This is a way for French students of all abilities to have a fun little race that&#8217;s good for everyone.  We rank you on the <strong>number of tests you take<\/strong> in the month &#8211; the more tests you take, the better your French gets.  It&#8217;s that simple!<\/p>\n<p>Here&#8217;s the current month&#8217;s <a href=\"\/leaderboard\">Leaderboard<\/a>.  If you don&#8217;t see your name on the list, get <strong><a href=\"\/\">French testing<\/a><\/strong>!  We don&#8217;t show full names to keep things fairly anonymous, but you&#8217;ll see enough to know if it&#8217;s you.  There are some clear outliers in the lead who are going test crazy as they&#8217;ve experienced the positive learning benefits.  Our top testers for the last few months have all experienced incredible progress in their French skills.<\/p>\n<h2>Improvement Timelines from Day 1<\/h2>\n<p>Your Dashboard now shows an Improvement Timeline even after your very first level test.  The graph was looking a bit empty with just one lonely data point on it, so to make sure you can see your improvement immediately, we&#8217;ve added a zero point starting from the day before you joined.  Okay, the graph isn&#8217;t <em>terribly<\/em> meaningful initially &#8211; at the start, it&#8217;s really more about what we&#8217;ve measured about your knowledge than how much you&#8217;ve improved &#8211; but it&#8217;s still motivating to see that line go up from day 1.
