Anyone else find the rating system on tactics ridiculous?

Sick of losing a stupid amount of points for getting a tactic puzzle wrong, and only gaining 2 or three for a correct one! Especially when there is multiple moves, you guess three out of four right and still loose points!! And the whole, get it wrong on the first attempt and losing ten points of your grade??!!!! I think you can be a little more lenient than that guys! Sort it out! Try using "Shredder" chess system! Don't penalise people so hard! I takes four correct puzzles to make up the points for one wrong one! Am I just being a whinging fool, or does any one else feel my pain?

I think the tactic rating system work okay, I have make around 2000 puzzle and I have been to down 949 point, but I have doing better now, and have noticed that I need to have at least 70% correct of all the puzzles I complete in every of my session to get my rating up. In my last session I used 64 minutes to complete 32 puzzles, 25 puzzles was correct = 78% and 7 was wrong = 22% and my rating up from 1519  to 1545.

Although I get the puzzle wrong I use the time to get puzzle correct in my second attempt,  I know  that I do not get any points, but I can use it if I get the same situation another time.

It is indeed ridiculous. On another site where I do tactics, any tactic above 2000 is quality stuff - subtle moves that cannot be spotted easily is the winning move. But here, when solving 2000+ puzzles I go on with same mentality and make mistakes. Puzzles rated 2000 here will probably be in 1800 category on other sites.

I consider the rating of a puzzle to determine how much effort to put in since time is also monitored here based on which points is awarded.

It's a training tool, I'm not even sure why it has a rating system at all.

You have a point. The most important thing is to do the training.

Rating system on Tactics Trainer = Ridiculous? No, it comes across as awfully generous in handing out points.  

Agreed. Will follow your advice.
