📘 Student Guide

A simple, complete walkthrough of everything on EduJA

This guide covers everything you need to use EduJA well — from signing in for the first time to tracking your own progress. It works the same way for every grade, 7 through 13; just swap in your own grade and subjects wherever you see an example.

1. Signing In

Tap 🔐 Sign In in the top-right corner of the homepage. If you don't have an account yet, use the Register tab — you'll need a name, username, email address, password, and your grade level. Students under 13 need a parent or guardian to set up the account instead (there's a note about this on the registration form).

After you register, check your email (and your spam folder) for a confirmation link — you have to click it before you can sign in. Once you're signed in, you'll stay signed in on that browser until you log out, close the browser, or are inactive for 10 minutes.

Have a referral or partner code? If a friend, teacher, school, church, or club gave you an EduJA code, type it into the Referral or Partner Code box on the registration form. If you opened EduJA from their link, the code is filled in for you.

Your first sign-in. The first time you sign in as a student, EduJA gives you a short placement check — a handful of questions across your subjects. It is not a test you can fail. It simply suggests a starting level (see Section 3), and you are free to pick a different one.

One account, one device at a time. If you sign in on a second device while already signed in somewhere else, EduJA will ask whether to sign the other device out. This keeps your own account — and your own progress — yours.

2. Finding Your Lessons

Click 📚 Curriculum in the navigation bar, then your grade, then a subject — Language Arts, Mathematics, Science, Social Studies, or Spanish. Every subject is broken into numbered lessons that follow the curriculum for your grade in order (the National Standards Curriculum for Grades 7–9, and CSEC-level content for Grades 10–11), so working through them from Lesson 1 onward covers your syllabus properly. You can also jump straight to a grade by tapping its card on the homepage, or tap 🔍 Search to find a lesson by its title or topic.

Grades 12 and 13 (sixth form). Jamaica's National Standards Curriculum (NSC) covers Grades 1–9, and Grades 10–11 follow the CXC CSEC syllabuses. There is no single Ministry of Education curriculum for Grades 12 and 13 (sixth form) — students there follow CXC's CAPE syllabuses or another approved pathway, chosen subject by subject. EduJA's Grade 12 and 13 lessons are CAPE-level enrichment in our five subject areas. They are not a unit-by-unit match for any one CAPE syllabus, so use them alongside your school's syllabus and your teacher's guidance, not instead of them.

3. Choosing Your Level: Beginner, Intermediate, or Advanced

Every subject at every grade comes in three levels, each with its own 100 lessons. Use the three buttons at the top of a subject's lesson list to switch between them.

Not sure which one fits? On your grade's subject screen, tap 🎯 Not sure where to start? Take a 2-minute check for a quick recommendation. Your progress is tracked separately for each level, so trying a different level never erases what you have already done.

4. Pacing Yourself: How Much, and in What Order

New to EduJA? Don't try to finish one subject's 100 lessons before opening the next — work all five of your subjects a little at a time instead, the same way your actual school timetable does. Your school is teaching you Science in October whether or not you've "finished" Mathematics on EduJA yet, so rotating through all five subjects regularly keeps you on pace with what you're actually being taught, instead of falling behind everywhere except wherever you started.

Inside a single subject, it's the opposite: work the lessons in order — Lesson 1, then 2, then 3 — since later lessons build on what came before. See Study Tips for more on both of these.

A good rhythm to aim for: one lesson per subject per sitting — watch its video, then do that lesson's own quiz right after, while it's fresh — most days of the week, rather than one long session once a week. Each level of a subject has 100 lessons spread across 3 terms, so at around 2–3 lessons a week per subject you'll comfortably clear a term's worth (about 33–34 lessons) within the term itself, with your 📝 Assessment checkpoints landing naturally every 6–7 lessons or so.

5. Taking a Lesson

Open any lesson to watch its video and read through its content, then answer the short quiz at the end. Every lesson has its own video. Tap ▶️ Listen if you would like the lesson read aloud. Each quiz is drawn fresh from a larger pool of questions for that lesson, so redoing a lesson gives you new questions to try. Quiz scores are saved automatically to your account — you can see them later in your Achievements and in Past Grade History on your Account page after you're promoted to a new grade. Getting a quiz question wrong isn't a dead end: the explanation shown after each question is there to teach you something, and on wrong practice/quiz answers you'll often see an ✨ Explain Further button that asks EduJA's AI helper to break the answer down differently.

