You need fifty posts to take the organizers quiz

So I guess the delay is justified. So I would say wait for a month more and you will surely get a result. But, have you tried PMing one of the committee members regarding this?

Quizzes should be taken care of in the order that they're submitted. Someone who submitted in May shouldn't be graded before someone who submitted in April. The only reason I could see priority given is if it's a region or country that has no other active organizers.

Get more graders and/or help the graders with better structuring their time. I personally find committing X amount of hours to something is better than trying to complete Y amount of things, as I am far more eager to work in something that I know will only take a certain amount of time and no more. The Pomodoro Technique alone can work wonders.

If the quizzes take too long to grade, see if there's a way you can simplify the process. How much of the quiz grading could be automated? If you give feedback on answers, how much of that feedback can be automatically generated and/or make use of canned responses? (The graders could put together a doc of canned responses (pre-written feedback) that they can copy&paste, making minor adjustments as needed, to speed up the process.)

Could you break up the quiz into multiple smaller quizzes, would that help? If anything, it's not worth grading one big quiz for someone who is so far off from being ready, and perhaps being able to turn down such people sooner would save time, especially if manual feedback is part of the process. (But I'm not sure if that's a time sink that's faced or not.)

I understand I may be way off the mark with much of what I'm saying here, as I have not tried to take the quiz myself nor do I have any knowledge on how the grading process works beyond the mentions in this thread. But these are all techniques I have done (in one form or another) to speed up completion of things, from work to what volunteer "grading" I used to do, and I hope something in these words is helpful.

Just prioritise the responsibility given to you or give it to someone who has time and willing to dedicate that to help the community...

I agree with having a high priority, but I disagree with the level you've put forth. I think it's fair not to force someone to do them each time they log in and then be on constant lookout. I personally think that's too excessive and even unreasonable to ask, making for a ball of stress. I've hated situations where I've been paid to do similar, and these guys aren't even getting paid.

It is more fair and efficient to someone's time to check at certain times rather than constantly, which also allows them to do multiple in one sitting.

We all have lives and I would rather be graded by someone (for anything) who is fresh and ready, their head in the right place. Depending on how many submissions come in, 1-2 days a week that are set to work on them, or an hour or two multiple days a week, might do it. Every person is a little different, but some sort of process should be worked out that fits.

We don't know the reason behind these big delays. Maybe it's a flaw in the system. Maybe there are submissions that really waste the graders' time. Personally, I find that lack of structure makes it easier for me to put things off and not do them, mismanaging my time to have none. Likely, there's some combination of things going on, but I'm not knowledgeable about the whole thing to really know.

Whatever works for each grader, I'd say. Some people work on the weekends. Some people might find it easier to put in time MWF so they can chill on the weekend. As long as it's getting done, the exact day doesn't matter, I feel.

However, the graders and committee are in a better position to identify what's causing the holdup. Might just be that grading is really slow (need ways to make grading easier) or the graders have more than just grading to do (help graders focus on grading). Might be multiple different things. I'm just making guesses and hoping something helps.

That was just a suggestion because usually, weekends are when people decide to take some time out to do things...

Some people even keep weekends to chill out and relax after the hectic week. So yeah, I agree to Frostic Fox that the days should be the grader's choice.
