Coursebook turns a textbook or slide deck you upload into a course: lessons, flashcards and quizzes. Tutoring programs also use it to run their classes, scores, diagnostics and messages.

A tutoring program (for example, a school's SAT program) that runs its classes on Coursebook. You join one through your tutor's invite link or class code. If you're not in one, you can still make your own courses.

Open the invite link your tutor sent, or go to Classes and enter the class code. If you're new, sign up first; you come straight back to the class.

It's your starting score: your latest PSAT, SAT or practice test. Your progress is measured from it. Add it under SAT scores. No score yet? Choose "I'll take the diagnostic"; its result becomes your baseline.

An estimate of where you are today, from your recent scores and practice. It isn't an official SAT score; it's there to show your direction.

They're timed like the digital SAT: in each section, how you do on module 1 decides whether module 2 is harder or easier. The clock keeps running if you close the page, so start when you have the full time. You get one attempt unless your tutor allows another.

On SAT scores → Add a score: enter the totals, then (optional) the Knowledge and Skills bands from your score report (each content area shows 1 to 7 boxes). For a Bluebook practice test, open its question review in College Board's My Practice, copy the table and paste it in: the site reads each question's area, skill and whether you got it right (never the question itself). Your misses go into your mistake log, and Where to focus shows your weakest areas.

Every question you miss comes back after 1, 3, 7 and 16 days until you've got it right twice in a row. Questions from outside tests come back as similar practice. Open Mistake log for a few minutes most days.

Your tutor links to questions on College Board's own Question Bank. You answer them there, then come back and say how it went. We never copy official questions.

Yes. Math questions have a Desmos button, like on the real test.

You and the tutor you're writing to. Your program admin can also read conversations in your program, to keep everyone safe.

Your tutors for your class (some only for their subject or group) and your program admin. Other students never see your scores; there are no leaderboards.

SAT scores → "Download all your tutoring records". To delete your account, go to Settings → Delete account.

Teachers: everything in their class. Specialists: only the subjects and/or student groups they're given (student tutors are specialists limited to their group). Viewers: read-only reports. Your program admin runs the program and manages staff.

Staff can see student data, so an authenticator-app code is required at login. Set it up under Settings → Two-factor login. Lost your phone? Use a backup code, or ask your program admin to reset it.

A class's Assign tab: lessons from your courses, worksheet questions (upload a PDF under Worksheets first), College Board questions by link, and diagnostics. Each can go to the whole class, groups or chosen students.

No. Drafted questions and lessons wait in Teaching → Review queue until someone approves them, and you can confirm or override any grade Claude gives a written answer.

Yes: class → Scores → Import College Board score reports. Upload a CSV from College Board's reporting portal or our template (email, test, date, total, section scores and each area's band 1–7). Press Check to see what will happen, then Add. Students are matched by email. Each student's page then shows their weak spots, and the class's Skills tab shows which areas are hardest for the most students.

Each class has Scores (gain, on track, stalling), Skills (weakest skills), Alerts (overdue work, dropping scores, inactive, absences) and Attendance. The program admin also has the program dashboard.

No. The site refuses them; questions must be original or licensed. Link to College Board's Question Bank instead.

Use Report a problem at the bottom of any page. It sends the page and recent error codes to the site admin, never what you've typed.
