Friends,does anybody know how "top scorers this week" are determined????? Though i have solved all the problems of geometry set this week,i was not even in 50 th place in top scorers this week.kindly reply me.....
This discussion board is a place to discuss our Daily Challenges and the math and science
related to those challenges. Explanations are more than just a solution — they should
explain the steps and thinking strategies that you used to obtain the solution. Comments
should further the discussion of math and science.
When posting on Brilliant:
Use the emojis to react to an explanation, whether you're congratulating a job well done , or just really confused .
Ask specific questions about the challenge or the steps in somebody's explanation. Well-posed questions can add a lot to the discussion, but posting "I don't understand!" doesn't help anyone.
Try to contribute something new to the discussion, whether it is an extension, generalization or other idea related to the challenge.

If you have solved all(or most) and still your name doesn't feature in the top scorer list, then either you have leveled up or the authorities have taken action against you(post the multiple account controversy).
Yes. The leveling down is a little too fast in the beginning. I took the diagnostic test of Calculus and I was prescribed Calculus. I did one problem right and one wrong and I was leveled down to 3. Let's see if I can make the others correct to get back to 4. And see here, the discussion of "No Leveling Down"
the results are also based on time
for example if you finished all problems on monday your name would appear in the list will go after some days.......
maybe
i have done all sums except last before on monday itself and then finished solving last before sum on friday itself,yet my name didn't appear neither on monday nor friday.....
Its according to the points and the number of problems solved in the current weak.
see , all the names in top scorers list would have more points than you .
i dunno exactly...but this is what happened to me..last week i completed algebra set on monday and i was on top of the list for 3 days or so..this week i'm not able to solve 2 problems each in algebra and geometry and i'm in neither of the list..i solved 3 on 4 physics problem both this and last week and i was in the list throughout the week near 15th place..so maybe solve quickly and you may be on the list or even be upgraded to the next level. Mind this fact : If you are upscaled in the middle of the week, your name will not appear in the list of the topic in which you were upscaled.
wiat how do you u level up?
cause i took diagnostic and got lvl 5 for geometrey which i did on sunday and i didn't feel like doing any questions, so they leveled me down to a level 4. Why?
My records indicate you viewed half of the set, and answered questions wrongly, which triggered the level down. If you left all of the questions unanswered, you would not have been leveled down.

top scorer this week is based on how many question u done,and then your total life.
tight man it happened to me before too
this might help: https://brilliant.org/discussions/thread/level-down/
Only 50 people are displayed. What if more than 50 people have solved all problems and don't apply to any criteria that Abhishek has stated?

Then Calvin misjudged the difficulty of 8 problems!
its random then.
it has also happened to me! no idea how they determine it.....
I was in level 4 in algebra two or three weeks ago , this week I had just left one question so is it necessary to solve all questions to level up
Log in to reply
no,not necessary.but for levelling up,u should solve the last and or last before questions for two weeks or sometimes for 1 week also.
wiat how do you u level up? cause i took diagnostic and got lvl 5 for geometrey which i did on sunday and i didn't feel like doing any questions, so they leveled me down to a level 4. Why?
