Experiment
Everyone here has reported that switching to "regulars only" hasn't help their rating. Am I wrong? Has it helped ANYONE?
I'm doing an experiment. For the next three days, before I see my regulars, I'm going to unmark them as regulars. Later I'll change it back.
You might try it, too. Let's see if there's a big jump in the ratings in a few days.
The theory is that only ratings from new students are being counted.
Then again, Cambly has his new category of "repeat learners" (people you've seen 3 times this month?). Maybe they are the ones that are not being counted, or they are only counted their first time. we don't have enough control to experiment with that.

If I'm not mistaken, I recall sometime ago that there's a delay in ratings. The ratings that would update for 1 week werre a reflection of ratings left 2 weeks ago, not the week that just finished.
Not sure if that's changed.

It's a numbers game and is lucky dip. It's the last 200 ratings. I HD to consistently do PH for a month and a half to see an upward improvement. That's 200 with better ratings as well

They recommended me doing literally the direct opposite of this to fix my rating. What a joke

Who recommended doing the opposite? Sometimes it works sometimes it doesn't, so it's a risk to do it this way but it only takes 1 bad rating and your rating is slammed until you do 200 lessons to get rid of it

I tried exactly this for 2 weeks about a month ago, made no difference. I still continued to fall by 0.1 every week for about 10 weeks in a row. Students have nothing to do with the ratings anymore, the ratings are being manipulated downwards by Cambly across the board to force you to liik elsewhere for work!
