There’s no fixed time, because you do it at your own pace. We actually recommend not doing every test back to back, as fatigue can drag your scores down. If you want your best rating for each test, space them out and give your body time to recover.

Everything you need is shown in the technique videos inside the app. Train however you like, but when you log an official rating attempt, make sure you follow the criteria and equipment rules in those videos so it counts properly.

Absolutely. The SIX is built for everyone, from day one beginners to serious lifters. Think of your first rating as your starting line. The number that matters most is the one you earn next, and the one after that.

Yes, whenever you want. That said, you will get more value if you give yourself time to actually build on your last result. A good rule of thumb is every 6 to 8 weeks: test, train, retest.

We keep the exact formula under wraps, KFC style.
What we can tell you is this: your rating is normalised using height, weight, age and gender (sex assigned at birth), so you are compared fairly against people in your category. Benchmarks can also update over time as new best performances are logged, so you might see your rating shift slightly now and then. That just means the standard has moved, and you have got a new target.
