Mentors score notes on four criteria: correctness (40%), completeness (25%), clarity (20%), and exam relevance (15%). Each is rated 1-5, and the weighted average determines the outcome.
If disputes reveal review errors, your accuracy rating is affected. Repeated issues may lead to demotion or removal. We encourage careful, thorough reviews.
It's flexible. Most mentors review 3-5 notes per week, taking about 10-15 minutes each. You choose your own schedule and workload.
Mentors earn YoCoin for each note they review that gets verified. Rewards are credited after the community window closes and the note achieves verified status.
Yes. You select your expertise areas during application. You'll only see notes in your subjects in the review queue.
When users report errors, mentors review the dispute first. If you validated a disputed note, you may be asked to reassess. Escalated disputes go to admin review.
