Recently I have been getting quite annoyed because I have all of my commons, uncommons and half my rares maxed out and I'm only at 7800 Apex rating. Im seeing all these players with 15000 plus apex rating and I didnt understand. Are they really spending that much money on the game? Have they really played that much? I have 50 plus hours in the multiplayer and have spent about $120 and they have double my apex. What am I doing wrong? So I took off to google for my answers. I saw the error in my way and didnt relize challenges effect your apex rating so much. Hell, I thought they were still bugged and you couldn't complete them. Now that I'm working on my challenges, I have a few questions.

1. When it says earn points with a weapon or skill, what does that mean? Does points mean damage, use or kills? Example. I kill 1 enemy and did 400 damage. Do I get 400 points for damage, 1 point for the kill or 1 point every time I shot or used the skill?

2. What are challenge points? I completed a challenge last night and it said I was awarded 500 challenge points. I only revived 100 Apex points. I assumed if you completed the challange, those challange points would turn into apex points. Sounds simple and easy, but I guess it's more complicated than that. Can someone eleberate?

I will be adding onto this post, asking more questions and keeping it alive to try and get these questions answered. Bioware does not do a very good job at explaining how their multiplayer works. If you have any questions about the multiplayer challanges, please ask below and hopefully as a community, we can help each other out.

I have 50 hours as well and a lower apex rating than you, i think people are just playing it that much(the ones that still are i haven't played in 2 weeks). Challenges get done as you play, if you play on gold obviously you get more points per kill etc. And i am pretty sure its per kill and not damage.

I have played around 40 myself, spent $0 extra dollars, and have a 1,165 APEX rating it says so I don't know what to say. I am just playing the game with little concern for what that number says. Sorry I can't be of more help but just wanted to say your number could be lower lol.
