Certification levels and exams: not to be confused with your XP

On SEO Jungle, two progression systems coexist: the certification system, based on levels and exams you pass, and your career system, based on XP earned through your overall activity. Here's how to tell them apart.

Levels and passed exams

Each certification level groups together several themed exams. An exam is passed as soon as you score 80% or more correct answers; once every exam in a level is passed, the corresponding certification is earned and the next level unlocks. This system only advances through passing exams: there's no content to study beforehand.

Career XP: a separate system

At the same time, your personal account and your organization's "Buyer" account earn XP through your activity on the marketplace: placing an order, saving a listing as a favorite, leaving a review, creating a project, paying by bank transfer, referring a contact, or updating your username. This XP accumulates automatically and raises your level, with no connection to certification exams. There's no maximum level, and each level-up triggers a small celebration animation.

Where to track both types of progress

From your "Career" page, you'll find both systems side by side: a progress bar for your personal level and for your organization's Buyer level, as well as the progress percentage for each certification exam. These are two independent indicators that complement each other, without ever overlapping.

Your certification progress can also help your position in the Top 100 Experts ranking for your country. As in any well-organized jungle, every trail leads somewhere, but it's best to know which one you're on.
