## What is BookBadge?

BookBadge turns the books you read into skills you can prove.

Reading a book is easy. Using it in a real conversation, a negotiation or a planning meeting is the hard part. BookBadge tests exactly that, with real situations instead of trivia, and gives you a certificate anyone can check.

HOW IT WORKS

1. Pick a goal
Land the raise, lead a company, hold a room, run a team, start a company and more. Each goal names the skills it takes and the rank each skill needs.

2. Take a 3-minute skill check
Five real situations per skill. You see what you can already apply and what you can't yet. Your first pass earns rank E.

3. Read the chapter for each gap
Every book is split into chapters with a short test each. Chapter tests are free with an account.

4. Pass the applied exam
Multiple choice plus written answers, graded with feedback on accuracy, understanding, application and clarity. Score 85 or higher to pass.

5. Earn your certificate
Every certificate has a public check page and can be added to LinkedIn with every field filled in.

CLIMB EVERY SKILL FROM F TO S
Each skill has seven ranks. Skill checks, chapter tests and the applied exam move you up, and the top ranks ask you to log real uses at work. Your skill certificate moves up with you.

LEARN YOUR WAY
- Books: chapter-by-chapter learning paths for popular business, leadership and psychology books
- Programs: academies with multi-book programs for managers, executives, finance leaders and founders, with a diploma when you finish
- People: reading programs inspired by well-known leaders and thinkers, each with a short thinking quiz
- Pathways: curated routes through several books toward one outcome

PRACTICE EVERY DAY
- Today's situation: one 2-minute applied question a day to keep your streak
- Situation coach: describe a real situation from your life and get a scored answer plus the chapter that helps
- Duels: challenge a friend to the same five questions

YOUR PROOF IN ONE PLACE
The Proof tab shows your goal, every skill rank and all your certificates: book exams, skill certificates, pathway certificates and academy diplomas.

MEMBERSHIP
Skill checks and chapter tests are free with an account. A membership adds graded written answers, applied exams, certificates and diplomas. Monthly and yearly plans are available, and you can cancel any time in your store account settings.

People programs are inspired by public figures and are not affiliated with or endorsed by them.
