A score of at least 250 points is needed to reach Level 2. Here's the scoring chart to look at:

Level 1: 1-249 points

Level 2: 250-999 points

Level 3: 1,000-2,499 points

Level 4: 2,500-4,999 points

Level 5: 5,000-9,999 points

Level 6: 10,000-24,999 points

Since you're still in Level 1, use your daily allotment of the following:

1. Answering 20 questions for 2 points; and,

2. Casting 20 votes for the Best Answer to an unresolved question for 1 point each.

Here are other ways you can earn points to get you into Level 2 even faster:

1. Logging into Y!A daily: 1 point

2. Getting your answer chosen as the best one by the asker or the Answers community (the latter in Voting): 10 points

3. Receiving a "thumbs-up" for your Best Answer: 1 point (up to a maximum of 50 points)

4. Choosing the Best Answer to your submitted question: 3 points.

How not to lose points:

1. Asking a question: -5 points (limit the number of questions that you can ask until attaining higher levels; you can ask unlimited questions once reaching Level 5 that starts off at 5,000 points)

2. Incurring a violation in a question: -10 points

3. Incurring a violation in an answer: -12 points

4. Filing a false violation appeal: -10 points (in addition to the last two items)

5. Self-deleting your answer: -2 points.
