summary

Randomized controlled experiment n=701 adds a points system, a badge system, both, or nothing to a Q‑bank used for question generation and self‑testing. Badges drive a 40% rise in median self‑testing and concentrated activity in the top quartile, producing a 4.5% mean exam increase with about 72% of the effect mediated by extra answers; badges add roughly 20 answers per active student. Points alone show no measurable boost, and under 12% of students create questions.
