What is XP in DataCamp?

XP is a way of measuring your engagement within DataCamp. It calculates automatically based on courses, exercises, or other content that you complete. As you progress through DataCamp's exercises, you will collect XP so that you can measure your progress. Because DataCamp's content is self-guided, you do not need a minimum XP to progress onto the next exercise.

For courses, you can Take Hint, which will subtract some XP, and Show Answer, which will subtract all XP, but still allow you to proceed. DataCamp's XP does not have any exchange value, though you can keep track of your activity, as well as receive a weekly email sharing your productivity percentile.

DataCamp does not provide grades. While XP is gained after completing each exercise, there is not a special XP bonus provided after completing the entire course. After completion of a course, you will have access to a Statement of Accomplishment, which you can download or share on Linkedin.
