How It Works

At Mathmallows, we use a system of Points, Experience (XP), and Levels to track your progress and reward your efforts. Here’s how it works:

Points and XP from Questions

Each question you answer correctly in a test contributes to both your Points and your XP. The amount you receive depends on the difficulty of the question, indicated by stars.

Difficulty (Stars) Points Awarded XP Awarded
1-Star (β˜…) 1 Point 1 XP (50)
2-Star (β˜…β˜…) 2 Points 5 XP (51)
3-Star (β˜…β˜…β˜…) 3 Points 25 XP (52)
4-Star (β˜…β˜…β˜…β˜…) 4 Points 125 XP (53)
5-Star (β˜…β˜…β˜…β˜…β˜…) 5 Points 625 XP (54)
6-Star (β˜…β˜…β˜…β˜…β˜…β˜…) 6 Points 3125 XP (55)

How to Use the Points

You earn points from Daily Test and Tournaments, and can use them to unlock Mallow characters or redeem Power-Up.

How Your Level is Calculated

Your total XP from all correctly answered questions is used to determine your level:

level = 100 * ( XP / 50000 ) ^ 0.5 

Keep practicing to earn more Points & XP, and watch your level grow!
