Skill Badge Hack!

[hanisntsolo]

So I would like to share this with other guys which I discovered maybe by mistake on my way to the ultimate milestone which is complete now.

Weight is attached to each skill badge once you do the challenge lab first you can get the skill badge even on only doing the challenge lab, some badges will demand an extra lab or two but not all.

So effectively speaking if you can do a challenge lab first going through the earlier labs understanding everything and doing directly the challenge lab, there are high chances of you only using a single lab count per skill badge.

Hope this helps those guys who are acing for facilitator skill badges!

True, but don't forget these skill badges have pre-assessment labs, and there aren't that many of them.

I am not talking about the one with pre-assessment I am talking in general, maybe you wanna try it next time!

There are back doors 🚪 to everything maybe these are left on purpose, by the developers to test whether you get a skill badge when you are done with a skill challenge lab.🧪 

Since testing the whole set of 4-10 labs to register the badge count would be a long and tedious process as far as testing is concerned.

But I really find it amusing since it cannot help me now, so this information is for the public who can leverage this fact.

It is not a hack, and there is no weight attached to anything - GCSB just remembers which labs you have already done before, and ticks them for you - but only once you have already started at least one lab in the current (skill badge) course. So to avoid doing same labs multiple times, it is best to start each new course either with the challenge lab, or a lab that you are sure you have not done before.

Mind you, this does not apply to the challenge labs, nor to the Arcade labs.

Are you mentioning any labs which are complete earlier as got ticked here??

,once you hit the challenge lab!

well then you are mistaken!

I am talking about getting the skill badge on just completing the challenge lab with other labs unticked.

[hanisntsolo]

I think you still need to check it out as I said I just stumbled upon it unknowingly.

I have just tried. Started a new skill badge course, and did only the challenge lab (turned out I had another lab already done before, but 2 other labs still not done/checked yet). and no, I did not get the skill badge after completing just the challenge lab.

These kind of hacks might result to suspension or ban of your account as well.

[hanisntsolo]

Why? These are developers backdoors as I already highlighted.

The labs are designed for learning purpose and if you use these hacks then this will be noticeable to Qwiklab team as earlier they implemented the lab limit.
