How QuantAim Works

A simple guide. No jargon. If you can read this sentence, you can use QuantAim.

What is QuantAim?

QuantAim teaches you how investing really works. You read short lessons, answer easy questions, and practice with a pretend $10,000 — not real money, so you can't actually lose anything. It's free for students and teachers in a school class. Learning on your own? Your first 2 lessons are free, then a QuantAim Pro subscription unlocks the rest.

For Students: getting started

5 steps. Takes about 2 minutes.

Make an account

Click "Create account" at the top of the page. Type your name, email, and a password. That's it.

Got a code from your teacher? Enter it.

Click "Join a Class." Type the code your teacher gave you. Now you're in the class, and your teacher can see your progress.

Open a lesson

Click any lesson that looks interesting, or the one your teacher assigned. Each one takes about 5 minutes to read.

Answer the quiz

After each lesson, answer a few easy questions. Get one wrong? No problem — we show you the right answer and explain why, every time.

Try the Portfolio Simulator

Practice buying and selling with a pretend $10,000. It's not real money, so you can't lose anything real — it's just for practice.

For Teachers: getting started

4 steps to your first class. For the full guide, see the Educator Playbook.

Make an account, then ask for teacher access

Sign up like anyone else. Then go to your Account page and click "Request Teacher Access." An admin turns it on, usually the same day.

Create a class

From your Teacher Dashboard, click "Create Class." QuantAim gives you a code automatically — you don't have to make one up.

Give the code to your students

Write it on the board, say it out loud, or email it. Students type it into "Join a Class," and they show up on your roster right away.

Assign something

Pick a lesson, or a whole module, and click Assign. Every student gets a notification the moment you do.

Learning on Your Own

No class, no teacher, no problem.

Make an account

Same as everyone else — click "Create account" at the top of the page.

Start with Lesson 1

Go to the Academy page and click "Start Lesson 1." It always picks the right lesson for you — you never have to guess where to begin.

Keep going, one lesson at a time

Each lesson leads to the next. Your progress is saved automatically, so you can stop anytime and pick up right where you left off.

Words you'll see

Everything explained in one short sentence.

Join code

A short code from your teacher that puts you in their class.

Mastery

A score from 0 to 100 that shows how well you know a topic. 100 means you've really got it.

Portfolio Simulator

A pretend $10,000 account where you practice buying and selling — no real money involved.

Lesson

A short page that teaches you one idea, followed by a few quiz questions.

Module

A group of related lessons, like a chapter in a book. There are 20 in total.

Teacher Dashboard

Where a teacher sees how their whole class is doing, all in one place.

Everything else you can do

QuantAim has more than just lessons. Here's the full list, in plain words.

Common questions

Do I have to pay?

Not if you're a student or teacher in a school class — every lesson is free. Learning on your own outside of a class? Your first 2 lessons are free, then QuantAim Pro ($6.99/mo or $49.99/yr) unlocks the rest, plus a completion certificate.

Does my school get a free trial?

Yes. Every school plan starts with a free 30-day trial — no credit card needed. See For Schools to start one.

How much does a school plan cost?

$199/year for one teacher's classroom, or about $3,000/year for a whole school — that's a 500-student high school at $6 per student per year, so it scales with your enrolment. Districts get a custom quote. Full details on the For Schools page.

How do I know when my teacher assigns something?

You'll see a popup in the corner of your Academy page the moment they assign it — click it to jump straight to the new lesson.

Is the money real?

No. The Portfolio Simulator uses pretend money. You cannot lose or win real money on QuantAim.

What if I get a quiz question wrong?

Nothing bad happens. We show you the correct answer and explain why, so you learn from it and move on.

What if I forget my password?

Click "Log in," then "Forgot password." We'll email you a link to set a new one.

Can I use QuantAim on my phone?

Yes. QuantAim works in any web browser, on a phone, tablet, or computer.

I'm not in a class. Can I still use QuantAim?

Yes. You don't need a teacher or a join code — just make an account and start with Lesson 1.

How do I know what to do next?

Look for the "Start Here" or "Continue" button on the Academy page — it always tells you exactly what to do next.

I'm a teacher — where's the full guide?

See the Educator Implementation Playbook for classroom workflows and lesson-plan ideas.
