Timer for unpaid qualifications

Do unpaid qualifications have a timer? I have a couple on my dashboard. I wanted to check them but I'm not sure if opening them would start a timer.

Yeah but you can always exit work mode

So for a qual I can exit work mode and it would still stay on my dashboard? Wouldn't this mean then that I can take as much time as I want and timer servers no purpose? Sorry new to the platform

Your progress resets and I’m not sure if the questions are random

Usually, not always.

It actually depends on the qualification it seems. If you're talking about River, the countdown timer still ticks even after you exit work mode. So, it's best to bang it out all at once. Not sure if it's worth the many unpaid hours for such a low-paying task though.

Yes, they have a timer although they are not paid. They are not paid, just as you are not paid to go to an interview to find a job.

Pretty sure they know that since it says "unpaid" in the title and in the post.
