February Update 🔥
Last season has come to an end and Damien Toscano was the Autumn Season Champion. He won with panache, collecting gold medals and contributing to the questions!
What is the MCQ ranking?
Each season, we set up a challenge targeting tech profiles (developers, but also more “functional” profiles such as project managers !).
To participate, simply take part in our technical tests and/or contribute questions to the platform ! The ranking is updated 4 times a day, find it here.
The aim is to score as many points as possible, with a prize for first place and other prizes !
This season, lots will be released by “Tier” to keep the competition lively all season long.
For the first Tier, we’re offering licenses donated by JetBrains.
The coupon entitles you to use your favorite IDE: CLion, Data Grip, DataSpell, GoLand, IntelliJ IDEA Ultimate, PhpStorm, PyCharm, ReSharper, ReSharper C++, Rider, RubyMine, or WebStorm.
To win, all you need to do is be one of the first 3 players to exceed 600 points on the Winter Season leaderboard, the current season.
What does 600 points mean? It’s 15 gold medals, 30 silver medals, 60 bronze medals or a combination of these 3. It’s not easy to do them all in the same day. And if you’ve already done 400 points, it’s quite a challenge to get up to 600. In short, the competition is open to all!
For the second Tier, we’re giving away 50€ Amazon vouchers.
We’re putting our SREs in the spotlight at the end of this season ! The first people to contribute 20 questions for the tests we’re preparing on AWS, Azure and GCP will win a €50 voucher from Amazon ! What’s more, these contributors will receive the “SRE Pioneer” badge.
And for those of you who win a gold medal in all our DevOps tests, we’ll give you an “SRE Master” badge to proudly display on your profile.
For this season’s grand prize winner, a Logitech MX Keys S Combo: an MX Keys S keyboard and an MX Master 3S mouse !
How to earn points?
By taking tests
Each time you take a MCQ, your answers are compared with other users using a well-known algorithm in the chess world (the glicko). And your score is ranked compared to others. If you make it to the Top 10%, it means your score is better than 90% of users. You then receive a medal displayed on your profile based on the score.
- 🥇 Gold medal for Top 5% worth 40 points
- 🥈 Silver medal for Top 20% worth 20 points
- 🥉 Bronze medal for Top 40% worth 10 points
