How Points Work
Every test, EASE session, and practice run earns points. Here's exactly how — and what the points do for you.
🎯 The short version
Points are an engagement signal, not money. They never go down, and they can't be spent on anything — there's no shop, no paid hints, no retry tokens. What they unlock is your level, your tier, and your spot on the leaderboard.
Every level needs more XP than the last (1 point = 1 XP). Every 5–15 levels you climb a tier — Apprentice → Scholar → Mentor → Master → Cambridge Fellow.
📘 Chapter Tests — formal mastery
One-off earn when your attempt is scored.
| What | Points |
|---|---|
| Base — for finishing the test | +50 |
| Score bonus — half a point per % you got right (so 80% = +40) | up to +50 |
| First time you scored this test | +25 |
| Perfect score (100%) | +50 |
Typical: 100–175 points per chapter test.
📈 EASE Growth — adaptive sessions
3 windows a year × 3 subjects (Math / English / Science). The harder you push, the more the engine learns about your level.
| What | Points |
|---|---|
| Base — for finishing the session | +100 |
| You held or grew vs your last window | +25 |
| You grew 5 or more RIT points (strong growth) | +50 |
The two growth bonuses don't stack — strong growth replaces the +25.
⚡ Practice + Daily Challenge
Self-paced runs from /practice and /daily-challenge. No mastery effect — just XP + leaderboard rank.
| What | Practice | Daily Challenge |
|---|---|---|
| Base | +20 | +50 |
| Per correct answer | +5 | +5 |
| Best streak in the run ≥ 3 | +10 | +10 |
| Best streak in the run ≥ 5 (replaces +10) | +20 | +20 |
| Perfect run | +30 | +30 |
| First daily challenge of the day, per subject | — | +25 |
🔥 Daily streak bonuses
Show up any day and earn even one point — your streak counter ticks up. Miss a day and it resets to 1 the next time you earn.
| Milestone | Bonus |
|---|---|
| Day 7 streak | +100 |
| Day 30 streak | +250 |
Each milestone pays once per account — they don't re-pay if you break the streak and rebuild it.
🏅 Levels & tiers
Each level needs more XP than the last. The formula is simple: Level N → N+1 costs 100 + (N−1) × 50 XP. Climbing a tier doesn't unlock anything new — it's a public mark of effort that shows on your dashboard ring and leaderboard chip.
🚫 What points are NOT for
We deliberately don't have these. Helps keep the test results honest.
