Student Testimonials
As of 2009, we have had over 5 million students use MyMathLab and MyStatLab. Read what a few users have to say about their experiences and how Pearson’s technology has helped them to better understand mathematics and statistics.
“MyMathLab helped me focus on really reading each question carefully, without hurrying through the assignments and tests."
“I want to make sure that my next math teacher uses MathXL.”
“I enjoyed using the online homework. It helped me out as far as giving hints if I got the answer wrong the first time. I kept copies of the various online homework problems and then wrote down what formula I used and how I got there.”
“I found MyMathLab very easy and convenient to use. It was helpful with exercises I had trouble with. The pop-up message gave me hints as to what formula I should use or what to look for. I was skeptical that it would work as well as the homework at preparing me for exams, but after trying both methods I found that online problems were just as effective.”
“Being a nontraditional student, it is hard to get down to campus for lectures that are not part of the weekly meeting. MyMathLab lectures filled in the gaps. I also utilized the multimedia textbook almost daily.”
Marvin Early, formerly a student at University of Wisconsin Stout where MyMathLab is in use, was so excited about passing math that he wrote a rap song about the school's Math Lab.

“I have suffered from math anxiety and have never done well in math until now. MyMathLab removed the anxiety of traditional math classes where tests are timed and often instructors have time constraints.”
Florence-Darlington Technical College (SC)
“I like that MyMathLab lays out all of the things that you need to study. It keeps things in order, keeps you on track, and helps you learn how to solve all of the problems needed to pass the course. I never would have thought that I could have this much help in math while taking it online, but I really think that MyMathLab is a great resource and everyone should use it.”
University of South Florida (FL)
“I have to admit that I was very nervous about taking this class because I am not much of a math person. But I have found that I have been doing so much better than I had expected due to all of the great resources in MyMathLab. The ability to keep practicing over and over until I get it, the ability to see an example and explanation of how a problem is done, and the ability to go in and find out what I need to practice more is phenomenal. This is something that cannot be done in a classroom because not everyone has confusion with the same problems and in a classroom setting, the pace is set for the entire class rather than the individual. Having all of these resources online is like having a personal tutor for the class.”
Massasoit Community College (MA)
“I think MyMathLab is one of the greatest sites ever! It does an unreal job of allowing students to continuously learn from their mistakes and to go through many examples of problems that may be causing trouble. This site is a great teaching tool for this course, is extremely easy to work with, and I highly recommend it.”
Onondaga Community College (NY)
“I was able to work at my own pace. I didn’t feel like I was pressured to keep up with anyone, and I didn’t feel like I was being held back by anyone.”
Northern Virginia Community College (VA)
