Tests and points
- Participants are offered to pass tests.
- There may be several correct choices to answer each question.
- If there is only one correct answer to the question and the participant chooses it, they gain 1 point for each correct answer, if the test is passed.
- If there are several correct answers to the question, the participant is given 0.5 points for each correct answer, if the test is passed.
Test statuses and point accrual
- New - the participant has not passed the test yet.
- Passed - the participant gave all possible correct answers to all questions. Points are awarded for a passed test. Points are awarded only upon the first successful completion of a test, ie, the participant may take a passed test again any number of times (to make sure they remember everything well), but they will not be granted points again and again.
- Failed - the participant did not give a single correct answer to test questions. A participant can try to pass a failed test again, but no earlier than after 7 days.
- Partially passed – the participant gave a correct answer to at least one test question. No points are awarded for partially passed tests. A participant can pass such a test again.
- Unfinished – the test session has been started, but the test is not completed (interrupted). A participant can pass such a test again.
WebIQ calculation
- A participant's WebIQ depends on the number of passed tests and the total number of tests in the project.
- A participant's WebIQ is not a static measure and may change through time. WebIQ is calculated as follows: WebIQ = X / T * 100 where X is the number of passed tests, T - total number of tests .
Examples
Period Calculation parameters WebIQ calculation March, 2012 10 tests passed, 100 tests available 10/100×100=5 April, 2012 50 tests passed, 100 tests available 50/100×100=50 May 2012 50 tests passed, 140 tests in the system 50/140×100=35,7 June 2012 90 tests passed, 140 tests in the system 90/140×100=64,2
- To increase your WebIQ, pass new tests and improve results for those you have failed or didn't manage to complete.
Types of points
- Starting points are awarded to a participant upon registration in the project (20 points) and upon a successful completion of the first 10 tests. Starting points are not taken into account in the participant's rating. Once a participant has 10 passed tests, their starting points become active.
- Active points are accrued points, which a participant can spend in auctions. Active points also affect the participant's rating.
- Inactive points are accrued points a participant has spent in auctions. These points also affect the participant's rating.
Dr.Weblings
- These are awarded to a participant by Doctor Web as a gratitude for useful activity in the project.
