Student guide
A challenge is a conversation where your questions, evidence, revisions, and explanations are the work. This guide covers each screen in the order you use it.
How to use this guide
This guide is divided into numbered workflows. Each workflow is a task made of numbered steps, and workflows appear in the order you first need them.
Workflow 1
Your teacher gives you a class code (it looks like XXXX-XXXX) or a join link. Open the portal and choose Create account, then create your sign-in with your email address and a password in the window that opens. Back in the portal, Finish setting up your account asks for a display name, your date of birth (you must be at least 13), and the Class code from your teacher. A join link fills the code in for you. The code is required in the beta: it places you in your teacher's class, and your assignments appear on the dashboard. If your school set up your account for you, skip this and sign in below.
Open the address from your teacher or institution and choose Sign in on the portal card.
Sign in opens the sign in form in its own window. Enter the email address your school or teacher used to create your account. When sign-in finishes, the window closes and you return to the portal.
Sign in with the temporary password from your administrator. The sign in form asks you to set a new password, and the temporary password then stops working. If you did not receive one, select Forgot password? and use the emailed one-time code. No one in the portal can see your password.
On later sign-ins, enter the password you chose in the sign in form. If you forgot it, choose Forgot password?; the portal cannot reset it.
The sign-in window closes by itself. The portal tab, which has been waiting behind it, loads your dashboard. Nothing needs to be clicked in between.
Read the privacy policy and terms of use, tick both boxes, and choose Agree. You are asked again when either document changes.
Workflow 2
The dashboard lists your assignments under "Challenges". Each assignment keeps its progress on its row.
Each row shows a type, status, progress, and action. The status can be Not started, In progress, or Completed; dates can read Opens, Due, or Closed. A canceled assignment reads Cancelled, and its stopped session reads "Cancelled by your teacher". A run you paused reads Paused. Some challenges have an age rating for mature topics. If a row carries a line such as Not available (age 16+) and its start button cannot be chosen, the next challenge in it is rated above your age, or no date of birth is recorded on your account, and there is nothing you can start there. Ask your teacher if you think your date of birth is missing or wrong.
Start challenge begins new work, Resume reopens a current run, and Review opens its report. The portal blocks work outside the Open At and Close At window.
Search by assignment title. Include completed and Include expired show hidden work.
The list shows ten assignments per page. Prev, Next, and the page label appear when needed.
If you open a teacher's join link when your account already exists, the dashboard shows "You have a class code waiting from your teacher's link" with a Join a class button. Choose it to join that class too; see Joining another class.
Workflow 3
Start challenge creates and opens the session. If you already have that challenge open, you go back to it instead of starting it again.
The agent gives the scenario and task. The status shows In progress, and each turn names its speaker. The How this challenge works panel names the type and links to its full requirements and scoring reference. A challenge with a time limit shows the minutes allowed and the minutes used under its title; the minutes used update each time you send a turn rather than ticking, and when the limit is reached the challenge ends and is scored on the work done.
Enter your response and choose Send response. The Options page controls Enter-key behavior.
Your turn appears immediately as Sending... and the response box locks while the agent replies. The conversation keeps its newest turn in view, then the confirmed reply appears beneath yours.
You get two attempts at each challenge. Going back to a challenge you already have open does not use another attempt. If you leave an assigned challenge unfinished twice, the assignment moves you on to the next challenge. You can start up to five new challenges a day (the day resets at midnight UTC). Picking up a run you already started does not count toward that. When you reach a limit, the portal tells you so: "You have used all attempts for this challenge." or "Daily challenge limit reached. Try again tomorrow."
Your teacher also sets a turn limit on each assignment: the most responses you can send in one run. The run screen does not count your turns down. When you send the last one allowed, the agent gives a closing reply, the challenge finishes, and it is scored on the work so far, the same as a challenge that finishes on its own.
Types appear on library cards, assignment cards, in the run screen header, and in the How this challenge works panel at the top of every session. Each type runs the conversation by its own rules and is graded differently; see the challenge types reference for what each one asks of you.
Explain why evidence matters, name uncertainty, and revise your view when the conversation gives you a reason.
Workflow 4
Your session saves as you work. Choose Pause beside Send response to stop on purpose: the response box is replaced by a PAUSED panel with a Resume button. You can also choose Dashboard or close the tab without saving.
The row reads In progress, or Paused if you paused it, shows your turn count, and offers Resume.
Resume restores the conversation and response box where you left off.
Workflow 5
The agent ends the reasoning session. The response box becomes a result panel.
The panel shows a score and summary, with a See full report button. Use it to open the full report: your score, a written summary, dimension scores with a rationale for each, what to practice next when the evaluation named something, and the transcript.
A finished challenge is marked Completed and offers Review, which reopens the full report. Choose Include completed if the row is hidden.
Workflow 6
On a wide screen the panel stays open on the left; on a narrow screen choose the menu button. The panel contains Dashboard, Notifications, Feedback, Join a class, Options, About, and Sign out. The bell in the header also opens Notifications and shows how many are unread.
If a teacher gives you a code for a second class, choose Join a class, enter the code, and choose Join. The page confirms the class you joined, and its work appears on your dashboard.
Choose light, dark, or system theme. The choice is remembered.
Choose whether Enter sends or starts a new line.
Your school manages your account and your work, so there is no delete button for students. To have your account and personal data erased, ask your teacher or your school's administrator; they can erase it from the admin portal. Erasing is permanent. See the Privacy Policy for what is erased.
Sign out ends your session and returns to the sign-in card. Use it on a shared machine.
Internal agent instructions and checkpoint rules stay hidden during an active challenge.
