Different high scores: personal v. all time

Not a biggie, obviously, but does anyone know why my personal total-score is higher than my all-time high score for my course? (I’ve only ever done one course.) It’s out by about 34,000. It doesn’t matter, of course, but I just wondered.

Hi @LeighForbes61,

Hmm, that’s a strange one. The gap’s currently showing around 39K. Did you, by any chance, ‘restart’ that course after having reached around 39K points? Can’t think of any other reason for the difference.

No, I’ve just carried on through quite steadily.

I first noticed it a couple of weeks ago, when the difference was ~24k, although I know it had been even at various points before that. Then by a week or so later the difference had risen to 34k, and now 39k you say? I don’t know exactly when those changes took place, so I can’t say what I had been doing at the time; but I’ve definitely not restarted, and I don’t have the app, so it’s not a sync issue.

I could only think it might be something to do with the redesign, and that I’ve happened to be learning while they were fettling the leaderboard software, and whatever I did during those days/sessions wasn’t counted.

Ah, well. Thanks for putting thought to it!

@BeaTrisy, Any ideas what would have caused this? We’ve eliminated ‘restart’ and ‘syncing’ issues.

Okay, this is the weirdest thing, but I’ve done some experimenting!

I’ve discovered that when I do a round of classic review – with fewer than 10 questions – only the “correct answer points” are added to my all-time high-score; the “speed” and “accuracy” points are not added.

(There’s no problem with a full round of classic review (i.e. 10 questions), speed review, new questions, or difficult words. Everything else seems to work fine.)

I think this warrants a bug-report!
