I usually have to find the qual button by searching for that task in the AMT "All Hits" screen.

I wish you luck with the qual - I have like zero percent success trying to get a qual where I have to use the qual button to request it. I have a higher rate when quals are posted as HITs and then you catch and work them and if done satisfactory, the requester will issue you the qual.
Thanks, I just requested 4 of them so I will see how it goes. I didn't know that they are rare to get through the buttons. I don't have much experience using them. :(

A lot of new turkers don't even know what PRE means anymore.

Or don't understand that if you have 80 pandas in pandacrazy it
checks each one less than once a minute and will only grab stuff no one else is even trying to get.

Ok, you know how when you are running hit watchers that the more you run the slower it works? What if I was to open up two hit catchers at the same time ? Would the hit watchers slow down still if I had them spread across 2 or more hit catcher windows? Maybe I will just try it and report back :)

EDIT: Doesn't work apparently. Just adds the hit watchers to both catchers.
i try not to have more than 3 active watchers in hit catcher or panda crazy at once.

How long until round 2 of VRAPI ususally?
Like about 1 to 1.5 weeks after the first round... I think the first round qual is going to stay up until the 14th or 15th, and then they'll post the next round within a week.

In the past, it was almost exactly 3 weeks from the time the first-round qual HIT was posted until you find out your results from the second-round.

EDIT: Read through old VRAPI emails and revised info.

Next to the time there's a black (+) button that gives you a dropdown of the hit and its details and the qual test to take if there's one up
Are you talking about HF or HS? My HF doesn't have a time or a plus button, unless there is a setting I need to set. I still need to read a manual for this thing. argh.
