FAQs

How do I see answered questions on IXL? ›

Scroll down to find the IXL accomplishments section. Here, you'll see an overview of the student's IXL usage (questions answered, time spent, skills practiced) and a breakdown of math and ELA skills they've worked on. Pro Tip: Hover over the pie chart to see how many skills have been practiced in each strand!

The Student Quiz Results report will show the number of questions they got correct, their score for the quiz, and the amount of time they spent on it. Below that you can review individual questions they answered, which display their answer and the correct answer.

For most skills on IXL, students will have to complete a minimum of 28 questions to earn a SmartScore of 100.

A skill is mastered when the SmartScore reaches 100, but the number of questions it takes to master a skill varies with every student. To continuously motivate students, IXL recommends setting other practice milestones along the way to mastery. A score of 80 is proficient, and a score of 90 is considered excellent.

Limited Engagement: One major drawback of IXL is its emphasis on repetitive practice rather than fostering deep understanding. The program often focuses on isolated skills without providing real-world context or opportunities for critical thinking.

Like a digital grade book, this report shows you if students have completed assignments and reached their SmartScore goals across all skills for one or more grades, skills students have practiced, or skills you've suggested.

IXL gives you everything you need to maximize learning

IXL provides thousands of curriculum and instructional resources, actionable analytics, a state‑of‑the‑art assessment suite, and much more. Each component works together seamlessly to help your teachers and students succeed.

IXL is more than just a learning platform—it's a trusted companion for educators worldwide. From our innovative approach to personalized learning to our unwavering commitment to student success, IXL has become an indispensable tool in classrooms everywhere.

With IXL's Score Grid, you can quickly check if students have completed their homework and met specific goals. This report even displays scores by standards, so you can track how your students are progressing toward benchmarks.

With IXL, it is possible to never be done with homework. If a student is required to get to a SmartScore of 85 and are struggling with a concept, it would take them far longer to complete than the 20 questions of book work. Some students of BAMS agree that IXL is causing them too much stress.

Does IXL get harder? ›

It's calculated based on question difficulty, answer accuracy, and consistency. When your child is getting the hang of the concept, their SmartScore will increase, and their questions will get harder.

Grade level guide: 100 = 1st grade, 200 = 2nd grade, 300 = 3rd grade, 400 - 4th grade, 500 = 5th grade, 600 = 6th grade, 700 = 7th grade, 800 = 8th grade, and 900 = 9th grade. By clicking on the IXL image above or the word IXL, students will be forwarded to the log in page.

For example, a score of 350 indicates that a student understands about 50% of 3rd-grade material and a score of 400 indicates readiness to begin working on 4th-grade skills. These levels range from 0-1300, with 0-50 representing pre-K, 50-100 kindergarten, and 1300 representing the end of 12th grade.

Validity research shows that IXL's Diagnostic is an accurate measure of student achievement and a strong predictor of performance on standardized assessments including NWEA MAP, Star, FAST/B.E.S.T., PSSA, and over a dozen other state assessments.
