McGraw Hill SmartBook solver for supported homework
SolveX’s McGraw Hill Helper is a Chrome extension for SmartBook 2.0. It reads the current question, proposes a response and enters supported answers while you review the activity.
Why SmartBook repeats questions
SmartBook is adaptive rather than a fixed list of questions. It uses your responses and confidence selections to decide which concepts need more practice. That is why a topic can return later even after you have already seen a similar prompt.
SolveX does not change SmartBook's progress rules. It works with the question currently shown, enters a supported response, and waits for the page to update. A correct answer can help the session move forward, but SmartBook controls the final concept progress and completion state.
The practical advantage is consistency: SolveX can read repeated wording, respond to common SmartBook formats, and continue through recharge or practice sequences without making you reopen the extension for every question.
Product capabilities
Adaptive-session awareness — The solver waits for SmartBook to show the next prompt instead of assuming the assignment is a fixed question list.
Repeated concept handling — When a concept returns with new wording, SolveX treats it as a new question and uses the current prompt and choices.
Confidence and pace controls — Choose when the extension should submit automatically and how long it should wait for SmartBook to update.
Reading-first context — Use SolveX beside the highlighted reading so you can check the answer and still review the concept SmartBook is testing.
Pause whenever needed — Stop Auto-Solve to inspect an explanation, correct a field, or work through a concept before continuing.
Support across subjects — SmartBook workflows are available for common concept-heavy courses including psychology, biology, microbiology, nutrition, and sociology.
SmartBook formats and behaviors
SmartBook assignments vary by book, course, and instructor configuration. The table describes common behavior rather than promising support for every publisher widget.
Concept multiple choice (Starter, Pro, Beast) — Reads the concept prompt and visible choices before selecting a response.
True/false and short blanks (Starter, Pro, Beast) — Handles common binary questions and compatible text fields.
Multiple-answer questions (Pro, Beast) — Selects more than one choice when the prompt requires it.
Matching and visual prompts (Beast) — Uses advanced page or image handling for compatible matching, label, and diagram items.
Recharge and repeated concepts (Supported workflow) — Waits for the adaptive page to load the next prompt and treats each appearance as current context.
How to get started
Start the free trial — Create an account to get 60 minutes and 100 solves without entering a card.
Install and connect the Chrome extension — Add SolveX from the Chrome Web Store, then connect it with your account.
Open the SmartBook assignment — Start with the current question or use Auto-Solve for a supported adaptive session.
Watch concept progress and review explanations — SmartBook decides when a concept is complete. Review repeated or low-confidence areas instead of assuming one correct response will finish the topic.
What to know before you start
SmartBook, not SolveX, controls concept progress, recharge questions, and completion.
A repeated question can have changed wording or choices and must be read again.
Accuracy varies, especially for ambiguous concepts and image-dependent prompts.
Use the extension only for homework or practice where your course permits study aids.
Frequently asked questions
Does SolveX work inside McGraw Hill SmartBook 2.0?
Yes. The Helper extension works with compatible SmartBook 2.0 question pages in Chrome. It can answer a supported current question; automatic runs and advanced formats depend on your plan. The format table above explains those limits.
How do I connect the SmartBook Chrome extension?
Install SolveX from the Chrome Web Store, sign in at solvex.help, and copy your extension token from the dashboard. Paste it into the extension and choose Connect. If SmartBook was already open before installation, save your work and refresh that tab once. The installation guide below walks through each step.
Is this the same extension as SolveX Agent?
This page describes McGraw Hill Helper. SolveX Agent is a separate extension with separate access and usage allowances. Both use your SolveX account, but installing one does not install or activate the other.
Why does SmartBook keep asking the same concept?
SmartBook is adaptive. A missed answer, low confidence, or later recharge check can cause the concept to return, sometimes with different wording.
Can SolveX finish an entire SmartBook assignment automatically?
Auto-Solve can continue through supported question pages, but SmartBook controls the adaptive sequence and final completion. You should monitor the run and review anything ambiguous.
Does SolveX work with LearnSmart?
SolveX is designed around current SmartBook workflows and may work with compatible LearnSmart-style question pages. Legacy course layouts can differ, so page compatibility is not guaranteed.
Will one correct answer clear a SmartBook topic?
Not necessarily. SmartBook may ask another question or revisit the concept later based on its adaptive progress rules.
Can I try the SmartBook solver without paying?
Yes. New accounts receive 60 minutes and 100 solves with no card required.
