Use it for i-Ready on any device
On your own tablet or phone, open the app and say “my i-Ready lessons for this week.” Sign in to Canvas in the live browser once. It answers multiple-choice and typed-number questions, drags one listed item onto another, and goes through teaching segments. Free-form drawing and timed animations are its weakest case, and i-Ready Inform stays yours.

About Silent Student on i-Ready
Pick the i-Ready lesson and watch: Silent Student opens it in its own browser, answers the questions it can read and checks that i-Ready took each one.
Silent Student is a Mac and Windows desktop app, from $11.99 a month, that can open i-Ready (also written iReady or i Ready) lessons linked from your Canvas course and answer the questions in them, reading back each result. i-Ready Inform, formerly the Diagnostic, stays yours.
- Answers in i-Ready’s own fields. Multiple choice matched by its text, typed numbers, and dragging one listed item onto another.
- Reads every answer back. After each entry it re-reads the lesson, so an answer i-Ready didn’t take is caught and retried, not counted.
- Shows you the log. The run log lists what went in and where a run stopped. i-Ready Inform and proctored tests stay yours.
Is there an iReady auto answer bot?
Is there an iReady auto answer bot?
Partly. Silent Student is a Mac and Windows app whose Vision agent opens i-Ready lessons linked from your Canvas course, answers the questions it can read, and checks that i-Ready accepted each one. It struggles most with animated and drag-heavy lessons and skips i-Ready Inform. Plans start at $11.99 a month.

Does Silent Student work as an iReady bot?
Partly. Silent Student’s Vision agent can open an i-Ready lesson linked from your Canvas course and answer the questions it can read, checking that i-Ready took each one. Animated and drag-heavy lessons are its weakest case. We have published no i-Ready run, and it does not take i-Ready Inform. Plans start at $11.99 a month.
| What it does | i-Ready lessons linked from Canvas: choice and typed-number questions answered and read back, with teaching parts played at their own pace. Khan Academy exercises linked from Canvas are worked much the same way. |
|---|---|
| What it doesn’t do | i-Ready Inform (formerly i-Ready Diagnostic), proctored tests, or a promised lesson pass. Its answers can be wrong. What an i-Ready score means |
| Who it’s built for | College students in Canvas courses. i-Ready is used mostly in grades K–8, and Silent Student reaches it only when your Canvas course links to it. It reaches MATHia, used in grades 6–12, and Savvas Realize the same way. Accounts are for ages 13 and up. Terms |
| Where it runs | Desktop app: a Mac with Apple Silicon on macOS 13 or later (Intel by request), or a 64-bit PC on Windows 10 or later. Chromebook, iPad or phone: the web app at app.silentstudent.com. School-managed devices may block it. |

Is there an iReady bot or auto-answer tool?
Is there an iReady bot or auto-answer tool?
A few kinds, and they do different things. Screenshot solvers suggest an answer: FastSolve’s i-Ready page says to screenshot the question, “then enter it yourself,” and that it “does not auto-fill i-Ready natively yet.” FastSolve gives 10 free solves a day. The two most-starred i-Ready scripts on GitHub skip lessons and add minutes. Silent Student is a Mac and Windows desktop app whose Vision agent answers the questions it can read in i-Ready lessons linked from your Canvas course and reads each one back, from $11.99 a month. i-Ready’s terms bar outside apps, scripts or code that “may interfere with the operation of the Digital Products,” so read them and your school’s rules first.

Why won’t posted iReady answers match your lessons?
Why won’t posted iReady answers match your lessons?
Curriculum Associates says My Path lessons “are assigned to your student based on their latest results on the i-Ready Inform assessment,” so the lessons on your screen follow your own results. Its terms say Teacher Toolbox, a separate teacher resource, includes “assessments and answers to assignments,” and that “posting of teacher-facing materials is prohibited.”

How does i-Ready Inform place you, and what helps in a lesson?
How does i-Ready Inform place you, and what helps in a lesson?
i-Ready Inform, formerly the i-Ready Diagnostic, sets your lessons. Curriculum Associates’ guide for families says it “Is an adaptive assessment that adjusts its questions to suit your student’s instructional level,” and that “a series of correct answers will result in slightly harder questions, while a series of incorrect answers will yield slightly easier questions.” In our reading, answers copied from anywhere else would place you at the wrong level, and My Path would then assign lessons from that placement. What a scale score means for your grade level is in our i-Ready score chart.
Curriculum Associates’ own advice for lessons:
- Retake it. A student who doesn’t pass a lesson “can take it again.”
- Slow down. Students should “take their time, ask questions, and write things down.”
- Don’t click through. The family guide says “just clicking through will not be a productive use of their time nor reflect what they actually know.” Time-On-Task and every lesson’s quiz score are kept with your login.
On AI, Curriculum Associates says its i-Ready Assessment and Personalized Instruction products “do not contain generative AI functionality for educators or students.” That describes i-Ready itself, not outside tools.

