Everything Student

Tips

Short, practical ways to get more out of Everything Student, grouped by where you'll use them.

Getting Started

What works right away, and what an account adds.

No Account Needed

Everything works as a guest. What you add is saved in this browser, on this device. On a guest dashboard, Back to Welcome Page takes you to the page that introduces the site.

Sync with a Free Account

Create a free account from the profile menu to keep your workspace on every device. Sign up on a device you've been using and everything on it comes with you.

Follow the Checklist

New here? The Getting Started card on Home walks you through adding a class, an assignment and a flashcard deck. Close it any time.

Tips Show Up Once

After you sign in, short tips point out the main controls on each page. Each one appears once, on every device you use.

Search Everything

The search bar at the top finds pages, tools, guides and templates, and your own classes, assignments and decks.

Home & Widgets

Make your Home screen show what matters to you first.

  1. Tap the pencil
  2. Move or resize a widget
  3. Tap Done
Edit your layout: tap the pencil, move or resize a widget, then tap Done.
  1. Hold the edge
  2. Slide to a place
  3. Let go to jump there
On a phone, the edge of the screen lists the places on the page.

Arrange Your Dashboard

Tap the pencil on Home to edit the layout. On a computer, drag a widget to move it, or drag a corner or edge to resize it. On a phone, drag widgets into the order you want. Undo steps back and Done saves. Your computer and your phone each keep their own layout.

Pick Widget Colors

While you edit the layout, the palette button on a widget picks its color, and the Colors row picks one for all of them. Turn widget borders on or off there too.

Add More Widgets

Open the Widget Library while you edit the layout to add a widget, such as School Year, Breaks & Holidays or Campus Map, or to see what's already on your dashboard.

Edit Inside a Widget

Turn on a widget's edit mode to change or remove items without leaving Home. While it's on, tap an item to open it.

Quick Jump (Phones)

Tap the edge of the screen, or press and hold low on it, to list the places on the page. Slide to one and let go, or tap it. On Home that's your widgets; on other pages it's their sections, classes or cards. Choose its side in Settings.

Your Navigation

In Settings, under Navigation, reorder or hide the pages in the sidebar and the bottom bar. High Contrast Sidebar makes the sidebar links easier to read.

Planner & Calendar

See your week the way you like and take it with you.

Swipe the Planner sideways to move through your days, weeks or months.

Agenda or Calendar

Switch between the agenda list and the calendar at the top of the Planner. In the calendar, pick Day, Week or Month.

Swipe Through Time

Swipe left or right on the Planner to see the next or previous day, week or month. With a mouse or trackpad, drag or scroll sideways.

Back to Today

Tap Today to jump back to the current day. It lands in the middle of the view, so you can see what's around it.

Add It to Your Calendar App

Export to Calendar on the Planner adds your classes, activities, assignments and tests to Google Calendar, Outlook, Apple Calendar or your phone's calendar. With an account, subscribe instead and changes show up there on their own.

Make the Week Yours

In Settings, choose the day your week starts on, show only the work week and pick the view the Planner opens in.

School Year & Terms

Set up your school year once, and everything else follows it.

Your school year: its terms, a break your classes skip, and where today falls.

Set Up Your School Year

On the School page, add your school year and how it's split: semesters, trimesters, quarters or terms of your own. Add summer or a J-term as extra terms.

Breaks Skip Class Days

Add Thanksgiving, spring break or any day off under Breaks & Holidays, and your classes skip those days on the Planner and in calendar exports.

Classes Follow Their Terms

When you add a class or activity, pick the terms it runs in instead of typing dates. If you change a term later, you're asked before your calendar moves.

Keep Your Campus Map

With an account, add a photo or PDF of your campus map on the School page. Open it full screen to zoom in and move around.

Your School on Home

The School Year, Breaks & Holidays and Campus Map widgets show the days left in the term, your next break and your map right on Home.

Classes, Assignments & Tests

Keep each class, and everything due for it, in one place.

The Archive sorts everything by school year, then term, then class.

Everything for a Class in One Place

Tap a class card to open its workspace: notes, study decks, resources, assignments, tests and grades.

Track Your Progress

Tap an assignment's status pill to mark it Not Started, In Progress or Done. Done checks it off everywhere it appears.

Tests & Quizzes

Add upcoming tests and quizzes on the Tests & Quizzes page. They show on the Planner and on Home with the rest of your week.

Your To-Do List

The To Do page groups your to-dos by date and has a search. To keep checked-off to-dos out of the way, turn on Archive Completed To-Dos in Settings.

Archive Instead of Delete

Archive a class, assignment, test or deck you're done with to keep the record without the clutter. The Archive sorts everything by school year and term, with each class's work under it. Search it, or show one kind at a time.

Restore or Delete for Good

Tap Restore next to anything on the Archive page to put it back. Its ⋯ menu deletes it forever, and a whole year can be cleared at once.

Study Tools

Flashcards, quizzes, notes and a library of ready-made decks.

  1. Study: missed cards come back
  2. Quiz: see your score
  3. Review: flip through
Three ways to practice every deck.
Swipe a card, or drag it with a mouse, and it turns the way you swiped.

Study, Quiz or Review

Each deck has three ways to practice. Study brings missed cards back until you know them, Quiz tests you with a score, and Review just flips through. Study and Quiz build Mastery; Review never changes it.

Ready-Made Decks

Open the Study Card Library on the Study page for decks on chemistry, math, languages and more. Add one to your decks, or study it right away.

Tap or Swipe to Flip

Tap a card to see the answer, or swipe it left or right. With a mouse, drag it sideways. A deck's Flip button asks the back of each card first.

Your Session Keeps Its Place

A study session closes only with its X, never from a stray tap or Escape. Close it any time and you pick up where you left off.

Share a Deck

With an account, send any deck to a friend or your study group with one link.

Save a Tool's Result

Tools have a Save This Result button next to the answer. Saved results wait for you on the Library page.

Resources & Templates

Guides, reference sheets and printables, one tap away.

Guides and Reference Sheets

Resources has step-by-step Adulting guides and quick Reference sheets: formulas, units, citations and more. Search finds any of them by topic.

The Interactive Periodic Table

The Periodic Table Reference zooms and pans: pinch, use the + and − buttons, or scroll with a mouse. Tap an element for its details, or filter by type and state.

Print a Template on One Page

Pick your options and Page Setup, check the preview (zoom in, or use Fit Page), then Print. Every template prints on exactly one page. Tap the info button next to an option to see what it does.

Star What You Use

Tap the star on any page, tool, template or guide to add it to Favorites.

Account, Sync & Offline

Your workspace on every device, even without a connection.

  1. You go offline
  2. Changes wait on this device
  3. They sync when you're back
Offline changes wait on your device, then sync on their own.

Works Offline

Lose your connection and the site keeps working. Changes wait on this device and sync the moment you're back online.

New Versions

When a new version of the site is ready, a banner offers Refresh to Update. Nothing you've saved is lost.

See What's New

After a major update, a short What's New note lists the changes, each with its own icon. Every past update is on the What's New page, linked from Settings.

Themes That Follow Your Day

The site's look changes with the time of day. Tap the theme button in the top bar to pick a fixed theme instead, including dark mode.

Español

Switch the site to Spanish, or back to English, in Settings under Profile.

Send Feedback
