'''XP''' (short for ''experience points'') is the point system used in [[Duolingo]] to track a learner’s progress. XP is earned by completing lessons, practicing [[skills]], completing stories, or finishing [[Monthly Challenge|challenges]]. It determines a [[Users|user's]] level, helps with [[League|leaderboards]], and unlocks special features over time.

== How to Earn XP ==
There are several ways to earn XP on Duolingo:

* Completing a [[Lesson]] (usually 10 XP)
* Doing a [[Practice]] session
* Completing [[Duolingo Stories]] (usually 14–28 XP)
* Participating in [[Timed Challenges]] like Lightning Round
* Finishing [[Unit Review]] or [[Legendary Challenges]]

== XP Boost ==
After completing a full [[Practice Hub|practice session]] or meeting a [[Daily Quests|daily goal]], users may receive an '''[[XP Boost]]'''. This [[Double XP Boost|doubles XP]] earned for a limited time, helping users gain levels or move up on the [[Leaderboards]].

== Leaderboards ==
XP is the main metric for weekly leaderboard competitions. The more XP a learner earns in a week, the higher they rank on the leaderboard. This adds a competitive and motivational element to [[Languages|language learning]].

== XP and Crowns ==
Each skill has five [[Crown level|crown levels]], and earning XP contributes to advancing crown levels. More crowns usually mean higher XP opportunities, especially in tougher lessons.

== XP in Events ==
XP is often the focus of events like [[XP Ramp Up]] or [[Double XP Weekend]]. These events make it easier for users to level up quickly or complete [[streak]]-based goals.

== Trivia ==

* The maximum XP from a normal lesson is 10, but bonuses can increase it.
* The current top XP holders have earned millions of XP through years of learning.
* Some learners "XP grind" by repeating easy lessons to rise in leaderboards.
