How competitions based on test results work?

This provides clarity on how our platform conducts competitions based on test and quiz results. Understanding the mechanisms of these competitions will enhance your strategy and performance.
Core Principles
Competitions are centered on the correct answers provided within the competition’s timeframe. However, the calculation of scores differs between tests and quizzes to accurately capture the essence of each type, as well as their contribution to overall competition results.
Tests: Continuous Improvement
Multiple Attempts Allowed: Participants can take the same test multiple times during the competition.
Score Calculation: The highest number of correct answers from all attempts by each user is recorded. This reflects the best individual effort and learning progression.
Purpose: Designed to support iterative learning and mastery, encouraging users to build upon previous knowledge and skills.
Quizzes: Comprehensive Understanding
Cumulative Performance: Quizzes can only be repeated on different days, therefore the competition considers the total number of correct answers from all attempts.
Score Calculation: Every correct answer from each attempt is added to create a cumulative score that contributes to the competition outcome.
Purpose: Aims to measure overall knowledge breadth and consistent performance across attempts.
Combined Competitions
In competitions that incorporate both tests and quizzes:
Tests’ Contribution: Only the maximum correct answers from one test attempt are considered.
Quizzes’ Contribution: The total correct answers from all quiz attempts are summed up.
Objective: This blended approach ensures fairness by capturing the strengths of both formats—rewarding deep learning and consistent performance.
Why This Approach?
Tests’ Specialty: Reflects growth and peak achievement through multiple trials.
Quizzes’ Specialty: Captures comprehensive and reliable knowledge representation.
With these scoring methodologies, our platform offers a balanced and fair competition structure, highlighting different skills and learning styles.