Which i-Ready question types does Silent Student handle?
Which i-Ready question types does Silent Student handle?
Worked by the Vision agent, with no published i-Ready run, so these are not measured results.
| Question type | Handled | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Multiple-choice questions | Works | Choices are matched by their text, not their position. |
| Typed-number answers | Works | |
| Drag one listed item onto another | Works | It checks the item moved. |
| Teaching segments | Works | Played at their own pace, not sped up. |
| Free-form dragging, drawing and timed animations | Weakest | Expect some runs to stop partway. |
| i-Ready Inform (formerly the Diagnostic) | Not supported | Take it yourself. |
| Proctored tests | Not supported | Yours to take. |
What should you do yourself in i-Ready?
What should you do yourself in i-Ready?
- No published i-Ready run yet. i-Ready runs on the Vision agent, and we have published no i-Ready run. Check the run log.
- i-Ready Inform is yours. Inform, formerly the Diagnostic, decides which lessons you get. The agent does not recognize one, so don’t queue it; an inflated result gives you lessons you are not ready for.
- Animated and drag-heavy lessons. Lessons built around dragging, drawing or timed animations are the hardest case for a screen-reading agent. Expect some runs to stop partway, with the log saying where.

What does Silent Student do on i-Ready?
What does Silent Student do on i-Ready?
Lesson questions
i-Ready lessons teach, then ask questions. The agent answers the questions it can read and checks that i-Ready accepted each one.
Choice and number answers
Choices are matched by their text, not their position.
Listed drag and drop
The agent can drag one listed item onto another and checks that it moved.
Linked from Canvas
Some schools link i-Ready into Canvas. The agent follows that link; if your school signs you in through Clever or ClassLink, the app supports that sign-in.
Every answer is read back
Typing an answer is not the same as the platform accepting it. After each entry the agent re-reads the live page, so an answer that did not take is caught and retried instead of counted.

How does Silent Student work on i-Ready, step by step?
Pick the assignment in Canvas
Open the Silent Student desktop app, find the i-Ready assignment in your Canvas course list, and queue it like any other.
It opens i-Ready from your course
The app follows the lesson's link out of Canvas and lands in i-Ready. It does not ask for or type your password.
It works the screen in front of it
The vision agent reads each question from a screenshot and the page's controls, answers it, and reads the page back before the lesson continues.
It reports what really happened
It uses the platform's own submit or completion control and marks the run confirmed only when the platform shows it.
More questions about i-Ready13
Is the i-Ready Diagnostic adaptive?
Yes. The i-Ready Diagnostic is now called i-Ready Inform, and Curriculum Associates’ family guide says it “Is an adaptive assessment”: “a series of correct answers will result in slightly harder questions, while a series of incorrect answers will yield slightly easier questions.” Students take it “at the beginning of the school year and up to two more times in the school year,” and My Path lessons are assigned from the latest result.
Sources: Curriculum Associates, i-Ready Guide for Families (July 2026); Curriculum Associates, i-Ready for Families, checked October 20, 2026.
What do i-Ready Inform scores mean?
They place you against grade-level ranges. Curriculum Associates’ 2026–2027 placement tables say “Starting with the 2026-2027 school year, i-Ready Diagnostic is now known as i-Ready Inform,” that the assessments are there “to make appropriate instructional recommendations and placement decisions,” and that “there were no changes to placement scores between the 2024-2025 and 2026-2027 school years.” Our free i-Ready score chart looks up the placement for a grade and score. Silent Student does not take Inform, because the score that sets your lessons should be your own.

How do you pass an i-Ready lesson?
On its quiz. Curriculum Associates’ family guide lists “Lessons Passed” on the My Progress page, and “Completed Work: The name and quiz score for each lesson your student has taken.” It recommends “30–49 minutes per subject per week in lessons with a 70%+ lesson pass rate,” and its tips sheet for families says: “If they don’t pass a lesson, remind them they can take it again.”
Sources: Curriculum Associates, i-Ready Guide for Families (July 2026); Curriculum Associates, Tips for families: i-Ready lessons at home, checked October 20, 2026.
How many minutes of i-Ready a week?
About 30 to 49 per subject, unless your teacher says otherwise. Curriculum Associates recommends “30–49 minutes per subject per week in lessons with a 70%+ lesson pass rate,” and says most students in Grades K–5 use it “for less than 50 minutes per subject per week, with an average of 34 minutes in active lesson time.” On the My Progress page, Time-On-Task is “The number of minutes your student has spent this week (Monday–Sunday)” in lessons. Silent Student does not add or fake minutes: the time it spends in a lesson is recorded in your account like any other lesson time.
Sources: Curriculum Associates, i-Ready Guide for Families (July 2026); Curriculum Associates, i-Ready for Families, checked October 20, 2026.
Can you do i-Ready at home?
Yes, if your school uses it that way. Curriculum Associates says “Some schools assign i-Ready lessons to be completed at home; others use it exclusively during school hours.” From a computer, students sign in through their school’s portal and click the i-Ready icon, or, with no portal, at i-ReadyConnect.com with the login their teacher gave them. On an iPad it is the free i-Ready Connect for Students app. Silent Student reaches i-Ready only in a web browser when your Canvas course links to it, not inside the iPad app.

