  probably because you are on level six already and you have already finished it so you can't gain any more exp

  Once you get 30+ correct answers on any word you won't get xp anymore

  @OTOKO The zero EXP means you answered the same question 29 or more times, so you will no longer earn any EXPS when answering this question. This limit of 29 correct answers for the same question wasset by the administrator when JCJP was first created many years ago.

  @kekkou The 29 correct answer limit for earning EXP isn't something which has always existed. Here's some important background history...
  
  The 29 correct answer limit was only added midway through 2012, just before I created my account on here. This website has been around since 2008.

  This is how some users were able to earn more EXP back then than is now realistically possible. (The maximum EXP you can earn in Practice and Lessons combined is 8.9 million EXP, and that is if you answer every single question 29 times correctly in one long combo, never making any mistakes!)
  I think when I started Medyrius was already passed the 7 million EXP mark.reached 10 million EXP in May 2013, eight months after the limit was introduced.
  
  The limit was introduced in response to what was claimed in the following post, although I don't know if there was ever any evidence found:
  http://japaneseclass.jp/forum/thread/468
  
  Several top ranking users didn't agree with the idea of this limit. In that post, some users even warned that it would cause the current problems some of us users are facing now, where we can't earn any EXP...
  
  However, the 29 answer limit wasn't meant to be the only part to the solution, because even back then level 7 was meant to be coming soon...

  @mog86uk Wow. I joined on Oct 13, 2013, so I know it was at least 1 year, 3 months, 3 weeks ... I'll stop now. ;p
  
  Thanks for the history. @Medyrius's second-to-last response on Social Feeds post #468 (above) was hilarious, since I can earn 13,000 or more EXPs per day on the Readings. Hee hee. ;p

  @kekkou To be fair, I think when Medyrius wrote that the Readings feature still only gave 1 EXP per question (I'm fairly certain it was at least a year later that it was adjusted to 7 EXP per question, maybe even around the time of the beta?).
