Teachers

From sign-in to live assignments.

Eight short steps.

  1. Create your teacher account

    Sign in with Google or email, then finish the quick teacher onboarding (just your name and school).

  2. Create a class

    Open Classes and create one. You get a 6-letter join code. Put it on the board and students join from their own devices.

  3. Turn your materials into questions

    In Create a Set, upload anything: PDFs, slides, docs, images, or pasted notes. AI drafts the questions; you can edit any of them or add your own.

  4. Assign it

    Open your class, pick a set, and set a due date. Students only ever see what's assigned to their class. Your sets live in Question Sets.

  5. Students play

    Students pick an arcade game and answer your questions as they play. Every answer is recorded automatically, so there is nothing to collect.

  6. See what to reteach

    Open Analytics on any assignment: class average, weakest topics ranked worst-first, and every student's answers. Press Create review and a fresh practice set is built from the weak topics. Assign it to the whole class or one student.

  7. Track your state standards

    In Standards, upload or paste your state standards document. AI reads it into an editable checklist of codes you can attach to any class. From then on, every question is matched to the standards it assesses automatically, and the class's Standards report shows mastery per code, so you always know what's covered, what's shaky, and what hasn't been touched yet.

    Every standard with live class accuracy, plus per standard, exactly which students are meeting it and which aren't yet.
  8. Set the rules for your class

    Open a class from Classes and choose Settings. Everything there is per class, so a first-period group can run differently from a sixth-period one.

    Class chat is one message board the whole class shares, good for questions the night before a test. You can switch it off entirely and it stays off. Student DMs are private messages to you: students can never DM each other, only a teacher of a class they are in. Profanity is filtered automatically, supervised child accounts have no messaging at all, and either side can report a conversation, which saves it for review even if the sender deletes their side.

    The same page controls weak-topic self-practice (students make their own extra practice on what they missed; it stays private to them and your analytics still only show the work you assigned) and whether free response is AI-graded during the game or waits until the game ends.

    Every switch is per class. Set them once, change them whenever.
  9. Race the whole class live

    On the Games page, press Live race to start a real-time race on any set. You get a 6-letter code; students enter it at zykostudy.com/join and everyone lines up on the same track.

    Answers drive the cars. A right answer speeds a student up, so the lead changes on knowledge rather than reflexes and a strong reader is not beaten by a fast tapper. You host and watch rather than drive, so you are free to read the room while it runs. A lobby holds up to 40, which covers a full class with room to spare, and the track widens as more students join.

    Students join with the code and you watch the field. A right answer moves a car up the track, so the running order is the class answering.
