Below is an illustration of difficulty levels of different tests held in NSW, Australia
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:
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 (★) | 1 Point | 1 XP (50) |
| 2-Star (★★) | 2 Points | 5 XP (51) |
| 3-Star (★★★) | 3 Points | 25 XP (52) |
| 4-Star (★★★★) | 4 Points | 125 XP (53) |
| 5-Star (★★★★★) | 5 Points | 625 XP (54) |
| 6-Star (★★★★★★) | 6 Points | 3125 XP (55) |
You earn points from Daily Test and Tournaments, and can use them to unlock Mallow characters or redeem Power-Up.
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!
