Answer 5

Check the link I provided? I believe the application link should be there :)

off the top of my head, I remember some requirements as being that you would have to have a SmartScore of at least 80, have at least one title in that subject, and have a good history of being an awesome helper on OpenStudy :)

Answer 6

The moderators and administrators would consider the applications, check out your past answers so see your teaching style and your report record (if you have broken any rules)

Answer 7

how can u get ur smartscore higher faster? it is very hard:(

Answer 8

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:

Answer 11

Answer 12

mhmm if you wanna quick tip, helping others is the fastest way to increase your smart score :)
most people get in the 90s by 2000 questions answered ;) it may seem like a lot, but considering @iGreen flew by 99ss in 18 days... :P I'm sure you'll reach it if you're persistent ^_^ good luck!

Answer 13

how did @iGreen flew to 99ss in less than 3 weeks? That's some serious OpenStudy commitment.

Answer 14

Answer 15

It was actually @iGreen.
