If you ever have spare time and want to learn a thing or two about something maybe you never even thought you might be interested in, this is definitely the sight for you. The sight was established for those who could not somehow get an education (mostly due to financial issues). It is a great website and the best part is, it's FREE!
Not kidding with the title. It's so crazy how valuable this site has grown. I worked with their customer support team a few years back and the internal team is SUPER dedicated to the cause and vision of Khan down to the developers. Keep it up guys!
I use their courses for every thing I wish to learn, every time before I start learning a new concept either in math or on the web, I check a course here. It helps you guide your mind on the right track. Of course, it cannot replace a university all by its own and for that you need to actually attend courses and be supervised by a teacher/lecturer. But for me, starting something new is the hardest part and Khan academy help me in that regard.
Not learning anything from this. The creator needs to learn how to talk. It's always "Sal meant this" or "Sal meant that" maybe instead of doing one problem for 10 minutes in a video, how about you just tell me the formula so I can do just not that one problem.

I have used Khan for science courses including biology, chemistry, and anatomy and physiology on the university level and am very satisfied with the layout and length of the videos and problems. My kids use it as their primary source of math education as homeschoolers. Sequential learning experiences for FREE to anyone are provided for learning of many subjects. Khan Academy focuses on understanding requiring few problems, but mastery which I prefer over multiple problems of "busy work." There is also an option to "test out" of material already mastered. We find the site exceedingly helpful.
Khan Academy is terrible. Khan gives a complcated formula, which is fine, but Khan poorly or does not define what each variable—of several—means. Complicated formulae are easy, just plug in; but one has to say what each variable stands for. Khan is much too minimalistic, where one is puzzled how F01 is derived, "add all the scores," or "input the greatetst score," or, "average the scores." Instead, there is no defining the variables. Khan is ridiculous. Khan is no help for the SAT, for instance, because Khan is is trying to say in one sentence what requires six sentences.
I had been doing khan academy for a while when it restarted all my progress. I summited a problem to customer survive but it has been a week now and I have heard nothing from them. It is very frustrating.
Besides that khan academy it a good teaching app.
Khan is said to teach math, they do give math problems and videos yet they don't explain it that well, and its not "fun" or in other words, we kids don't really want to play on it due to it being just math and nothing else, no fun! I would not recommend this for people who like fun in education but I would for those who just want to study study study and have there mind just set on the one task: master this skill. 3/5,1 point for encouragement and the other point for explaining.
I think Khan Academy should be banned from school and we should only use it if we want to. I have been forced to use Khan Academy for school and it is the worst math tool I have ever used. I would never in a million years recommend this to anyone. I have not learned one thing from this website. If you are reading this to see if you should use Khan please don't you will regret it the moment you start.
Answer: There is an old adage in education, that 'Spaced' learning is more effective than 'Clumped' learning. Waiting for the next Mastery challenge teaches patience, allows you to practice more skills in the dashboard, so the mastery challenges have more to do assessment on, and as you note, ensure that the concepts are transferring from short-term, to long term memory in your brain.
Khan Academy has a rating of 2.9 stars from 88 reviews, indicating that most customers are generally dissatisfied with their purchases. Khan Academy ranks 49th among Math sites.
