Did I create, then fail my own review audit?

Questions can be pushed into the Reopen Votes queue either by an edit or a reopen vote. As you said, the only revisions were made by you after you saw the review item, so that couldn't have created ...

Stop, Look, Listen!

You couldn't have known. This was a fake question acting as a bait for spam answers. It looks like you were supposed to review the answer, which was deleted as spam by a moderator. These spammers ...

Please make this salvageable post not be an LQ review audit

It's more or less the same information provided in the other answer to that question... Except without screenshots... And with that spam link. It's the spam link that you should be worried about. It'...

Audit failed for wanting to recommend deletion to an answer that reads like a joke solution

As has already been mentioned several times in all the "failed audit" meta questions mods have no say in what questions go into audits. Technically though, that is an actual valid workable answer to ...

Failed a few tests recently for reasons that fail

I'd guess the pass action on this would be an upvote or No Action Needed review. Exactly. Your first thought would, preferably, been to upvote the high quality and helpful content. Comments should ...

Failed audit trying to report apparent bug in review queue

Don't worry about one or two failed audits. As previous questions and answers have stated, they worked on you - You took a moment to check that the post is actually OK. You're not a robo-reviewer just ...

Failing Review Audit because I added a comment that it was a duplicate post

I then added a comment recommending they search for previous questions and gave them a link to the duplicate question and answers. You should have flagged as a duplicate instead of commenting they ...

Strange audit result

As outlined in the FAQ the criteria for "bad" Close/Reopen audits are questions which are quickly closed with no answers. AFAIK downvotes also play a role. This particular question was downvoted and ...

Why did I fail this review audit?

It could be improved quite a bit. The formatting could be changed to a list. Proper punctuation could be added. Proper capitalization could be added. That's an example of a low-quality answer.

Review audit - dissagreement

While the answer I reviewed was short, it perfectly answered the question. It was a duplicate of an existing answer. It was also deleted more than a month ago for that exact reason by a moderator. ...

Should we look up existing answers when reviewing?

It is certainly best practice. There have been many occasions when I've reviewed, particularly Late Answers, where the post merely duplicates an existing answer. Sometimes an answer from a new user ...

TIL: Answering 10 minutes after a question is asked is "late."

The answer was posted at 16:57, then converted to a comment. Regardless... The point of the Audits are to make sure you're actually reading the questions, and looking for clues. You've done that, so ...
