Can teachers see how many questions you answered on IXL? ›

Using the Student Progress report

After selecting a student, the report will display one row for every skill that they've practiced. Skills are organized by subject, grade level, and category. For each skill, you can see how much time the student has spent and how many questions the student has answered.

IXL supports 15 million learners in over 1 million classrooms (including 95 out of the top 100 school districts in the US) to build up new skills in math, English language arts, science, social studies, and Spanish.

Infinite! There are over 17,000 skills and unlimited computer-generated questions, so there's always fresh and compelling content! With IXL's unique scoring algorithm, questions adapt to the student's skill level to ensure the student is constantly challenged and engaged.

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.

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

With IXL Analytics, IXL tracks and reports on every single question your students answer on IXL, as long as they are signed in. This means you are always in the loop on your students' progress and have access to up-to-the-minute insights about their practice.

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.

IXL has a strong focus on math and language arts, while Khan Academy offers a wider range of subjects. Consider your learning style: If your child is a visual learner, then you may prefer Khan Academy's videos and articles. If your child is an auditory learner, then you may prefer IXL's games and quizzes.

In Summary, After thorough research and analysis, we believe that if you're looking for alternatives to IXL, Wiingy, Khan Academy, Time4Learning, Pearson Smarthinking, and Kumon, these are all great options to consider.

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.

Why do schools still use IXL? ›

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.

Questions on IXL are algorithmically generated rather than pulled from a static question bank, ensuring that students never see the same question twice and always have something new to practice.

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.

IXL uses a “SmartScore” system which raises and lowers as you get questions right (or wrong). The catch is that each question students answer correctly raises the score by 2-3 points while each question that is answered incorrectly lowers the score by about six points.

Researchers found that the IXL Real-Time Diagnostic demonstrates high reliability as a measure of math and ELA achievement. Additionally, IXL's diagnostic is a good predictor of performance (using ILEARN as a criterion measure), with a correlation of . 90 in math and . 86 in ELA.

For each skill, you'll see each student's SmartScore, questions answered, time spent, and date of their last practice session—especially useful to monitor practice results for skills you assigned.

Unsuccessful, more stress than learn!

Tracking their progress was another nightmare. The reports were hard to read and didn't offer any real insight into each student's specific issues. I found myself spending more time trying to decipher the data than actually teaching.

IXL's powerful analytics and personalization tools make it easy to set practical goals and progress monitor for every student. Use each student's individual action plan to set attainable goals for this grading cycle.

With unlimited interactive questions in over 8,500 skills across five subjects, all levels of students will benefit from IXL.
