Course points explanation

Just wondering how course points work. In php Build a Simple PHP Application on the left side there is number 613 I guess the max possible points to earn and on the right the points you have earned on the course. I have 559 and I completed all quizzes and challenges. How does it calculate, if I retake quiz does it subtract some points from max or how? And how can I make up those points? I included screenshot (https://www.dropbox.com/s/2unhce8nj3jzuw1/points.jpg?dl=0) Thanks

Hey Nemanja,

It's actually the opposite. The maximum points you could get is 559 for completing the quizzes and challenges on that specific course, but in your case you have 613 because you also get a point for watching videos to the end. Your points are on the left and the points you get for completing challenges and quizzes are on the right.
