Quick Start Guide
Your first 15 minutes with EdisonOS
This walkthrough will get you up and running with EdisonOS quickly. You will learn how to preview content, assign tests to students, read reports, and manage your academy — all through easy-to-follow steps.

- Preview a Problem Set and understand its structure
- Preview a Practice Test before assigning it
- Assign a Practice Test or Problem Set to a student
- View student performance in Reports
- Explore the Console App to manage billing and academies
Preview a Problem Set
Problem Sets are short, targeted practice sessions focused on a specific skill or topic. Previewing one lets you check the questions before sending it to students.

The Problem Sets page inside a program — toggle between EdisonOS Library and My Library using the switcher at the top.
- In the left sidebar, click on a program — for example SAT or ACT.
- A dropdown will appear. Click on Problem Sets.
- The main area on the right shows all available Problem Sets. By default you are viewing the EdisonOS Library. Use the dropdown at the top to switch to My Library to see your custom content.
- Click on any Problem Set to open it.
- Review the topic, difficulty, and question types to confirm it fits your students' needs.
Preview a Practice Test
Practice Tests are full-length or sectional exams that simulate real test conditions. Previewing one lets you verify its structure, timing, and question coverage before assigning.

- Review the sections, question count, total time, and question types to confirm the test matches the exam format you want to simulate.
Assign a Practice Test or Problem Set
Once you have previewed a Practice Test or Problem Set, assigning it takes only a few clicks. The process is identical for both content types.

Reports inside a program — filter by student or test, then click a result to open the full breakdown.
- In the left sidebar, click on your program — for example SAT or ACT.
- From the dropdown, click on Reports.
- You will see all completed tests and problem sets for students in that program. Filter by student name or test name to find what you need.
-
Click on any result row to open the full breakdown:
- Overall score and section-level scores
- Time taken per section
- Question-by-question view — correct and incorrect answers highlighted
- Weak area summary — topics that need more practice
- Use the weak area data to decide which Problem Set to assign next for targeted remediation.

The individual result view — scores, time taken, and a question-by-question breakdown with weak-area analysis.
Explore the Console App
The Console App is a separate management layer where you handle billing, subscriptions, and the creation of additional academy apps. Your academy app — where you assign tests, manage students, and view reports — runs independently per subscription.
<img src="YOUR_IMAGE_URL_HERE" />
The Go to Console App button sits at the bottom of the left sidebar in your academy app.
- At the bottom of the left sidebar in your academy app, click Go to Console App.
-
The Console App opens. From here you can:
- Manage billing and subscriptions for each of your academies
- Create a new academy app — each academy is independent with its own programs, students, and reports
- Monitor the status of all your academies from one place
- To return to your academy, use the Console's academy switcher.

The Console App — manage billing, subscriptions, and create or switch between multiple academy apps.
You have completed the five core actions in EdisonOS — previewed content, assigned a test, reviewed student results, and explored the Console. Everything else in the platform builds on these same foundations.
