What is a 70 in IXL? ›

From 70-90, students are refining their skills and building from mid-level to high-level rigor questions. By the time a student reaches a SmartScore of 90, they have achieved “excellence” by showing they are consistently capable of working through high-rigor questions.

For parents and kids, IXL makes learning fun and enriches at-home learning with built-in support for each child's individual learning journey. Kids have answered over 140 billion questions on IXL.

Infinite! There are over 8,500 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.

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.

For example, a score of 650 indicates that the student has acquired about 50% of 6th-grade material, whereas a score of 700 indicates that the student is ready to learn 7th-grade material.

Overall levels are provided to parents to help track student growth. The overall level comes in a score such as 540, which would mean the student has mastered 40% of grade 5 math skills. Normal year to year progress is 100 points.

Lack of Personalization: Another issue with IXL is its one-size-fits-all approach. It does not consider individual student needs or different learning styles. As a result, learners who require additional support or those who excel in certain areas may feel frustrated or unchallenged respectively.

The program only grades students based on correct answers. According to CommonSense Media, parents have even gone as far as to review IXL, saying that the scoring system harshly punishes mistakes and leads to a ton of stress instead of academic comprehension.

Score Grid: 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.

Is IXL just math? ›

Math, Language Arts, Science, Social Studies, and Spanish.

IXL classroom subscriptions are active for a full calendar year. School might be out for the summer, but IXL is always in session! And summer break is the perfect opportunity to brush up on skills, or even get a head start on some new ones. IXL also has a free app, so students can practice on IXL anytime, anywhere.

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.

Teaching students with ADHD, dyslexia and other learning differences requires a highly individualized approach. High school math teacher Barbara Knight found that implementing IXL Math and the Real-Time Diagnostic in her classroom was key in differentiating instruction for students with special needs.

Alternative #1: Khan Academy

The online platform offers practice exercises, instructional videos, and a personalized learning dashboard so learners can study at their own pace. Khan Academy covers a wide range of subjects, including math, science, computer programming, history, art history, economics, and more.

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.

Diagnostic scores on IXL correspond to grade levels. A score of 500 indicates readiness to begin working on 5th grade skills. As soon as a student has finished diagnosing, you'll have immediate insights waiting for you in IXL Analytics.

A score of 80 is proficient, and a score of 90 is considered excellent. When a student finally achieves skill mastery, you can be confident that they truly understand the skill.
