What is XP on Brilliant?

XP (experience points) measures your learning activity on Brilliant. You earn XP by completing lessons and solving problems.

XP and Leagues

Your weekly XP determines your standing in Leagues—Brilliant's friendly competition where you compete against other learners for the most XP each week.

Each week, your XP resets to zero and you're placed in a new league group. The learners with the most XP in your group advance to higher leagues, while those with the least XP move down.

How you earn XP

You gain XP through learning activities:

  • Completing lessons
  • Solving problems
  • Engaging with course content

The amount of XP you earn corresponds to the time and effort required.

Viewing your XP

You can see your weekly XP total in the Leagues section on your Brilliant home page.
