Frequently Asked Questions
We've done our best to answer any questions you might have about the site below. If you can't find the answer to your question, contact our customer support using the chat service, or email us at info@studyclix.ie.
About Studyclix
Studyclix is a website set up in Ireland to make it easier for students to study and teachers to teach. We are always working on creating new and innovative features for our users, and our goal is to make a high standard of education and learning accessible and affordable.
We offer all Leaving Cert and Junior Cycle subjects into topics, and for each topic, we offer all the past exam questions, mock questions, videos, notes, learning tools, and more.
Student Pricing and Upgrades
We charge a small fee (about the cost of 1 grind for a whole year!) in order to maintain and continuously improve the site for you, as well as bring new technologies and resources to the site.
Because we employ some amazing people to carry out this work, the process, unfortunately, can't be carried out for free, which is why we ask for a little payment in return for what we supply.
Please consult our pricing page to get a full overview of your upgrade options. You can use our Basic (free) account for as long as you like, or, if you'd like, you can upgrade to Plus (€49.99) or Premium (€74.99).
No problem, you can still get Premium by upgrading your Plus account for an additional €25. Just go to the pricing page to upgrade.
It's important to note that if you upgrade a Plus account to a Premium account, your Premium access will expire on the same date as your Plus access, regardless of when you purchased the Premium upgrade. You can find out when your Plus access will expire in your settings or on the pricing page. Please contact us if you have any questions about this.
Yes, regardless of how you got a Plus account, you can still upgrade to Premium by going to your pricing page and choosing to upgrade to Premium for the reduced price of €25
Yes, we think so! €49.99 is less than the price of most grinds. Using Studyclix is one of the best ways you can prepare yourself for your exams. Studying using past exam questions has been shown to be the most effective way to prepare. Studyclix saves you time by giving you everything you need to study a subject, one topic at a time. 97% of students who used Studyclix Plus and Premium stated that they felt it had helped them improve their grades.
No - a Plus or Premium account gives you full access to all your subjects with an upper limit of twelve subjects.
When logged in, you can enter your code or voucher by going to your dashboard or to the pricing page, and entering your code where it says, 'enter a code'.
Our secure server accepts all major credit cards and laser cards. You can also pay using your Paypal account. If you want to pay us in any other way (cheque, postal order etc.) please contact us.
We currently don't offer free trials to users as we believe that a Basic account serves as a free trial by giving a taste of what the fully upgraded account is like.
No, don't worry, each payment you make is a once-off and you won't be charged automatically the following year unless you choose to pay again yourself.
Boost
No, in order to access all the Boost videos, you must purchase the Boost add-on for the subject. It is not included in the Plus or Premium upgrade as it is a separate offering.
We decided to make Boost a separate product to Plus and Premium so that users don’t feel pressured to buy either of these products if they only want access to Boost.
Any Boost add-on lasts for the duration of the school year (until July 1st).
No, you can buy a Boost subject add-on without having to buy Plus or Premium. While we recommend you do so that you get the best chance possible to study with the best resources, it is not necessary, and you can stay on Basic while having a Boost add-on.
Currently, Boost is available in the following subjects and levels:
- Leaving Cert Biology, higher level only
- Leaving Cert Maths, higher and ordinary level
- Junior Cycle Maths, higher and ordinary level
Currently we have Boost in the following:
- LC Maths
- LC Biology
- JC Maths
We'll be adding more subjects soon so stay tuned. Don't hesitate to get in touch via info@studyclix.ie to let us know which subjects you'd like to see Boost in the most.
Your Upgrade
All upgrades will expire at the end of the school year (July 1st). You can double-check your upgrade's expiry date via your settings or on the pricing page.
If your upgrade has disappeared from your account before you were expecting it to, there are a couple of questions you can ask yourself to try and get to the bottom of it:
- Are you logged in to the correct account? Some users set up 2 accounts without realising. We recommend trying to log in with any other email address you might have and see if a second account is still upgraded.
- Did you upgrade to Premium from Plus? If so, remember that your Premium will only last as long as your original Plus upgrade, so they will expire at the same time (at the expiry of the Plus upgrade).
- Are you viewing content that you purchased access to? Some features and subjects might not be available to you on your plan, so make sure that you have the correct access according to your plan and update your settings if necessary.
Our plans expire at the end of each school year (1st July). You will then be returned to a Basic account unless you choose to upgrade again.
Your Account
No. Studyclix does not support multiple users on one account and doing so is a breach of our terms of use and can result in the removal of your upgrade. We recommend every student set up their own personal account.
