Answer 3

@jam ,so it is waisting of time same drama it was better if scope of challenge widen with level!

Answer 4

There is no advantage with leaderboards and some people like going up levels as it's kind on a "win".

I personally like trying to obtain achievements and leveling up in console games for this reason. Within SoloLearn however, I just see them as a "nice to have" but not that fussed.

Challenges will only improve you if you review any incorrect answers and try to figure out the correct answer.

Answer 5

@Jamie As for learning from the challenges, I think there is a great potential for learning as more users add their own questions to the challenges question bank. But yeah, as long as the question bank remains small you could potentially memorize the questions to get more xp. I do think that xp can be a great motivation for learning more about programming because it makes you look more fierce during a coding challenge lol. so if you're high up on the leader board then you will look awesome when you challenge someone. so I guess the motivation is to look cool

Answer 6

As a silver kiddie, I just like XP number growing.

Answer 7

It's incentive. Some people need motivation. It's like trophies in new generation games: pointless. But it helps some people make learning a game. See "social engineering".
