s just about proving that you can speak it fluently. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
english_voice Posted May 23, 2020 Share Posted May 23, 2020 Yes, it’s for anyone. I think of it as a badge of trust.It’s a demonstration that should someone deal with you on Fiverr then communication will not be a problem. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
catwriter Posted May 23, 2020 Share Posted May 23, 2020 In addition to what others have said, I think that the test is also there so that those who can’t pass it can’t create writing gigs. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not asking you, just really wondering why this is 😂 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

visualstudios Posted May 23, 2020 Share Posted May 23, 2020 All tests on Fiverr are pointless. It’s trivial to get a high score on any of them if you really want, so that means nothing. In addition, they are not well constructed, they have outdated or wrong information on them, and on top of that buyers don’t care. Waste of time. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What, you want me to prove my credentials and apply to your $5 job with samples? When I can just set up my gigs and sit back and wait for clients to have to prove themselves to me instead? Sure, sure. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sure, sure.Buyer request buyers are not buyers.They do buy, so they are buyers.You wouldn’t work with a buyer like that, and I wouldn’t work with many of them, either, but they do buy, and there are sellers willing to work with them. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The point is that buyers who post buyer requests demanding stuff like a score on a bogus test are not to be trusted, immediate red flag. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe. Just maybe.Maybe i’m being too harsh, granted - but I’ve seen a lot of buyer requests that demand the world. It doesn’t even have to do with price, necessarily. But when I see a buyer demanding proof of everything, specially in a certain tone, it’s a red flag. They think they’re better than me. “You better be X, Y, Z, I need samples, perfect scores on tests, etc.” They are assuming that sellers replying to their buyer requests are idiots, pretty much.

I might post a screenshot somewhere, so we can all laugh at that nonsense.I didn’t mean requests that are full of red flags, I meant those that have one thing that might be a red flag, but could also be lack of experience. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As a buyer why would I ever give preference to unlimited revisions? Sounds like a great experience, having to go back and forth 20 times to get it right lol. My time is valueless, and I love spending it dealing with meksells! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I used to venture into BR when I was BORED and just for giggles, nothing more.I was doing this :point_down:t4: the whole time I was there.It just amazes me how people are expecting Million 💸 Dollar results for $5-$10 bucks. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To me it’s just common sense that it isn’t.Why don’t people see how unattractive that is to ethical buyers? It’s not rocket science.And obviously it Attracts scammers and unscrupulous buyers. And obviously having that in a contract means you have to do it… 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
