Question

Um... Hi? Can someone explain to me in more detail how to earn 'SmartCents'? Also, could someone explain what the titles are for exactly?

Answer 1

They are for motivation. Who doesn't like to "upgrade" their account to get new name colors, higher smartscore and titles which reflect your dedication to a particular subject?

You gain smartcents for every medal you get, regardless of the subject you earned it in.

You can unlock titles by getting a fixed amount of medals in a subject.
There are 3 tiers, tier 1 costs 50 medals, tier 2 costs 500 medals and tier 3 costs 3000 medals.

The trick is to get this amount of medals in 1 subject, but you can also use medals gained in other subject to unlock a title. This sounds a little confusing I guess, so a little example:

You earned 3000 medals in mathematics, so you can buy any of the 3 titles.
BUT, you decide to try the tier 2 title, which costs 500 smartcents. So now your smartcents balance is 2500. which means you cannot purchase the tier 3 title (3000 smartcents).
So you can earn 500 medals in any subject to get the 3000 smartcents required.

Hope you'll understand :)

Welcome to OpenStudy by the way @BeautifulNightmare.

Answer 3

Thank you, @thomaster, but how much is one medal worth exactly? I've earned 175 smart cents (before I purchased the title 'Super Librarian') but I've only earned 117 medals (106 in English). Is there other ways that you can earn Smart Cents?

Thank you, @Cosmichaotic

Answer 4

Like I said, your SmartCents is basically the sum of all your medals, regardless of the subject.

The unlocking part requires medals in a particular subject.

Answer 5

I'm not aware of other ways to earn SmartCents though.

Answer 6

There are no other ways _yet_ :) but who knows.. maybe there'll be some at some point :)
