Why does this happen- I have a current rating of 1612 in combinatorics.... recently i solved 2 problems of ratings 1725 and 1589 in combinatorics.... but my rating did not increase at all....please help as to why this is happening. OF course, i too want my rating to increase.... @ brilliant staff

I see that one day ago, your rating was 1530, and it is now 1610 after you answered those 3 questions correctly. Answering the question with rating of 1725 provided the greatest boost to your ratings.

Yes, but today I answered a question with rating 1726 and also another with approx rating `1580.... why didnt it increase???? @Calvin Lin

From what I can see, your ratings did increase each time that you answered the question correctly. The easy questions increased your ratings by 3 and 5 respectively.

Nope....not at all.... the 1725 question I solved today did not increase my rating! So didn't the 1580 question...Log in to reply
The second question that you answered increased your rating from 1604 to 1607.
The third question that you answered increased your rating from 1607 to 1612.
If you are referring to the "congrats your rating increased to XXX", then it only shows your current rating. This might explain why you think that only the first question increased your rating.

OK. But why did my ratings increase only by such small amounts in the second and third cases? Those two questions were of a rating greater than my rating...so naturally my rating should have increased by 20-25 pts and not by 4-6 ptsLog in to reply
Please provide further information, like the date (timeframe) that is involved, the question title (a link would be appreciated), if you answered the question correctly or wrongly, and the change in rating that you experienced. Please be as specific as you can, as that helps me trace down the issue.

@Calvin Lin - i had also solved two level 2 problems y'day. that perhaps increased my ratings by 2's or 3's. what about the level 3 problems I solved today? please grant justice :P both the questions were solved today....the questions titles are- "how many even integers" and " gabriel's odd integers"/// please check and revert back. thanks... i am sure my rating did not increase absolutely for these 2 questions
https://brilliant.org/mathematics-problem/how-many-even-integers/?group=PdKgUpayNBd1- this is the 1725 question i solved today... and the other is https://brilliant.org/mathematics-problem/gabriels-odd-numbers/?group=QwrhoKKYLrCu- the 1580 question././//////////////////////////////////////////////////////////// AH! there's where you go wrongLog in to reply

@Kushagra Sahni
could you post a solution to your polynomial question- "KUSHAGRA'S POLYNOMIAL" please?Yours Sincerely,

@Kushagra Sahni As you solve problems, your ratings and level will increase. You can also choose to view "Level 4 problems" in combinatorics, by going to the tag #Combinatorics, and select "Near Level 4: Harder".
We no longer have a "level test", and there was no way to retake it.
I answered only 1 question that day., That gave me a boost of 80 pts but that doesnt give any reason for my rating not increasing today...please elaborate @Calvin Lin
@Calvin Lin - Would you please explain us how exactly ratings work?
