I'm not sure that this is something that you need to do instead of reading and listening. If you can even manage one or two a day, or every other day, that would be a big help. In my experience, it takes maybe 10 minutes max to check and respond to one test, and that's only if there are several issues with it. I've been trying to grab a handful of them whenever I have some down time in front of my computer.

I read once (about losing weight) that if you really want to do it (and ready to do it), you shouldn't go around telling everybody that you're doing it, even less that you're going to do it or that you're about to start doing it. Just follow the chosen regimen, diet, whatever. People will notice when there is something to notice, and you can talk about it when they ask you. <hint-hint>

That is true, so maybe not entirely stopping reading and listening, but do a little less in order to find time for welcoming and listening to 1 minute testsmightyfelix wrote: ↑February 13th, 2019, 5:11 pm I'm not sure that this is something that you need to do instead of reading and listening.

That's wonderful news. Maybe not stop reading, that would be a pity, but taking one or two and address them. I just saw a couple of tests in the new posts and know that I can't do them properly until maybe in the late evening, so I am happy about everybody who helps out
Personally, I've never felt technically qualified to approve 1 min tests, or to talk newbies through troubleshooting their recording. The one time I tried to explain to someone about amplification I was told I didn't make any sense, so it's all for the best I think. It's not the listening to the tests that's hard, I don't think, it's explaining to someone new how to fix their test so that it passes.
I'll stick to what I know I can do and let the tech-y people do the 1 min tests.
