Question

What exactly is a smartscore?

Answer 1

In my experience, the Smart Score (SS) is a indication of how active and helpful you are to the OpenStudy community. I know I'll lose the medal for this, but my friend @sammixboo can explain it really well.

Answer 2

Ah I have been summoned, but @doulikepiecauseidont explained it pretty well :)

Your SmartScore tells you how active and helpful you are on OpenStudy. To increase your SmartScore you have to answer question, get medals, ask questions, get fans, get testimonials, etc. Also talking in the chats can raise your SS as well. Any other questions? :)

Answer 3

And then there is your SubScores, which is

Problem Solving
-You can raise this Subscore by getting testimonials, fans, and by helping people.

Teamwork
-You can raise this SubScore by answering questions and getting medals for your answers.

Engagement
-You can raise this SubScore by Asking Questions, getting medals on your own thread, and being online.

There is a few other ways, but that is pretty much it :)

Answer 4

You can hover another user's name to see their SmartScore and SubScores, or you can hover over this http://goo.gl/VDKQAK to view all of your SubScores

Answer 5

Another tip - there is different color username due to your SmartScore.

Levels 19 and under will be a red
Levels 20-49 will be an orange
Levels 50-74 will be yellow
Levels 75-89 will be an olive color
Levels 90-100 will be the same color as my username.

The higher your SmartScore, the harder it gets!

Answer 6

Only one person has a 100 SmartScore

Answer 10

@sammixboo explained it very well but I think she switched teamwork with problem solving by mistake. Following is the corrected one

Answer 14

Every little thing you do on OpenStudy can increase your smartscore. It's how well you do these things to increase it. There's no fast easy way to increase it. It takes times.

For the problem solving portion, you must answer questions not only in detail, but guiding the user to understanding the problem. Giving direct answers is not only not allowed, but it doesn't even help the user understand anything. Plus, direct answers don't increase your smartscore as fast as answering in detail would.

Teamwork! One thing people consider to be somewhat hard to do. By gaining fans as well as fanning users, you are then increasing your smartscore even more! The more fans you earn, the higher you go. But be aware that creating accounts to fan yourself doesn't increase your smartscore by much. Also, it's not allowed and could lead to your main account being suspended forever. You best bet would be to enter chats, as well as help out a lot.

Lastly we have engagement. Here is the fun part, when you ask questions you're increasing your smartscore! Isn't that cool? You can increase your smartscore just by making threads you need help on! Not to mention the amount of medals you earn and give out can help increase it faster! But keep in mind, spamming yourself with medals isn't allowed on here and will not increase your smartscore fast at all. Another thing about engagement is that the longer you're on here, the higher your smartscore goes too!

It's as if almost everything on here will increase your smartscore. It can be fun and I hope you find it very fun too. I hope you have the best time on OpenStudy and good luck with the journey on here. c:
