How EXP is earned
Exams and tests earn the most, and a better score earns more. Repeats pay less, so EXP cannot be farmed: the first try at a lesson, exercise, Topic Test, test, exam or ARC item pays full EXP, the second try pays 30 percent, the third try pays 10 percent, and the fourth try onwards pays none. A failed try never loses EXP. There is no daily EXP limit. EXP is hidden during exams.
| What your child does | EXP | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Exam paper (WA, end-of-year or Alec Prelim Papers) | 40 + up to 160 by score (max 200), +20 for 85 and above | Pays the most |
| Topic Test | 20 + up to 60 by score (max 80) | Higher score, more EXP |
| Second try at the same lesson, exercise, Topic Test, test, exam or ARC item | 30 percent of the first-try EXP | Much less than the first try |
| Third try at the same item | 10 percent of the first-try EXP | Much less than the first try |
| Fourth try onwards at the same item | None | A failed try never loses EXP |
| Weekend weak-point retest | 3 per first-try correct answer, 2 after a retry, +10 for finishing (max 55) | ALEC builds it from the week's weakest topics |
| Exercise set (10 questions) | 2 per first-try correct answer, 1 after a retry, +5 for finishing (max 25) | |
| Animated lesson finished | 15, plus 2 or 1 for each practice and quiz answer | |
| ARC lesson or Life Skills lesson finished | 12, plus 1 for each correct answer | ARC course exam: 60 for a pass, 90 with Distinction |
| Life Skills course finished | 40 | |
| Parents Academy module finished by the parent | 20, added to the child's EXP | A reason to read together |

How much EXP for each belt
The numbers under Plain and 1, 2 and 3 stripes are the total EXP a child needs to reach that step.
| Belt | EXP per step | Plain | 1 stripe | 2 stripes | 3 stripes |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 150 | 0 | 150 | 300 | 450 | |
| 250 | 600 | 850 | 1,100 | 1,350 | |
| 400 | 1,600 | 2,000 | 2,400 | 2,800 | |
| 600 | 3,200 | 3,800 | 4,400 | 5,000 | |
| 900 | 5,600 | 6,500 | 7,400 | 8,300 | |
| 1,500 | 9,200 | 10,700 | 12,200 | 13,700 | |
| After the black belt with 3 stripes: 1 star for every 400 EXP (first star at 14,100 EXP), with no ceiling | |||||
Every belt, black included, has 4 steps: plain, then 1, 2 and 3 stripes. Each step costs the EXP per step shown. The plain Black belt comes at 9,200 EXP, which a diligent child (about 4 study days a week) should reach in about 6 months. Black is 1,500 EXP per step, so its stripes come at 10,700, 12,200 and 13,700 EXP. After the black belt with 3 stripes, 1 star for every 400 EXP (first star at 14,100 EXP), with no ceiling, and the children with the most stars lead the leaderboard.
