Project organiser – Doctor Web.
Participant is a natural person registered as a participant in the project.
Test is a set of questions on a certain topic and answers to the questions. If a participant successfully passes a test, they are awarded a number of points.
Points are awarded for passing tests, as well as upon registration in the project.
WebIQ is a personal score showing how successfully the participant passes tests and indicating the level of their Internet competence.
Dr.Webling is a virtual prize which Doctor Web awards a participant for their contribution to the project ('useful activities').
Useful actions — any project activity in which participants are engaged and for which they are awarded Dr.Weblings.
Auction is a contest, in which participants compete to win artefacts.
Artefact is a trophy,acquired in an auction in exchange for points and Dr.Weblings. Each artefact has its own equivalent in Dr.Weblings and/or points. Electronic Dr.Web licenses, free gifts from Doctor Web and products from other manufacturers can serve as artefacts.
Rating indicates how much one participates in the project, their rank among participants. A rating number is the sum of WebIQ points and the quantity of Dr.Weblings.

Access to the tests and participant account is only available to registered participants.
E-mail addresses of registered participants are entered into the project participants database. By registering in the project participants agree that the project organizer will send news about the project, notification of acquisition of points and awards, useful tips on tests and other information related to the project at their respective email addresses specified during registration.

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.
