Use it for Pearson MyLab on any device
Open the app on a Chromebook and say “my MyLab Statistics homework due Sunday.” Sign in to Canvas in the live browser, and it opens MyLab or Mastering from the assignment. It enters MathXL numeric answers, picks multiple choice and dropdowns, and works Mastering problems part by part. The first time Pearson asks you to link your account, take control and do that step yourself.

Can you find Pearson MyLab answers or an answer key?
Can you find Pearson MyLab answers or an answer key?
Not a key that matches your questions: Pearson says “Algorithmically generated question varieties can be set up for many questions, making sure that every student needs a unique answer and prevents online question sharing.” Pearson shows answers inside the course instead, and once a MyLab Math question is complete, “If your answer was incorrect, you see the correct answer.”

What do MyLab’s Question Help tools do, and when do you see the correct answer?
What do MyLab’s Question Help tools do, and when do you see the correct answer?
Pearson says Question Help tools “are also referred to as learning aids.” Which ones you get “depends on your course and the assignment,” and they are “typically not available when you are taking a test or reviewing a completed assignment.”
| Tool | What Pearson’s help says |
|---|---|
| View an Example | It “steps you through a sample problem that is similar to the one you are working on.” |
| Help Me Solve This | It “provides step-by-step assistance on solving the actual problem you are working on.” Back at the question, you get a similar problem with different values. |
| Video and Animation | A clip or an animation “related to the current question.” |
| Textbook | Opens “your course’s eText to the relevant content.” |
| Ask My Instructor | An email to your instructor with “the chapter, section, test name, and question numbers, as well as a link to your question.” |
The correct answer shows up in three places. On homework, “In most courses, the player gives you three chances to answer the question before it tells you the answer.” Inside Help Me Solve This, after additional attempts. And in review mode, where “You can check your answer against the correct answer by holding your mouse over the answer.” Tests are stricter: “you cannot check your answers and you usually do not see any tutorial help on the question.” Pearson’s Acceptable Use Policy says users may not “Share any questions, solutions, or other assessment content made available through the Services.”

What does Silent Student do on Pearson MyLab?
What does Silent Student do on Pearson MyLab?
Opened from Canvas and worked in Pearson's own answer box.
Built around Pearson's answer box
MyLab math uses the MathXL player for fractions, exponents, radicals and intervals. The agent types into it and reads the result back.
Multi-part questions in order
A MyLab question often has two to five parts. The agent works them top to bottom and checks each one.
Mastering's hints and parts
Mastering splits problems into Part A, Part B and so on. Each part is submitted on its own and its feedback read.
Choice, numeric and dropdown questions
Choices are matched by their text, not position, so a reshuffled list does not trip it up.
Every answer is read back
After each entry the agent re-reads the page, so an answer that did not take is retried, not counted.

How does Silent Student work on Pearson MyLab, step by step?
Pick the assignment in Canvas
Open the Silent Student desktop app, find the Pearson assignment in your Canvas course list, and queue it like any other.
It opens Pearson the way you do
The app follows the assignment's link out of Canvas, the same launch you would click, and lands on the MyLab or Mastering assignment player. It does not ask for or type your Pearson password.
It works the screen in front of it
The vision agent reads each question from a screenshot and the page's own controls, enters an answer, and reads the page back to check the answer actually registered before it moves on.
It turns the work in and reports honestly
It presses the platform's own submit control, looks for the platform's own receipt, and marks the run confirmed only when it sees one.
More questions about Pearson MyLab9
How is this different from Pearson’s AI Study Tool?
Pearson’s AI Study Tool is a tutor: “AI breaks complex problems into manageable steps, helping students move from confusion to understanding as they work through assignments,” “Available in select MyLab & Mastering courses.” It explains; you enter the answer. Silent Student is a separate app, not made by Pearson, that enters and submits answers.
What Pearson’s AI Study Tool does in MyLab
Source: Pearson, AI-powered study tools, checked October 20, 2026.
How many attempts do you get on MyLab homework?
Usually three per step, unless your instructor sets otherwise. Pearson’s student help says “A question is complete when you answer correctly or when you have used the number of tries allowed (usually three) for each step in the question,” and that “Your score is automatically updated in your instructor’s Gradebook each time you complete a question.”
Source: Pearson MyLab student help, Do homework, checked October 20, 2026.
Does it work on Mastering Chemistry and Physics, not just MyLab?
Yes, for homework. Pearson’s Mastering page calls Mastering “a flexible platform that engages science and engineering students” and lists Chemistry, Physics and Biology among its subjects; its MyLab page lists MyLab Math and MyLab Statistics but no chemistry course. Both open from your Canvas course through Pearson’s Canvas integration. In Mastering, “Each item contains one or more parts (Part A, B, C, etc.),” and Silent Student submits each part on its own and reads Pearson’s feedback before the next. No Mastering replica has been benchmarked, so check the run log.
Sources: Pearson, Mastering; Pearson, MyLab; Pearson Mastering student help, How item scores are calculated, checked October 20, 2026.
Can Pearson MyLab detect AI?
Pearson’s own guide for instructors says its Plagiarism Check can’t tell: “Plagiarism Check is currently unable to detect if an answer is being produced by ChatGPT.” It tells instructors to compare a student’s performance, including time per problem, with the rest of the class instead. MyLab also reports as you go: “Your score is automatically updated in your instructor’s Gradebook each time you complete a question.” We found no Pearson page that says whether MyLab detects browser extensions. Pearson’s terms apply whether or not anything is detected, and Silent Student does not hide, disguise or fake activity.

