Understanding the Darey Score: A Guide to Your Learning Progress

What is the Darey Score?

The Darey Score is a comprehensive performance index that evaluates your progress during your learning experience at Darey.io. This score dynamically updates to reflect how well you engage with your learning path, complete projects, apply knowledge and contribute to the community. It is designed to:

  • Provide real-time feedback on your progress.

  • Encourage consistent learning behaviour and engagement.

  • Highlight areas of strength and improvement for skill development.

  • Motivate collaboration and contribution to the Darey.io community.

How is the Darey Score Calculated?

While the exact formula is proprietary, your score is based on these four major areas:

  1. Learning Engagement: Reflects how actively you interact with learning materials, such as live sessions, recorded content, and time spent on the platform.

  2. Project Performance: Measures your ability to apply what you’ve learned through hands-on projects, with a focus on quality, timeliness, and iteration.

  3. Knowledge Application: Evaluates your understanding of concepts through quizzes, self-reliance, and external learning activities.

  4. Community Contribution: Rewards your involvement in supporting peers, sharing knowledge, and contributing to the overall learning environment.

Each of these components carries a weight, ensuring a well-rounded evaluation that prioritizes both technical skills and collaborative abilities.

What is a Good Score?

After completing a 4-month bootcamp, we recommend aiming for the following benchmarks:

  • 800+ (Strong Progress): This range indicates readiness for job roles, with consistent performance and a solid grasp of skills.

  • 600–799 (Satisfactory Progress): This reflects foundational competence, but may require additional effort in specific areas to achieve career readiness.

  • Below 600 (Needs Improvement): Scores in this range highlight areas for focused improvement to meet program expectations.

Our goal is to support every learner in achieving a score of 800 or higher, reflecting strong progress and employability.
