This website is probably the most stressful website ever. In math when you do a problem you only get a point but if you get it wrong, it deducts 7 points. Sometimes they say that there are negative numbers to the equation but its so hard to have a visual on that symbol..
You guys are a bad workers this is why people give you a review like this $#*! off and just delete ixl give people refund who bought it so $#*! off if you dont delete the system when you get it wrong the smart score goes down delete that. $#*! off!
The point system is so rigged it makes me want to cry. Like seriously, "I got 2 points for a right question!" If you get one wrong it takes 15 points. It's pretty terrible, but it is still better than IReady. Unlike IReady, this doesn't have annoying lessons that take 30 minutes to complete. All in all, it's not all that terrible, but it sure is bad!
IXL is stupid, and when you start getting to a high score like 90, you get one wrong and it drops you back down to 80. Then when you get it right it goes up by 2. This cycle continues until you are worse off then where you started. Also there should be a 0 star rating
There is many ways that this is a must-not app. The scoring is horrible. You miss way more points than you make with one correct answer. Take a look at how bad the app instructions are as well. They make things way more complicated than they are. For crying out loud they might as well turn counting numbers into hard algebra.
I can see this site's potential, but it doesn't really live up to it. Some kids may enjoy it, but I sure didn't. It's mechanic which discourages you instead of encouraging you to learn is unnecessary. It's slogan is "practice that feels like play". That only applies to the small group of students who enjoy it. Overall, It's better than sites like Aleks.
If I could give IXL negative stars, I would. IXL is for lazy teachers. It teaches kids nothing. You can't see how they got to their answer and they have to get paper out to work it out separately. The examples are often confusing. If you could print out a worksheet of the questions, it might be better. But this is a horrible platform. My son is in 8th grade and I have complained about this for 5 years now and it is no better. Causes undue stress and anxiety. My other son goes to a different school and they do worksheets and he loves math. This program should be banned.
Okay, one thing about IXL, the point system is rigged. It's annoying when you get to say 91 and you're in the challenge zone which gives more stress. Let's say you have 98 smart-score points, you get one question wrong and it feels like you got knocked back to 11. IXL gives more anxiety and stress.
Should you use it?: Hell no.
Service: Terrible
Overall Review: ZERO STARS
In my opinion I think that IXL is a great website for reviewing and quizzing, preparing for tests. Except, this website is not good for learning new things, more for reviewing and quizzing. This website is not terrible, but I think this website does need some new improvements. Sometimes this website can get a little frustrating. This is a good website for reviewing and you should use another website for learning. But this website does help with my math skills. So this website can be pretty useful.
Ixl is the worst website I ever have done. I would rather be on any other website than ixl. But my stupid teacher gives me 3 so I got to 80 on one stopped, and the second one is basically the same one. Ixl, I hope you die out. I hope a hacker puts inappropriate content so It gets banned on my school Chromebook.
IXL is really helpful but sometimes it confuses the student. They do this by giving you an answer simplified even though it says not to simplify. Also when you finally simplify the answer it marks it wrong. Besides this helping me it gave me and my friends more stress.
I had to do IXL everyday before since my parents told me to. It's really not good - I doubt it helps you progress.
I mean they give questions to answer so maybe if you do it for 5 minutes you can recap a few things. But if you want to improve, then it's really not worth it. Try other websites.
This app gives some kids anxiety and/or depression.Me,a person who does use it has a lot of challenges with it.When you get one write you get about 1 or 2 points but when you get one wrong you get 7 points taken.This app should have never been a thing.
This site is terrible and causes stress to lots of kids like me. The smart score is stupid and always makes you go down more than going up more. This does not help me and causes stress to the point I just quit and accept my fate. If you are an educator I would not recommend this app if you want your students to be happy.
All I can say is WOW. This stupid website that I'm forced into using EVERY DAY is the cause of every single second wasted in my lifetime. The precious seconds which I could be spending with my friends and family, or doing something nice for myself. Isn't is just so unfortunate that I'm instead learning to calculate 3+2 in the 5th grade? Don't I deserve to learn something new, just for once? The little amount of time left before my childhood ends is very special, and I simply wish I could be spending it on something better than this worthless site.
IXL is just bad, your kids and you will be mad. I have seen many kids in tears from IXL, they are upset because after all of their success then they get a question wrong and they lose their progress. There are many things wrong with this program, I will NOT use it in the future. The kids are upset by it and it is just frustrating overall I am glad I stopped using it. So take my advice and stay clear.
I hate IxL because I know the subject, but the teacher doesn't think so because I make a minor mistake, and its sets me so far back, and it causes me to mess up more. It is rigged and causes more harm than it helps, there are many study on this If you want to look it up. Thanks
IXL causes my child to be stressed about his school and home life he doesnt struggle in class at all but ixl adds extra stress when he could have free time after school since he is caught up with all his work
Just don't even waste your time on IXL. You learn nothing and I have wasted 81 hours of my life because of it. It is 75$ per student( and that is to be payed yearly) So in a school with 350 kids, that is 26,250 dollars per year. That money could go into things that could actually HELP kids, not make them feel stupid and angers because of the unfair IXL grading system.
This site is horrible. The point system is horrible in the way how you have to get so many problems right in a row. Another horrible point system is the smart score counter in the math assignments. You can get ten problems right but one wrong one will set you all of the way back. Personally I believe that teachers use this sight so they don't have to do the grading or do work.
Answer: SCAM! IXL is the worst learning site I have ever seen!
Answer: Dunno. Just please, dont use it and if your forced to do it as an assinment beg your teacher to quit cause IXL is annoying s he11.
Answer: To be a scam to get 20 dollars a month for every person who falls in. Also to be the worlds best torture device for kids under 18
Answer: Sadly No... Unless you use Inspect element to fake scores everytime you open it.
Answer: Probably nobody. Unless a bigwig government official who REMEMBERS WHAT IT WAS LIKE TO BE A KID actually looks at IXL for a literal freaking nanosecond goes, "This is actually horrible!" Unfortunately, the odds of that happening are so low that it probably won't happen in my lifetime.
Answer: * That's an asterisk. You have probably seen what it does.
Answer: It is really good it gives lessons and videos how to do it and if you buy yearly subscription it is 10% of and it improved my sons grades, but it has some errors.
Answer: Yes, but it would require everyone currently paying for it and funding it to pull out.
