How Your Score Works

The math behind your scores. Two systems run in parallel: raw points (the number on the daily results screen) and effective score (the number that drives your Skill Tree and classification).

Section 1

Raw points

Raw points per question = 10 × multiplier
Curious10 pts when correct
Interested20 pts when correct
Informed30 pts when correct
Well-Read50 pts when correct
Scholar10×100 pts when correct
Daily total = (sum of raw points) × 1.2 if all 5 correct
Daily max = (sum of day's multipliers × 10) × 1.2

Section 2

Effective score

Domain effective score = weighted_correct × max(0.5, accuracy)
Curiousweight 1
Interestedweight 2
Informedweight 3
Well-Readweight 4
Scholarweight 5
Pillar effective score = sum of 6 domain effective scores
Overall effective score = sum of 5 pillar effective scores
