Scope: public documentation. Saved learner information requires account access.

## Earn and use Gems

Profile includes your Gem Bank, where you can see recent rewards and theme purchases. Replaying a case doesn’t repeat its first-completion reward.

- Finish the 10-question Daily Challenge to earn 25 Gems, once per day.
- Answer every question in a Journey case to complete it. Your first completion earns 10 Gems, whatever your score.
- Use earned Gems to unlock eligible themes in Special Missions. Check the displayed cost before confirming.

## Choose an earned badge

Choose an earned badge in Profile, then save your profile to display it. Gems and badges recognize activity; they aren’t a measure of exam readiness.

- First step: finish a practice session.
- Explorer: complete three guided cases.
- Steady: practice on three consecutive days.
