Some tabs or pages may be hidden if your school or administrator turned a feature off.

Getting started (all roles)

1. Open Home and choose student, teacher, or parent—or use Sign in / Sign up from the header or Profile. 2. Create an account with your role, name, grade (students), medium, and district when asked. Teacher and parent signup may depend on your school settings. 3. Password reset usually works for email accounts; username-only students may need teacher support if they lose access. 4. Stay signed in on the same browser so practice, mock exams, and badges stay on your account. If you cannot sign in, your account may be disabled by an admin or your session expired—try Profile again.

How to use as a student

Bottom navigation

• Home — landing page and shortcuts. • Practice — adaptive MCQ practice with hints and explanations. • Mock exam — timed exams (past papers, packs, syllabus-style). • Dashboard — streaks, XP, badges, mastery, score estimate when available. • Profile — your details, language, parent linking, sign out.

How to use as a teacher

Use a teacher account. The bottom bar usually adds My class (/teacher). Teacher tools are at /teacher/tools.

My class (/teacher)

Create classes and share invite codes so students join (class size limits apply). View rosters, activity, and assignments. Create assignments (subject, topics, difficulty, due dates) and track submissions and scores. Open each class for analytics and class mock flows where available.

Teacher tools (/teacher/tools)

• Worksheet PDF — printable worksheets by class, subject, and question count. • Live quiz — start a timed quiz; students join from their devices. • Ability groups — suggested groups (e.g. stronger / average / needs help) from performance.

Tips

Keep invite codes private. Use assignments to steer practice and analytics to spot who needs help.

If you see “teacher sign-in required,” confirm on Profile that you use a teacher account, or ask your admin if teacher signup is restricted.

How to use as a parent

Use a parent account and open the Parent dashboard (/parent), also linked from Profile when the parent portal is on.

Link to your child

1. Sign in as a parent and open /parent. 2. Under Link to a student, enter your child’s username or email (must match their student account). 3. With invite code: if the student shared their code from Profile, linking can be immediate. 4. Without code: a pending request is sent—the student must approve it under Profile → Parent linking.

After linking

Linked children appear with name and grade. Optional: save a Telegram chat ID for weekly digest previews when your school’s setup supports it; use Preview to see sample summary data (activity, accuracy, streak) for the first linked child.

What parents should know

Parents monitor and link accounts; they do not replace the student learning flow. Digest details depend on your child practicing while logged in.
