# Mistake done by MSE in calculating score.

In my profile of Mathematics SE, it shows that I've score of $$7$$ in algebra-precalculus tag.

However, if you manually count the scores of all the questions answered by of these tag, it comes out to be $$9$$. You can check here.

Is these really a mistake by the system or it will take time to appear the correct number?

(This question is solved now, no need to worry. )

• Your latest answer, which happens to have score 2, is very recent. Not everything is updated in (near) real-time. I'd wait a bit, say a day. Differently, yes, I think it just will take time for the correct number to appear.

• @quid you're right but this is a recent problem. This happened just three or four days ago...some reputaiton points aren't added after 24h...I have never seen this bfore. Jun 29 '20 at 13:15
• @Aryadeva if this is the case then please report it as such.

• I will. Note that the reputation points are added after some days. They're not lost. In the past at a certain time the reputaion points were updated. Always at the same hour. @quid Jun 29 '20 at 13:25
• @Aryadeva interesting. I did not know that. It seems possible that this is even an intentional change.

• Yes I think so too. @quid. Jun 29 '20 at 13:34
• If you'd like we can delete some of your answers to make it correct again! :-)

• I note that you edited one of the questions to include the tag. Your answer to that question has received two upvotes, which accounts for the discrepancy.

• ...or maybe not. After perusing the rest of the SE network, I don't see anything which backs up my theory.

• The link you give finds seven search results with the tag, but your "top tags" for that category reflects only six posts. Perhaps the retagging will be caught in a recalculation. Jun 30 '20 at 0:28
• Just to check the count, here is link to search for non-CW answers by this user in the algebra-precalculus tag. Jun 30 '20 at 3:43
• Your profile page has now updated to show a score of $9$ and that $7$ posts are counted. Jun 30 '20 at 4:39
• @hardmath, yes. Now, I got that the changes take time to appear rather than making it up instantly. :-) Jun 30 '20 at 4:44
