réussi à vs réussi de?

I thought to "manage to" or "be able to" was "arriver à," "parvenir à" or "réussir à."

Nevertheless, we've this sentence "Mais j'ai réussi du premier coup," featuring "réussir de" + le coup. Is that correct?

I have a questionAt the beginning of this lesson you said "ATTENTION: it never means to pass (succeed) an exam." But in the kwizzes youre marking it as correct in "Il a passé son examen". I took a screen shot (http://i.imgur.com/gDxj3dx.png). By any chance do you mean He passed his exam (e.g. to the teacher, to the person infront of him)? Its kind of confusing when youre using the same word in different contexts.

Personne vs. Aucun(e) - please explainWhat is the difference between Aucun(e) and Personne. For example, in the test, why do you translate "Nobody spoke" with "Personne n'a parle" but consider incorrect "Aucun n'a parle"?

Why we say in French, “cette école “. Why it is not “cet école”? Because you école start with a vowel.

In English, we say, “l feel hot, not I’m hot”. When we say, I’m hot, it means I’m sexy. Right?

Meaning of Qu'est-ce que c'est

In the 2 question quiz given at the end of the lesson a question asks "what does Qu'est-ce que c'est mean?" the literal translation is 'What is it that it is' which is given in the lesson.

It should be more clear on what the question is asking for, the meaning or the translation.
