View My RankHow does the ELO System work?
Cracked uses a modified ELO rating system similar to Chess or competitive video games. Your rating increases when you solve problems correctly, and decreases if you get them wrong. However, unlike Chess, your "opponent" is the problem itself.
- Hard Problems give more points if solved, but penalize you less if missed.
- Easy Problems give fewer points, but penalize you more if missed.
- Your rating stabilizes over time to represent your true probability of passing a technical interview.
