Apologies if this is going over old ground but I have just received my 4th review and can thus see my ratings for the first time.

As there appears to be some inconsistency between the comments and the scores (although the comments have all been taken on board) I was wondering if there is a way to see the ratings by review. I have read older threads relating to this topic and they suggest that this function should be around by now.

Obviously going forward I can deduce the scores for numbers 5 to 8.

I have also received a review where the reading test was failed (quite how I don't know!). Do I have to wait for another review or can is see the failed one (the more the merrier)?

Many thanks

Those pesky first four reviews like to keep themselves to themselves although you can have a stab at them. Some kind souls on YWO tell you what they've given you to put you out of your misery. I wasn't here at the birth of YWO so I;m not sure of the rationale behind this. As for those failed reading tests- they vaporise and are never seen again.

many thanks - to be honest the comments are the most important but I say that before the competitor instinct kicks in

Four reviews aren't enough to show a general trend. I think 10-15 will give you a better idea of how your work is shaping up.
the long and the short of it

Same way you inserted what looks like a piece of blue paper.

I wouldn't worry about the failed ones. Obviously they haven't read your work well enough to comment anyway.

That's a very sweeping statement.
Surely the first thing to think abt if somebody doesn't understand what you've written is to look & see whether you have made it clear.
It's common practise on here to blame the reader, when it's more than likely to be the writing that is at fault.
As for reading tests, I passed one the other day by luck. The very first question was wrong. None of the 3 alternatives was in the text.

- I've seen this as an answer before, but I've never seen the 'peice of blue paper'... How do I get to see that?

You light it, and then retire.
