MissVixen Looks like you won't be getting a reply soon. Haha. Try the "join us" in webnovel.com and see if they will reply. It's a 9-day vacation which started like 9 at the start of October, so it might take long.

yo! MissVixen ! it seems you're not the only one who is trying for the editor's job!! haha! nice to know that i'm not alone.... damn! i thought that the high authorities if QI are avoiding me when i didn't get the notice... haha!!! thnks frnd!

JunkieOverThe_Moon 10-15 are checked weekly, so it might take a 2-3 weeks at most before your test gets checked if you submitted today. That's just how many are taking the tests, though I can dare to say that at least 20-30 percent are just trolls.

Chrissy hey, approx. how many editors or translators are there in QI total??? just asking. cause you told that at least 10-15 tests are checked weekly, then there are at least 10-15 people who are applying for it... deducting 20-30%, there is still 8-12 people who are actually giving the test... then by now, there should be millions[though i don't think there are a million translator or editors]... thats why im asking...
anyway, is the test hard or easy? do you have any idea????

JunkieOverThe_Moon
The fact that people are applying seriously does not mean that all of them pass. Only a small fraction actually do.
Besides that, it's hard to say how many of us there actually are, since not all of us interact internally. Most just do their job and never say a word outside, so I'm pretty sure I don't know even half of the editors working for QI.

JunkieOverThe_Moon Depends how good your English is, lol. For me, it took quite awhile. and I've had a headache for an even longer time after it, feeling like my brain was fried during the process. On the other hand, some others did it in a few hours and were left fine.
As to my score, I don't know what it was, just that I passed. Some time after I filled it, I received a friend invite from QI staff, and we discussed how much free time I have (how much I plan to work), what kind of novels I'm fine with, and the contract itself.

JunkieOverThe_Moon That depends on your skills and your mastery of grammar. I didn't think it was too hard, just time consuming. Someone else may think "wft do they want from me?"

It's not too bad. You'll just have to consider these two main points:
Punctuation and capitalization: What's missing? What needs to be capitalized? For example, Suddenly a car’s door was pushed Opened as Several Policemen came out of it.
Grammar and Flow issues: Yes, the sentence makes sense, but does it sound right? Are the words used correctly? E.g.:As such it was definitely the time when everyone was truly felt sleepy.

Throw all three together:
It looked like Ai Fei suspected that Garen liked her and that was why he always protected her, so she didn’t allow him to send her home. it wasn’t simply not letting others know her home address; it was also turning down to his pursue.

Of course, we also have the liberty to say: Hey boss. My translator sucks. I can't understand what they're saying, and 90% of my time is spent chatting with my translator about what these sentences mean. This is especially true when you run into a sentence like this:
As for Billy Bob, which was 16 year old boy, understand Seattle living conditions. Ten years, Billy Bob has not been in many places, not to mention five years, his only other people contacts, he was bandit attack.

Most importantly is, though, the ability to make sense what you're given and make it understandable (without inducing a headache). A decent spell-checker will help with some punctuation and find misspelled words division vs divison.

hey Nou when is the vacation of the higher ups gonna end??? i'm really sorry to bother you and all others, but i'm scared and nervous over here! so please!!!

Nou As for Billy Bob, which was 16 year old boy, understand Seattle living conditions. Ten years, Billy Bob has not been in many places, not to mention five years, his only other people contacts, he was bandit attack.

This one looks like the test I edit.

Sadly, I failed the test. Hahaha.

JunkieOverThe_Moon In about 3 ~ 4 day's time.

JunkieOverThe_Moon Among 15 people, it'll be lucky to get one who passed among editors. So say there's actually more than 320 something applicants since Feb/March, then less than 30 passed, and not even all of them joined/stayed.

Chrissy TheLonerLion damn you guys! you all are making it seem as if the tests are hella hard!!!! curse you!!!

JunkieOverThe_Moon go for it

JunkieOverThe_Moon Nah, there's no ranking system. It's all about the score you get. If there is a ranking system, oh I love to do that on those who sucks more than the other.
