PRT — Precision Ranker Test

PRT is BioIQ’s full-syllabus Biology test series for timed exam practice. Each paper has 90 questions, a fixed 60-minute timer, +4/−1 marking, and an All-India rank for the live attempt.

How to edit the papers: open PRT/PRT-001.js through PRT-044.js, replace the placeholder array with 90 objects, and use a zero-based correctIndex from 0 to 3.

BIOIQ ID, XP & the live leaderboard

bioIQ now connects your account activity through a permanent BIOIQ ID. It is generated when you create an account, looks like BIOIQ-12AB34CD56, and cannot be changed. You can find it in the profile card and account details after signing in. Keep it private when sharing screenshots.

🏆 How XP works

• Practice XP — Correct answers and completed questions add XP.
• Consistency XP — Active study days and streaks reward regular revision.
• Study XP — Focused study time and first visits to chapters add progress XP.
• One personal total — Your XP is stored with this browser/account and updates the dashboard, profile, and leaderboard.

XP is a motivation score, not an NEET mark. Accuracy, completion, and understanding still matter more than chasing points.

📈 Leaderboard

Open Leaderboard from the dashboard or top navigation. It refreshes live, shows your rank, XP, questions, accuracy, streak, and study time, and lets you switch between Today, This week, This month, and All time. Your own activity is used for your row; other rows are demonstration activity used to keep the rank room lively until the backend connects real users.

🔔 Notifications

The Notifications card on the home dashboard shows BioIQ announcements. Open it to see history saved for about one month. A private owner message addressed to your BIOIQ ID is visible only to you and automatically expires after 24 hours.

BIOIQ ID, issue reports & account support

When reporting a bug or wrong answer, fill in your BIOIQ ID on Report an Issue. This lets the support team connect the report to the correct profile. You can find the ID in your profile panel; do not guess it or use your username instead.

Reports are also shown in the owner’s Reports section with their category, page, description, BIOIQ ID, and status. Include the chapter, question source, and device details whenever possible.

Understanding PRT, PP, PYQ, ETS and combined practice

In-text questions are chapter-linked questions drawn across the textbook. They help you revise line-by-line concepts before moving into PYQs and timed tests. Wrong answers from practice can feed your Mistake Notebook for another revision pass.
