The #1 MathXL Hack

It sits in the corner of the MathXL player and reads the question on your screen. Press Solve this part and the answer goes into Pearson’s own answer box: the equation typed into the editor, the choice picked, the dropdown set, the point plotted. You press Check Answer. On Full Automation it answers, checks and moves on by itself until the assignment is done.

The equation editor (fractions, exponents, roots, absolute value, intervals, sets, π and ∞), multiple choice including choices with a box inside them, select-all, dropdowns, number lines, point plotting, matrices, multi-step problems part by part, and the Interactive Graphing Tool — lines, parabolas, circles, shaded regions and the function tools with their stretch, shift and reflection values.

Pearson grades what the editor holds, not what it looks like. A fraction typed with the slash key is “not completely simplified”; the same fraction through the Fraction button is correct. Genie uses the same palette buttons you would, so a root is a root and an interval has the right bracket. It reads each formula from Pearson’s own spoken-text version, so nothing is guessed from a picture.

PearsonGenie is built for Pearson MathXL — homework, quizzes, tests and Study Plan practice in the MathXL player, including MathXL for School. Other Pearson products are not supported.

It reads the hint Pearson gives and tries once more with that hint in front of it. On the free plan nothing is pressed for you: the answer goes in the box and you decide when to press Check Answer, so you always see what is about to go in.

Video questions are left to you: they need the clip watched and there is nothing to type. Guided-visualization items that open an applet in a new tab cannot be read from the page, so they are skipped and marked for you.
