Savvas Realize

Its just bad. Nothing about it is intuitive, the reading is limited, annotation tools suck and the curriculum is bad. As a student, it makes me mad seeing school districts wasting needed cash on useless programs like this when a book would suffice. Worst part is, THEY GIVE US A BOOK WITH EVERYTHING IN IT...
And dont let us use it...

Savvas is very boring! It makes people not want to do it. I think they should either make it more fun or take it away altogether! > :(

Terrible Scoring System. THIS is WHY STUDENTS LIKE ME DONT LIKE MATH.
IT'S VERY SUCKY AND SLOW USES OUTDATED STUFF AND WHO SAID TO MAKE THIS. THE UI MAKES THIS WORSE AS I FREAKING CLICKED SUBMIT BY MISTAKE WHEN I DIDNT FINSH THE WORK. TERRIBLE MATH WEBSITE

If I could do a 0 star review, I would. This company is terrible. It has to low of a curriculum and it is terrible. In all of my life, I've never seen a worse math reviewer than Success maker. More like failmaker. So all in all NEVER use success maker I'm a good person and I don't like the math business.

Savvas sucks we all know that, It looks like I made it. It is so outdated that I saw info about MP3 PLAYERS in our Savvas books. ( digital versions of the books are also available on the website) The first MP3 player was created in 1998, in my opinion, the iPhone (which was released in 2007) is when MP3 players died, let's assume that the year that I saw it (2023) was the year they removed it still would have taken them SIXTEEN YEARS to get rid of it. But they probably haven't, and if they still have extremely outdated information, It is not a stretch to assume that most of the other information is outdated.

I doesen't even let me see the correct answer one time it even malfunctioned which everbody in my class got an F but we reviewed it then we got a better grade everybody hates it so much

The online textbook has absolutely no way to navigate by page number. There is a search function that returns multiple pages that *mention* the page number, including Table of Contents and Index pages, but no way to actually get to, say, page 158 directly. Instead, students must navigate a Web 1.0 style labyrinth of nested sections with unhelpful labels like "Text sets." People don't use this service by choice, they use this service because Pearson dumped it on them rather than supporting their own product.

I was just going through and then it explained how jellyfish mate. It said that it sticks its tentacles in the other's mouth and produced sperm. And I just say that another just goes from watching fish grow up to people poisoning the water and killing them. I understand doing that but they showed a picture of the fish dead with pale white eyes. 1 star.

Literally the worst developed website ever. A dead goldfish could program something better using scratch. Like seriously, how many loading screens are there. Like it takes 5 minutes just to open a text book, and theres ALWAYS errors. Like this is more unstable than the Microsoft store.

The questions period don't make sense. They are unclear and annoying- making kids dread schoolwork because of the site. ANYTHING would be better. It makes assignments that are meant to take 30 mins end up taking an hour and a half. Savvas sucks.

I dislike this site with such a violent, bloody passion. Never in my life have I met such an impatient, passive aggressive math site. I waste all of my "points" so I am able to understand the one, specific problem. And for what? To have my problem recreated using different numbers. This is completely unacceptable while completing any form of math, which problems are common to eager students. This completely ruins any aspect of enjoyable learning, or at least as enjoyable as it may be.

Many of the stories in the book feel like repetition in the lessons, and the worksheets that go along with it do not provide enough material to challenge the kids and prevents them from being able to get to their best level of literacy.

Sadly I am a student who has to use this. So let me begin with the textbook. They don't give you any space for you to put your work in the book. And the website, their videos don't help with anything but hurting your brain. Plus, the games are so cheaply made. If I was a teacher and had to use this or I would get fired I think I would be better off being fired than be hated by my students.

I am not a teacher, but as a mom who has worked with my own kids, I have seen what works and what doesn't. This doesn't work at all. Who teaches something by testing you first. Who teaches something by asking them complicated word problems with no examples and no solutions. They don't know if they are doing it right or not. Then comes the Test. By the time of the assessment which is 80% of the grade, they are just confused, scared, and worried. If that was your objective, then you have succeeded. Who is designing this curriculum? Why not try to remember what it was like to be in 4th grade and start there instead of starting from a PhD level and trying to teach down to the kids like they are inferior. These children are smart and capable of learning if you will take the time to LEARN how to teach.
