I have been using this for awhile now and its awful! The explaining in the questions just make it more confusing, and it always lags and barley works. I wish I could give this a zero. And many parents don't understand. People always have to ask their teachers for help and sometimes the teachers don't even understand. Please do not buy this program. Whoever created this should of done tests to see if it was helpful. I am sorry, but this is horrible. When you press the 'help me solve this' they explain it so bad. I have to write everything down then try to do it myself. Which takes awhile. Please take a second and see if you agree with me. Thank you.

A lot of problems
October 11, 2020

It just never works. Sometimes I can't read the text because it gets cut off, my friends have had problems where videos won't load, it gets rid of my answers all the time, it often won't let me submit my work, it's laggy and very annoying. And it makes me wanna bash my head into a piece of metal until either the metal dents or I pass out. Hopefully the latter so I don't have to use this anymore.

I'm in 5th grade and still don't know how to multiply and divide normally and my school has been using this since I was in 2nd grade. The "assessment practice" is supposed to be a review, but it has stuff that never has a lesson on, and sometimes my teacher doesn't even explain it! Everything about it is very low quality. I can break the front cover easily, and when I erase it hard enough, it erases the printed stuff that came with the book and I didn't write.

Worst website
October 2, 2019

My school uses this website pretty much all the time. For some reason they thought it was a good idea to use it for the curriculum this year. So I began using it and the dumb website would no even load with the fastest wifi.

Scam
August 4, 2021

A word to the wise: Do not purchase any homeschool bundles from Savvas as they will not renew any digital licenses and will expect you to purchase a BRAND NEW bundle, even when you already have the textbook.

This happened to me, just now. I have their World History textbook (which I purchased last year for $160) and simply needed to renew the digital license so that we could continue the lessons online. They informed me that I would have to buy a brand new bundle for another $160 dollars, which includes another textbook that I don't need.

I'm not sure that this is a way to rob homeschoolers of their money, or to simply meet a bottom line, but the logic of their business plan makes no sense.

We do not have that sort of disposable income to throw around.
I urge you to really look into the companies that you buy curriculum from and know whether or not they will renew licenses or not. Because Savvas seems like a scam to me.

Pretty bad
May 28, 2021

Its okay with it things and stuff but the correcting system just sucks. I honestly think Savvas is made by a bunch of 9 yr olds. And then the loading. It just is crap. Sometimes Savvas sleeps even more when its supposed to be awake. It would take a few hours to load. My school uses this website and I want them to remove it for learning.

Savvas Realize is not developmentally appropriate and is ineffective at best. The problems are poorly written and confusing. Trick questions and answers are infuriating. This program is not good for students' self esteem and will not foster a love of math. It is good for torturing the unfortunate students, parents, and teachers who are forced to use it. It's garbage and a prime example of what is wrong with our education system today. This should not be used in any school that cares about their students.

THIS SUCKS
January 11, 2019

The "correct answers" are not at all correct! It hurts my head and I hate it. It is very confusing, not helping you learn Spanish, but making it so that EVERY word is in the language you don't know. It is not at all a good site, for anyone, and it is very harsh at grading. -4,000 stars out of 5. I wish it could go down that low.

Savvas doesn't give you another chance to correct your mistakes. It just says "incorrect" discouraging you. And even if you put the right answer, it will say no. And it takes forever to load even with fast wifi. Whoever made this needs to make this user-friendly.

This site is very bad. When I did a test today, I tried my best but then when I clicked on submit test, it gave me 55% with 16 right and 5 wrong. I searched up test scoring calculator and when I did that, it said 76.19%. This website doesn't get the test scores right. I would not recommend this site at all.

The books and topics in the new edition are not student and teacher-friendly. There is also no practice for vocabulary and conventions. Even the conventions don't have an answer key in the teacher edition. And it also has one of the heaviest websites which takes a very long time for showing a page. As a teacher, I don't recommend this curriculum.

This is the worst website I have ever been to. They don't explain step by step on what to do, and they don't even provide an online text book as well. How come they don't even have an online textbook!? What if a student forgets their freaking homework!? Why does this website even exist, oh my gosh.

I HATE IT! :(
May 13, 2021

This app is such a waste of time. It puts what im not even learning on it and even my teacher stopped using savvas when we do tests and when you are on the last work it puts 2 questions but they are endless and they put horrible wording if i where you i would forget about using it. I think its a scam my school is paying money on this. This. Crappy stupid website, im giving you advice dont use it for your school or even your class alright because it does not help nor is it fun it may tell you its fun and kids love it but i love math and this thing ruined it. And it also says i have not done something when i have. Please do not buy this.

A Literal Nightmare
December 16, 2024

I remember using this website back in 5th grade. My classmates and I spent a lot of time in class using this website. It gave me time to realize what this website was really about. It's not just about "learning," it's about torturing every user, and watching them fail miserably. Don't waste your money on this product. Get Khan Academy or StudySync instead of this garbage.

This website is pretty bad, from my personal experience with using it. I can never seem to log in even by using the log in with school district feature, as it just sends me back to the regular log in screen, even when I get to log in, I have to log in again, which never works! I would not recommend any district or teachers to use this. I am currently an eleventh grader simply attempting to get my history work done, but it just never seems to work! I tried talking to my teacher about it and not even he could do anything about it. TL;DR, Website is pretty bad at anything it has to offer, and is pretty buggy.

Nothing. Just a bunch of stupidity and stress. They just make you do what they want you to do and don't let teachers do the planning. Its like the are on a throne and enslaving children like me. Plus, they add harder first and easy last and mostly hard. Plus, they just make you do stuff like 4 units back ago and its not even related to the topic. The loading takes like your time of death. The answers are nothing but a stupid random answer. They can make Savvas a Castle of Goodness and we'd rate it only 1 and half. Maybe Sapphire X. Is a worker from Savvas (since Samuel Pearson died). D:< (I hope they jump off The Empire State Building and after that I would be able to give it a zero) Oh the title is a troll on pearson realize.

Faulty website
February 6, 2023

The website keeps telling me that something went wrong and won't let me complete my assignments. I also can't finish some of them because it makes you "interact" with them and even after I read everything and answered all the questions, it says I didn't complete them.

I'm currently using this source as an online history textbook, and I couldn't be more infuriated at how inconvenient the UI is. First, I have to open thousands of tabs to even access a textbook section, and then when I hover over one of the keywords for my notes they're in Spainsih? It honestly seems like Savvas is trying to punish users for wanting an ounce of convenience. It's either I bring a 2-pound textbook from school to home, or manually type in text from the textbook (because Savvas doesn't allow copy and paste, god forbid students copy down things for notes) to google translate one by one. All I want to do is write my history notes quickly.
