Question

How do I get my engagement and problem solving up?

Answer 1

Answer problems, and ask questions.

Answer 2

Or they just won't let you do that anymore, because I'm having the same problem. XD

Answer 3

Be nice. Help people. Earn medals.

Answer 4

same with you @TheEdwardsFamily

Answer 5

Hmmm, I've been typing bigger answers and getting medals for that, but that doesn't seem to help very much.

Answer 6

Problem solving is raised based on how frequently you answer questions and how many medals you receive.

Engagement is based on how frequently you ask questions and something else that I forgot.

Answer 7

Or get more fans, get medals, get testimonials.

Answer 8

You can raise the Engagement score by simply logging in more often. :P

Answer 9

^ that

Answer 10

engagement <-- ask question or tutorials
problem solving <------ help other users

Answer 12

huh? @brooklyn<3you

Answer 13

Engagement is actually how active you are on the site overall.

Answer 14

One sec.

Answer 15

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 time.

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:
