   Enter the IXL student username or email and password.

2. Choose work and settings

   Pick assigned skills, recommendations or assessments, then check mode, question limit, accuracy and delay.

3. Check the stop reason

   Read how many questions IXL recorded and why the run stopped, then check IXL.

How to get IXL answers with the Work Solver

1. Open the IXL tool

   In the StudyOutlaws dashboard, choose IXL and open IXL Work. It needs Ultimate.

2. Link the IXL login

   Enter the student's IXL username or email and IXL password. They are stored encrypted and sent only to IXL.

3. Wait for your work list

   The dashboard shows Loading your unfinished IXL work, then lists IXL assigned work from your teacher, IXL recommendations and assessments.

4. Select the work

   Pick one item, all teacher work, or a mix. One run takes up to 25 work items and works through them in order.

5. Check the settings

   Choose Show answers or Solve and submit, then set Questions per topic, Answer accuracy and Time between answers.

6. Run now or schedule

   Start the run, or save it as a daily or weekly schedule. The progress line shows Working on and the skill title, then Solving question, Verifying question with IXL and Question recorded as each answer goes through.

Which IXL login works

Linking works with a native IXL student login: the username or email and password you could type on ixl.com yourself. A Clever school account can use "Sign in with Clever" (beta) in the IXL account box instead. If your school signs you in only through Google or another SSO portal, the dashboard can't connect that account. Ask your school whether a native IXL password exists.

Parent, teacher and administrator accounts are refused with Link an IXL student account, not a parent, teacher, or administrator account. An account IXL has deactivated shows IXL says this student account is inactive or blocked.

Settings and their defaults

• Solve mode defaults to Solve and submit, the IXL auto answer mode: it sends each answer to IXL, which grades and records it. Show answers works out each answer without sending it.
• In adaptive practice IXL reveals one question at a time, so Show answers shows only the current question and doesn't change your SmartScore.
• Questions per topic defaults to 20 and can be set from 1 to 100. It's where the run stops for each selected item; it doesn't aim for a particular SmartScore.
• Answer accuracy defaults to 100%. Below 100%, some answers are left wrong on purpose, so the share of correct answers is close to your setting. IXL reports the result as, for example, IXL recorded 90% accuracy for the completed adaptive questions.
• Time between answers defaults to 2–5 seconds and can be set from 0 to 120 seconds.

IXL assessment setup: Diagnostic and teacher quizzes

• Full assessments, such as the IXL Diagnostic, run question by question. If the run stops at Questions per topic, the Diagnostic stays open with every completed response recorded. Run it again to continue.
• A teacher quiz is answered first and finalized only when every answer is saved. If the question limit stops it early, you see The per-topic question limit saved partial quiz progress. Increase Questions per topic to complete and submit the entire assessment.
• A quiz that needs IXL's secure browser can't be submitted from the dashboard. Take it in the secure browser yourself.
• A quiz outside its open period or already submitted is refused, and nothing is sent.

Why a run stopped

Every run ends with a count and a reason. Selected questions finished means the item reached your question limit. IXL completed 3 of 4 selected work items means one item stopped early; its own line says why.

A run also stops before sending an answer it can't verify or encode. Those messages end with adaptive practice stopped before that answer was sent, or Preview mode did not send an unverified response. In each case, finish that question in IXL yourself.

A started run doesn't mean the skill is complete. Check the SmartScore or assignment status in IXL.

IXL in the Chrome extension

The StudyOutlaws Chrome extension works on the IXL question in front of you instead: it scans it, uses verified lookup with an AI fallback, can transcribe audio-only prompts, and on Pro or Ultimate can autosolve. On IXL's regional sites, press Enable on this site first.

Troubleshooting IXL messages

• IXL says the student username/email or password is invalid: sign in on ixl.com with the same details. If that works only through a school portal, the account is SSO-only and can't connect.
• IXL temporarily rate-limited student login. Try again later: wait a while before signing in again.
• The IXL student session expired. Reconnect the account: enter the password again under the linked account, then reload your work.
• IXL did not return unfinished teacher work or personalized recommendations for this student: IXL has nothing open for this account. Check the class in IXL, then refresh the list.
• Select at most 25 IXL work items per run: split the work across two runs or schedules.
• IXL had a temporary problem; retrying question 4: IXL failed for a moment. The run tries each question up to three times, waiting about 2–4 and then 4–8 seconds, and reopens the practice page each time. Answers are never sent twice.
• IXL still failed after 3 attempts on question 4: the run ends with the progress it made. Answers IXL already recorded stay saved, so run the same work item again to continue.