What is Lectura in i-Ready?
Lectura is Spanish for “reading.” In Curriculum Associates’ 2026 family guide, the student dashboard’s subject tabs read Reading, Lectura and Math, and a school that bought only one subject shows only that one. Curriculum Associates says i-Ready’s reading lessons include ones “that support students learning to read proficiently in Spanish for Grades K–5,” and that lessons “expand and contract based on performance.” It also offers a Spanish reading assessment, i-Ready Inform de lectura, for Grades K–6. Silent Student has no published i-Ready run in any subject, Lectura included.

Does i-Ready use AI?
Not generative AI. Curriculum Associates says “i-Ready Assessment and Personalized Instruction products do not contain generative AI functionality for educators or students.” Silent Student is a separate third-party app, not made by Curriculum Associates.
Source: Curriculum Associates, i-Ready for Families, checked October 20, 2026.
Is there an iReady extension or bot on GitHub?
Yes, mostly old “hack” scripts. When we checked GitHub on October 20, 2026, the most-starred i-Ready repository (26 stars, code last pushed in October 2021) described “a lesson and quiz skipper and a minutes hack,” and the next (9 stars, last pushed in June 2024) listed “Minute farming” among its features. We have not run either. Skipping a lesson or padding minutes is not the same as answering it, a script like this runs inside your signed-in account, and one school district’s help desk says a cheat script or extension can get a student’s account flagged.
Sources: Tigard-Tualatin School District Help Desk, i-Ready: My Path “Looks Like There’s a Problem Here” Error; GitHub, i-Ready repositories by stars, checked October 20, 2026.
Can i-Ready detect a bot or cheat script?
It can flag an account. We found no Curriculum Associates page that explains how, so we make no claim about the method. A Tigard-Tualatin School District help article says the My Path error “Looks Like There’s a Problem Here” “could denote that a cheat script/extension was used and the student’s account has been flagged for potential cheating,” that teachers then see “a yellow banner” on the student’s roster profile, and that i-Ready support can be asked to “check the student’s log.” We don’t know whether that flag ever fires on Silent Student, and it doesn’t try to avoid it: it works through i-Ready’s own lesson screens in its own browser, and every answer is recorded as yours. Your school’s rules apply either way.

What do i-Ready’s terms say about outside tools?
i-Ready’s Digital Products Terms and Conditions of Use, last updated July 17, 2026, are an agreement between Curriculum Associates and the school or district. Under Limitations on Use, the school may not let its users “use any features or functionalities of the Digital Products with external applications, scripts, or code that may interfere with the operation of the Digital Products or pose a security risk.” We are not lawyers. Read the terms, and your school’s rules, before you decide.

Will it pass every i-Ready lesson?
Not guaranteed. A lesson is passed on its quiz score, drag-heavy and animated parts are the weakest case, and the agent can answer wrongly. If a run stops partway, the log says what is left.
Does it work in the i-Ready iPad app?
No. Silent Student opens i-Ready in its own browser from your Canvas course, so it does not work inside the i-Ready Connect for Students iPad app. On a Chromebook, iPad or phone, use the web app at app.silentstudent.com; on a Mac or Windows PC, use the desktop app or the web app. School-managed devices may block it.

Which plan do I need?
Any plan. Every plan includes the vision agent that works this platform; plans differ only in credits. See the pricing page for details.
Is Silent Student an i-Ready extension or script?
No. It is a desktop app for Mac and Windows that opens i-Ready in its own browser from your Canvas course. It is not a Chrome extension, bookmarklet or userscript. It answers the lesson questions it can read; it does not skip lessons, change quiz scores or add minutes.
Does it work on i-Ready Lectura (Spanish reading) lessons?
Not confirmed. We have published no i-Ready run in any subject, Lectura included. Treat a Lectura lesson like any other i-Ready lesson and check the run log, which says what is left if a run stops.