🤖 AI Tutor. On a paid plan, each lesson also has an Ask the AI Tutor about this lesson button. It answers questions about the lesson you have open — nothing else — and you get a small number of messages each day, so use them on what is really confusing you. For anything bigger, message your teacher (Section 11).

6. Cumulative Assessments

Click 📝 Assessment to find whole-subject practice tests for Grades 7–13 — 3 terms × 5 assessments per subject, matching how most Jamaican schools structure their school year. Pick a term and an assessment number, answer every question, and submit for your score. Your best score per assessment is shown right on the card, and every attempt is saved under Your Past Attempts at the bottom of the page so you (and, if you have one, your teacher) can see how you're doing over time.

7. Practice Questions and Speed Round

Click 🎯 Practice for open-ended practice — a separate, constantly growing question bank for Grades 7–13 that you can draw from at any time. Pick a subject, optionally narrow it down to one topic, choose how many questions you want (5–20), and get a fresh random set every time. If you've done enough practice for weak spots to show up, a 📉 Your Weak Areas panel appears at the top with a one-click "Practice this" button aimed straight at your lowest-scoring topics — that's usually the most efficient way to spend a short practice session.

Want something faster? ⚡ Speed Round on the same page is a 60-second timed challenge with a streak bonus and a personal best to beat.

8. Vocabulary Game and Exam Prep

🎮 Vocab Game gives you Flashcards and a Matching Game for the key terms in each subject (Grades 7–13) — a quick way to lock in vocabulary in a few spare minutes.

🎓 Exam Prep holds EduJA's own practice packs, included with a paid plan: exam-length sets for Grade 11 (CSEC) and Grade 12 (CAPE), end-of-term Checkpoint packs for Grades 7–10, and an Exam Success Guide. Every pack comes with a full answer key and explanations.

9. Achievements

Open 🎓 My EduJA → Achievements to see your own milestones — lessons completed, practice questions answered, assessments taken, hours studied, your longest study streak, and a few special badges like Perfect Score and Subject Explorer. Every number there comes straight from your real activity; nothing is invented just to look impressive, so a badge you've earned is one you've actually earned.

10. Tracking Your Progress

Click 📊 Dashboard → Overall Progress at any time to see a summary of how far you've gotten across your subjects. If a parent or guardian's email is on file (see Account below), they can also opt in to a short weekly progress email — that's entirely optional and off by default.

11. Getting Help From a Teacher

Depending on your plan, you may have a teacher assigned to your account. If you do, buttons for 💬 Chat, 📞 Call, 🎥 Video Call, and 📅 Book Session appear in the top bar once you're signed in. Chat messages are visible to you, your teacher, and EduJA admins — that's a safety measure, not a privacy gap, and it's the same for every student. Booking a session lets you pick an open time slot from your teacher's calendar in advance instead of trying to catch them live. Live 1-on-1 tutoring time is paid for with prepaid tutoring credits, sold in 1, 5, and 10-hour bundles on the Plans page.

12. Your Account

Open 🎓 My EduJA → Profile (or the 👤 Account button on most pages) to update your profile photo, username, email, or password — changing any of these requires typing your current password first, as a safety check. This is also where you can add or remove a parent/guardian contact email, and, once you've been promoted to a new grade, review your Past Grade History from earlier years.

13. Refer a Friend

Open 🎓 My EduJA (or your Account page) to find your own referral code and a shareable link. Send it to a friend — they can use your link, or type your code into the Referral or Partner Code box when they register. If they sign up and stay an active EduJA family for a few months, your referral qualifies. That short wait just makes sure it's rewarding real EduJA families, not just link clicks.

Once a referral qualifies: if you already have a paid plan, EduJA adds a free month to your subscription automatically; if you don't, EduJA adds a bonus credit (shown as J$ on your account) that you can put toward a plan later. A newly referred student also gets their own small welcome bonus on their first paid order. You can check your pending, qualified, and rewarded referrals any time from the same place you found your code.

14. Plans & Subscriptions

Tap 📋 Plans or 🛒 Cart at any time to see what's available — a single subject, a full grade, or a Family Plan covering more than one student. Your plan decides which lessons, assessments, and practice questions you can open; anything outside your plan shows a 🔒 Subscribe to unlock button instead of blocking the page entirely, so you can always see what you're missing.

At checkout, if none of the standard prices quite fit, look for the Pay a Different Amount option — you (or a parent) can propose your own amount along with a short note explaining why, and our team reviews it before the order is confirmed.

15. If Something Goes Wrong
