Score Calculation

Overview

Basic Rules

  • Your score depends on two things: getting answers right and how fast you answer
  • Getting answers right makes your accuracy score better
  • Answering faster gives you bonus points that make your total score higher
  • We track time very precisely, so even small differences in speed matter
  • While we check timing on both your device and our servers, only the server timing counts
  • We account for network latency on every question - check our Mitigations page to learn more
  • When you pause a quiz, we stop counting time until you resume
  • Question timing starts when the server sends the question and ends when the server receives your answer