Is there a Pearson MyLab answer bot or extension?
Several extensions say they work on MyLab, and they differ in who enters the answer. AskLabby says it works “with all Pearson MyLab platforms” and that “The auto-solve feature handles everything automatically,” from $9.99 a week with no free tier; yourlabsolved.com now redirects to AskLabby. SnapGPT reads the question from your screen, with 5 free answers a day. FastSolve says it has “no native MyMathLab adapter yet.” Solvely’s extension gives step-by-step help from a screenshot and does not name MyLab on its page. Silent Student, which we make, is a desktop app that types into Pearson’s answer box and submits. Pearson’s terms bar unpermitted automated tools. For a side-by-side table, see best AI for Pearson MyLab.

Is there a Pearson MyLab bot on GitHub?
We found two, and we have not run either. DedoGamingONE/aisolver is a Chrome extension that “uses Claude AI to automatically solve questions” in Pearson MyLab with your own Anthropic API key; it was created on October 27, 2025 and last changed two days later. miguelaj01/auto-pearson calls itself a “Browser extension for automating Pearson MyLab assignments with AI assistance,” but its two commits, both from March 21, 2026, hold only a README, a license and a manifest file. Both are free. Pearson’s terms bar bots and scripts used without its permission.

What do Pearson’s Terms of Use say about automated tools?
Pearson’s Terms of Use say “Use of robots, bots, spiders, crawlers, scripts, code, software, or any manual or automatic device, program, tool, algorithm, process, or methodology designed to data mine or scrape the material … using automated means and without the prior written permission of Pearson is strictly prohibited.” The clause is written about scraping and data mining. Pearson’s Acceptable Use Policy, last revised July 31, 2026, also bars using “automated means (including bots, scrapers, spiders, agents, or similar tools) to access or extract any portion of the Services or Materials without permission.” In our reading, that reaches automated tools like Silent Student. We are not lawyers. Read the Terms yourself before you decide. Both documents are quoted in our comparison of AI tool policies by platform.

How much does it cost to use on MyLab?
Base costs $11.99 a month and already includes the vision agent MyLab runs on. Plus at $24.99 and Pro at $49.99 only add credits: 5,000 a month on Plus and unlimited on Pro, to Base’s 2,000. There is no free plan.

Pearson MyLab & Mastering FAQ
How accurate is it on Pearson MyLab?
On our September 2026 benchmark, two Pearson MyLab replicas were worked start to finish on the same Vision agent the app uses on MyLab: a finance homework scored 9 of 9 graded answers and a college algebra homework 5 of 5, and both were submitted. Across all seven benchmark assignments it scored 95% (156 of 164). Full method and every result: silentstudent.com/benchmark.
Do I have to give it my Pearson password?
No. It launches MyLab from your Canvas assignment. If Pearson asks you to link an account the first time, you do that step yourself. For signing in yourself, see our Pearson MyLab login and course ID guide.
What happens if it gets a question wrong?
It reads Pearson's feedback and, where your instructor allows more attempts, tries again. It does not loop forever on one question: when a question stalls or its attempts run out it moves on, and the run log lists which questions were not completed.
Will it do my MyLab test or quiz?
It works ordinary MyLab and Mastering assignments. It does not check for a timer, so don't queue a timed quiz you want to pace yourself, and tests behind a lockdown browser or proctoring service are yours to take.
Which plan do I need?
Any plan. Plans differ only in credits.
Does Request Answer in Mastering cost points?
Yes. Pearson’s Mastering help says “You always lose credit when you select Request Answer for a Part.” Hints can change a part’s score too, “depending on the assignment grading policy” your instructor sets.
Does it work on MyLab Statistics?
Yes, for homework. MyLab Statistics homework runs in the same MathXL player as MyLab Math, and the agent types into it the same way. Our two MyLab benchmark replicas were finance and college algebra, so MyLab Statistics itself has not been benchmarked.
