How to Use the NeuraGeek Dashboard and Subject Workspace

The dashboard is the starting point for most of NeuraGeek. It gives you a quick way back into your current subject, shows the study tools you use most often, keeps your day's plan visible and connects you to the account-level areas such as Subjects, Planner, Insights and Account. Once you open a subject, the subject workspace becomes the main study hub for that syllabus. It groups the learning, practice and paper tools in one place, then links the work you complete back into Progress. This tutorial focuses on how those two layers fit together rather than repeating the individual feature guides covered elsewhere.

1. Use the left-hand navigation to move around NeuraGeek

The main navigation stays simple: Home returns you to the dashboard, Subjects opens your subject list, Planner opens the AI Study Planner, Insights shows account-wide study activity, and Account contains your plan and personal settings. If you are not sure where a feature lives, this panel is the quickest way to orient yourself. The dashboard and subject pages handle day-to-day studying, while Planner, Insights and Account handle the wider organisation around that study.

2. Treat Home as your starting point, not just a statistics screen

The Home dashboard is designed to answer one question quickly: what should you do next? At the top, the main card shows your current streak and the subject NeuraGeek expects you to continue. The Continue button takes you back into that subject, while the shortcut row gives direct access to AI Tutor, Past Papers, Topicals, Quiz Room, Mocks, Test Builder and Data Bank without making you navigate through several menus first. The summary tiles underneath give a quick snapshot of recent activity, such as quizzes completed, questions attempted, average score and study time. The Try something new area is there when you want to change the type of revision you are doing rather than returning to the same tool again. These numbers are useful for context, but the dashboard is mainly a launch point: it should get you into the next study action quickly.

3. Switch curriculum only when you actually need to

The curriculum control at the top of the dashboard shows the qualification level currently active on the account. Selecting it opens the curriculum switcher, where supported streams such as IGCSE, O-Level and A-Level can be selected. Your plan covers one curriculum at a time, so this is not something you need to change every study session. Use it when you genuinely move between qualification levels. The switcher also makes an important point clear: saved work, quizzes and progress stay where they are. Changing curriculum changes the subject environment you are working in; it does not erase the work you already completed. The interface also tells you when another change is allowed, so you should not use curriculum switching as a way of jumping casually between streams.

4. Use the top-right controls for updates, suggestions and account options

The small controls at the top-right of the dashboard are for things around your study workflow rather than the study tools themselves. The light-bulb icon opens the suggestion form, where you can send a feature or improvement idea directly from the product. The bell opens Notifications, which is where NeuraGeek can surface product updates such as new subjects or newly released study features. Your profile button opens a compact account menu. From there you can go to My account, refer friends, change between Light, Dark and System appearance, open Help, replay the product tour or log out. These controls are useful when you need them, but they should stay secondary to the main study flow on the dashboard.

5. Use Today’s plan when you have scheduled study work

Further down the dashboard, Today's plan shows the sessions currently scheduled for the day. The calendar on the left gives the wider view, while the right side shows the actual task, time, duration, subject and action you can start. If the session came from the AI Study Planner, you can move directly from the plan into the relevant NeuraGeek activity instead of copying the task into another app. From the same section, you can mark work done, reschedule it or remove it when the plan changes. Plan with AI takes you back into the Study Planner, while Add lets you place another task onto the calendar yourself. The planner tutorial covers plan creation in depth; on the dashboard, the important point is that the plan becomes something you can actually act on.

6. Open Subjects when you want to choose the syllabus yourself

The dashboard often points you back to the subject you were already working on, but Subjects is the better route when you want to choose a different syllabus deliberately. Open the subject you need and NeuraGeek takes you into a subject-specific workspace. The subject code stays visible in the heading, which matters when similar subject names exist across qualifications.

7. Understand the three parts of a subject workspace

The subject page organises the main tools into Learn, Practise and Papers. Learn is where you go when the problem is understanding or recall: Ask the AI Tutor, Get your answer marked and Data Bank sit here. Practise is for structured work that tests what you know, including Quiz Room and the AI Mock generator. Papers is for exam-question work: full Past Papers, Topical Papers and Test Builder. The categories are useful because they tell you what kind of job each tool is meant to do. If you do not understand the concept, start in Learn. If you understand it but need repeated practice, move into Practise. If you are ready to work with real exam material or assemble a custom set, use Papers. You can still move freely between the tools; the categories simply stop the subject page from becoming one long list of unrelated features.

8. Use Progress when you want to review the subject, not continue studying

At the bottom of the subject page, View progress opens the subject-specific Progress area. That is where history, scores, weak topics, saved papers and starred items live. It is deliberately separate from the main tool cards because Progress is for reviewing what your study activity is showing, while the subject page itself is for choosing the next activity. The full Insights and Progress tutorial covers that system in detail.

9. Use My account for plan, curriculum and account settings

My account is where the administrative side of NeuraGeek lives. It shows personal information and the current plan, including billing cycle, curriculum and access period. Further down, it can show payment history, email preferences, security controls and quick actions. If you need to change curriculum, check plan information, reset your password or manage study-reminder emails, this is the place to do it rather than looking for those controls inside a subject. Account settings are not part of the normal revision loop, so you should rarely need to open this page while studying. It exists so the dashboard and subject workspace can stay focused on learning and practice.

A practical dashboard-to-subject workflow

If you are new to the workspace, keep the navigation simple:

1. Open Home and check what NeuraGeek is suggesting you continue.
2. Use a dashboard shortcut when you already know the tool you need, or choose Subjects when you want to pick the syllabus first.
3. Inside the subject, decide whether your job is to learn, practise or work with papers.
4. Open the relevant tool and complete the study activity there.
5. Return to the subject page when you want to switch to another type of work in the same syllabus.
6. Use View progress when you want to inspect scores, weak areas, history or saved work.
7. Use Today's plan on Home when your Study Planner has already scheduled the next task for you.
8. Use Insights for the account-wide picture and My account only when you need plan or account settings.

Do not over-navigate

NeuraGeek has several study tools, but you should not need to hunt through the interface every time you revise. Use Home when you want to continue quickly, Subjects when you want to choose the syllabus deliberately, and the subject page when you want to move between learning, practice and papers. The rest of the workspace supports those decisions: Planner schedules work, Insights and Progress help you interpret it, and Account manages the settings around it.

Put it into practice

Open Home and choose the subject you need today. If there is already a scheduled task in Today's plan, start there. Otherwise, enter the subject workspace and decide whether the problem is understanding, practice or exam-question work. Open the matching tool, complete one focused session and then use Progress later if you need to review what that session exposed. Once you understand that flow, the dashboard and subject workspace become less like separate pages and more like the two layers of the same study system.
