Amount of Time to get to Level 5

Depending on your activity on the community board and the badges you collect it can take a few months.

I'm quite interested by this question too, and I like Andrei answer.

Hi Simon, The more you participate in the discussion, the faster you will get points! When I started I could never have thought to arrive at level 3 in less then a month. But at some point, the points "tumbles" at a crazy pace ... The received Kudoos gives 5 points so the participation in the discussions is really important !
The oldest Fizzicians will tell you to write only "perfect" answers because to reach level 9 at 150,000 points is difficult and they need "best answers" at 50 points to reach it's high levels. For young Fizziciens like us who want to reach level 3, the Kudoos received at 5 points are efficient enough to reach the firmament (2 bonus per month for a super total of 750 MB per month Rock on Fizz!) To get to level 5 from level 3 Will be hard... But keep in mind that you dont want to get to level 5 too fast. You Will have acces to 5 bonus but Will be able to use only 3 of Them. Son you Will loss them after 2 years. What I plan is to get to level 4 when my first 2 years Will pass.
