Special Achievements
Master Badge
Score: 10.0
The Master Badge is awarded when you achieve a perfect 10.0 score. This prestigious achievement represents peak AI fluency and is prominently displayed on your public profile. Very few users earn this distinction.
Elite Tier
Score: 10.0+
Elite tier is for those who transcend the standard scale. While 10.0 represents mastery, some exceptional users push beyond into Elite territory. In this tier, competition is infinite, you're ranked against other Elite users rather than a fixed scale.
