Summary, eligibility guidance and screening preparation are prepared by Sidequest from the platform's posting. Check the source listing before applying.

The work

You draft exam-style multiple-choice questions in Norwegian, drawn from your own academic and professional knowledge rather than from copied source material. Each item needs a clear stem, ten answer options where the distractors are plausible enough to be tempting but defensibly wrong, one unambiguously correct answer, and a worked solution that explains the reasoning a competent person would follow. The intent is to produce questions that a strong language model might actually get wrong — so items that reward surface pattern-matching or that can be answered by recognising a keyword tend to get sent back.

Subject matter is generalist: history, science, civics, literature, geography, everyday reasoning, and Norwegian-specific knowledge are all in scope. Volume expectations and rubrics come from the platform, and reviewers give feedback on early batches before you scale up.

What the screening looks for

Verifiable credentials: a master's or PhD, and 2–6 years of professional experience you can describe concretely.
Education in Norway or current residence there, plus native-level Norwegian — including comfort with formal register and academic vocabulary.
Item-writing judgment: whether you can explain why a distractor is good, and spot ambiguity in your own stems.
Willingness to write from scratch. Plagiarised or lightly-reworded exam questions are the most common disqualifier.

Logistics

Fully remote and asynchronous. Hours are flexible with no fixed shifts; most contributors treat this as part-time alongside other work. Pay is hourly within the observed band above — bands shift by project and are not guaranteed. Expect an onboarding batch that is reviewed before ongoing work is assigned.

Native-level Norwegian (written, formal and academic register)
Master's or PhD in any discipline
2–6 years professional experience
Educated in or currently based in Norway
Exam or assessment item writing experience
Clear written explanation of reasoning and solutions

Interview prep — 11 questions

Matched to what this platform's screening actually measures. Answer each out loud in 60–90 seconds: claim → concrete example → implication.

What it tests: Whether you understand the cognitive load of a multiple-choice question and can deliberately craft plausible wrong answers that test depth, not just recognition.
A strong answer: Name a specific topic, describe the correct answer precisely, then explain 2–3 distractors by the misconception or partial knowledge each targets—showing you've thought about what a test-taker at your target level would actually believe.
Where people lose it: Describing generic 'hard' or 'tricky' distractors without naming the specific conceptual error they embody, or admitting you'd use answers that are obviously wrong just to fill space.
