How it works

Little and often wins

A few minutes of practice every day, a challenge every week, and formal exams when it counts. Here’s how the portal works.

Getting started

1
Create your account
Fill in your details and your school. Under 18? A parent or guardian adds their details and agrees.
2
Confirm your email
We email you a 5-character code to confirm your address. After that, you sign in with your email and password.
3
Get verified
The Foundation checks your registration with your school. Quizzes and challenges are open straight away.

Every day

Five questions a day for your class band, in general knowledge, maths, financial literacy, digital literacy and civic education.
Each quiz is timed, and you answer the questions in order. When you finish (or time runs out) you see your score, charts and the right answers with explanations.
A new quiz opens at midnight West Africa Time.

Every week

One timed challenge from Monday to Sunday against students in your class band.
Your score decides your place on the weekly leaderboard; ties go to whoever finished faster.
Everyone who takes part earns points, and higher scores earn more.

Monthly or termly

Open for a set window: check the exam schedule. Some exams are for verified students only.
Answers save as you go, and the timer keeps counting even if you refresh. When it ends, the exam submits itself and your result appears straight away.
Results measure progress, rank participants and help decide scholarships. Certificates are issued for exams that award them.

Miss a day and your streak starts again, so a quick quiz every day pays off.

Sit exams on your own, without notes, phones or help, unless the instructions say otherwise.
Answer each question before moving to the next. You can go back to change an answer.
Stay on the page. You get a warning each time you leave it. A formal exam ends after 2 leaves, and a daily quiz or weekly challenge after 4; either way your challenges and exams are paused until the Foundation reviews your appeal.
Copying and pasting are switched off during exams.
Questions and options are shuffled, so every student’s paper is in a different order.

Every certificate has a code anyone can check on the verify page.
