How is my remaining XP calculated?
How is remaining XP determined?, How is XP calculated?, What does remaining XP mean?, How is my XP progress calculated?, How is the XP metric calculated?, How is my course completion estimated?
The amount of XP remaining in a course is estimated by calculating how much XP is required to complete the course based on a student’s recent performance Source: Other, MA Staff. This estimation process involves a brute-force simulation of the student working through the knowledge graph Source: Other, MA Staff. Because XP includes review, the relationship between XP and progress is nonlinear Source: Discord, MA Staff.

(The amount of XP remaining depends on the pace of learning, which adapts to your performance – e.g., if your accuracy decreases, reviews will come more frequently and the amount of XP in the course will increase.)”
