Every term, defined.

A student’s standing among others the same age: a title, a place (“#96 of 1,204”) and a share (“Top 8%”). Built from the best 3 subjects, earned every day, never reset and never bought.

A dated yearly honour for the top 1% of each age group, taken on 31 March. Written with its year, e.g. “Ado Crown 2027”.

The number behind the title: the average of a student’s best 3 subject ratings, each taken as a cautious estimate (the rating minus its uncertainty).

The name for a level of the Ado Rank, lowest first: Rookie, Challenger, Contender, Elite, Prime, Legend.

Students are ranked only against their own age group: Sprout (6–8), Spark (9–11), Surge (12–14), Apex (15–17), Orbit (18–22). Students aged 18–22 never share a board with anyone younger.

The first 3 dailies, after which a student gets a title and a place.

A subject whose rating is still uncertain (a rating deviation above 150). It settles as the student plays.

The day’s 8 ranked questions, including the sprint. A new one opens every morning.

60 seconds of quick, computed questions inside the daily.

The top three of an age group on a day’s daily.

A weekly race in a group of about 30 students the same age, at a similar level. It closes on Sunday at 21:00; the top 5 move up a tier and the bottom 5 move down.

The league ladder, lowest first: Bronze, Silver, Gold, Sapphire, Ruby, Emerald, Amethyst, Pearl, Diamond.

The student who finishes first in their league group in a week.

A bigger set in 3 parts across the week, worth extra points, closing on Sunday at 21:00.

A free competition over two league weeks, with certificates and trophies for the top of each age group.

1 to 5 stars in each subject, from the same cautious estimate as the rank, so strengths and gaps are plain to see.

Days in a row with a daily played. Badges at 7, 30, 100, 365 days; a streak freeze covers a missed day.

A made-up name, like BraveOtter41, shown on boards with a first name only if the family chooses.

The card a student can share: their handle, title, place and league. Never an age, a school, where they live or a photo.

A dated record of a student’s Ado Rank, with a code anyone can check at adorank.com/verify. The family can withdraw it.