Lots of our features are personal to the user, so sharing would not allow you to make effective use of our site.
Studyclix is set up such that a student must select their subjects. This does not allow users to include both Junior Cycle and Leaving Cert subjects on the same account.
If there is more than one student in your family requiring Plus or Premium access, we understand that this can become expensive, so if you contact us (info@studyclix.ie), we can assess your situation and do our best to provide you with a discount code to get a reduced rate on your multiple upgrades.
Simple! Just click on the 'Forgot password?' link when trying to log in. This will send a code to your email inbox which you can enter to create a new password and successfully log in again.
If you no longer need or want your account, you can go to your settings (top right-hand corner), scroll down to Account Settings, and click 'I want to close my account'. If you're having trouble, contact us and we'll delete it for you.
Using Studyclix
There's no perfect answer to this as every student is different! We recommend starting by reading this blog about different study methods and trying a few out to see what works best for you.
We then recommend making a plan to organise your study into manageable chunks - this makes it much easier to achieve your goals.
Using past exam questions on Studyclix is a great way to study as you are preparing for the real thing and identifying gaps in your knowledge. Support your revision with quizzes, flashcards and video tutorials, all found on Studyclix!
To mute the sounds of the quiz, we recommend temporarily muting your browser tab. You can do this by right-clicking on the Studyclix tab in your browser and choosing to mute the site.
For Teachers
It is indeed! Each school has a teacher upgrade code that gives free Plus access to teachers in that school, so you do not have to pay.
We depend on teachers to spread the word about Studyclix to their students. In return for free access to all our features, we appreciate your help in telling people about us if you like what we do.
If you don't know your school's teacher upgrade code and have signed up more than 24 hours ago, contact us stating your name, school, and teaching council registration number and we will issue you with the code needed to upgrade.
If you signed up less than 24 hours ago, please wait for an email from us where we'll send you approval and upgrade your account.
Regardless of whether you qualify for free Plus access for teachers or not, you should hear back from us within 24 hours of setting up your account. If you don't hear from us after then, please get in touch at info@studyclix.ie.
Please get in touch with schools@studyclix.ie if you are a teacher and would like to learn more about how you can get discount codes for your students.
Of course! SNAs and guidance counsellors are more than welcome to set up a teacher account with us. Get in touch at info@studyclix.ie if you're having trouble registering your account.
There are a few reasons this might be happening:
- Your account is already upgraded (you can see if you're on Plus via your settings)
- Your school is incorrect (check your settings)
- Your account is set up as a student (check your settings)
If you need any settings changed, please contact us at info@studyclix.ie
For Schools
Yes! We offer school-wide licences to give all teachers and all students full access to Studyclix Plus or Premium accounts at a heavily discounted rate (from €10 per student). Please contact schools@studyclix.ie for more details.
Yes. One of our main goals is to make Studyclix accessible to all students, so we provide even bigger discounts on school licences for DEIS schools. Just get in touch with schools@studyclix.ie to get a quote for your school.

Refunds
Unfortunately, we cannot provide refunds in this scenario.
Sorry to hear that! We would love to know why.
Get in touch with us at info@studyclix.ie letting us know why you are unhappy with your upgrade, and we will assess your account activity/purchase history and see if you are eligible for a refund.
Technical Issues
There are a few reasons why a code won't work:
a) the code is already activated. If this is the case, please check with the person who issued you a code and make sure the code they gave you is correct. If issues persist, please contact us with the code in question.
b) the code will only activate on a certain account type. For example, a teacher code will not work if you are on a student account, or your school code will not work if you are registered under the wrong school. Please check your account settings and check that everything is correct. If you're still having trouble, contact us with the code in question.
Please try a few of the following troubleshooting options. If they don't work, contact us with your account details and we'll try to solve the problem asap!
- Change browser. Our site works best on Google Chrome so we recommend using that.
- Clear your cache and cookies. Sometimes the issue will disappear once you clear these.
- Check that you are using the right account. Some people have more than one account without realising and one of the accounts is not fully set up and is more prone to errors/issues.
If that does not fix it, please contact us immediately as it could be a site-wide issue that we would like to resolve to straight away.
Please check that your email and password are correct. You can use the show-password functionality on our login screen to ensure you are entering the correct password. Please also check that you are using the correct email address and have not used another one by accident.
If that does not solve it, try resetting your password from the login page.
If you're still having trouble, contact us at info@studyclix.ie.
