In this last puzzle, I played wrong but the scoring system goes like that

1. Puzzle rating higher than you -------------- YES

2. Partially Correct-------------------------------YES

3. Played Fast------------------------------------ YES

4. Played totally correctly ------------------------NO

So, even if I did wrong, I can still get good score (+3) ! Player rating 2300+, puzzle rating 2700+

null

You will lose horrible score if 

1. Puzzle rating much lower than you---------------- YES

2. Think too long-------------------------------------- YES

3. Totally wrong since the beginning ----------------- YES

Then you will get horrible negative score!1

I think Chess.com tactics not be taken too seriously or their rating, just play & enjoy. Yaa, rating criteria is somewhat complex but if group of experts made that then there should be some logic behind.

It is up to you, you can enjoy whatever you like.

I have made my own target, I wont play blitz in here again unless I get 2500+ in tactics rating!
