Tiers and AC Rating

English한국어

AC Rating is an indicator that rises as you solve more difficult problems on Baekjoon Online Judge. A programmer's tier is calculated based on the AC rating.

Tiers

Tiers are divided into 32 levels. The right side of the table shows the AC rating required to achieve each tier.

Formula

The AC rating is determined by the following formula:

(AC Rating)=(Sum of the difficulty values of the top 100 solved problems)+(Bonus rating based on CLASS)+⌊175×(1−0.995(Number of solved problems))⌉+⌊25×(1−0.9(Contribution))⌉\begin{aligned} \left(\text{AC Rating}\right) &= \left(\text{Sum of the difficulty values of the top 100 solved problems}\right) \\ &+ \left(\text{Bonus rating based on CLASS}\right) \\ &+ \left\lfloor 175\times \left(1-0.995^{\left(\text{Number of solved problems}\right)}\right) \right\rceil \\ &+ \left\lfloor 25\times \left(1-0.9^{\left(\text{Contribution}\right)}\right) \right\rceil \end{aligned}

⌊x⌉\left\lfloor x \right\rceil means rounding xx to an integer.

  • solved.ac also uses icons to represent the difficulty of problems, just like the programmer's tier.
    • Level value refers to the difficulty of the problem, converted to 1 point for Bronze V, 2 points for Bronze IV, … 30 points for Ruby I. The higher the difficulty of the problem, the higher the rating you can achieve.

  • You can receive bonus ratings based on CLASS grades.

    • Only contributions reflected in the difficulty calculation are applied to the contribution.

How to Increase Your Rating

If you have solved one or more problems, you can check the elements that make up your AC rating in the Overview section of your profile.

1. Problem Solving

List of problems by difficulty

Solving problems can increase your AC rating.

The most difficult 100 problems you have solved will be reflected in your rating. If you have not solved 100 problems yet, the difficulty value of the newly solved problem will be added to your rating until you solve 100 problems. You must solve difficult problems to increase your rating.

  • Until you solve 100 problems, the difficulty value of the newly solved problem will be added to your rating.
  • After solving 100 problems, the difficulty value of the newly solved problem will not be reflected in your rating if it is easier than the 100 problems you have solved. You must solve difficult problems.

Also, you can receive bonus ratings based on the number of problems solved.

  • The bonus rating is the sum of ⌊175×(1−0.995(number of solved problems))⌉\left\lfloor 175\times \left(1-0.995^{\left(\text{number of solved problems}\right)}\right) \right\rceil.
  • If you have solved 1,169 problems or more, the bonus rating will be the maximum.
