A simple guide. No jargon. If you can read this sentence, you can use 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.
5 steps. Takes about 2 minutes.
Click "Create account" at the top of the page. Type your name, email, and a password. That's 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.
Click any lesson that looks interesting, or the one your teacher assigned. Each one takes about 5 minutes to read.
After each lesson, answer a few easy questions. Get one wrong? No problem — we show you the right answer and explain why, every time.
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.
4 steps to your first class. For the full guide, see the Educator Playbook.
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.
From your Teacher Dashboard, click "Create Class." QuantAim gives you a code automatically — you don't have to make one up.
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.
Pick a lesson, or a whole module, and click Assign. Every student gets a notification the moment you do.
No class, no teacher, no problem.
Same as everyone else — click "Create account" at the top of the page.
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.
Each lesson leads to the next. Your progress is saved automatically, so you can stop anytime and pick up right where you left off.
Everything explained in one short sentence.
A short code from your teacher that puts you in their class.
A score from 0 to 100 that shows how well you know a topic. 100 means you've really got it.
A pretend $10,000 account where you practice buying and selling — no real money involved.
A short page that teaches you one idea, followed by a few quiz questions.
A group of related lessons, like a chapter in a book. There are 20 in total.
Where a teacher sees how their whole class is doing, all in one place.
QuantAim has more than just lessons. Here's the full list, in plain words.
One quick practice round a day on whatever you're weakest at.
Play the Fed Chair, run a business, or manage a crisis — pretend scenarios, real decisions.
Step into real moments in history — Amazon in 2001, GameStop in 2021 — and make the call yourself.
Argue a side of a real question and see what your classmates think.
Compete with your class, school, or students everywhere — for learning, not for risky trades.
Finish enough of a subject and earn a real certificate you can print or share.
A timed practice test that tells you exactly what to study next.
Answer in your own words and get graded instantly, with real feedback.
Every practice question on the site, searchable in one place.
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.
Yes. Every school plan starts with a free 30-day trial — no credit card needed. See For Schools to start one.
$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.
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.
