Study Island

To all the people that work for study island how does it feel to destroy kids mental health i'm in 8th and i already want to drop out and i used to like school before torture island also it's sad that over a 100 kids have taken time out of their day to right a bad review on this terrible website and why has none of the teachers read any of these reviews or how have they not noticed that kids groan in pain everytime they mention study island TEACHERS DO NOT USE PLEASE

This is a horrible, negative, stressful approach to prepare for 3rd grade standard test. The whole idea of retaining kids on the basis of one test is ridiculous. Teachers should know if a child should be promoted! Study Island is way above 3rd grade level, questions are confusing and options are not well defined. It causes students to feel badly about themselves and lose confidence. Who designed Study Island? Certainly not a third grade teacher. It is the worst possible study tool.

Sisters listen up this website is so happy and fun with that cute little crab and I get good grades because of it. I am so happy with my decision to use this website. Thanks, Study Island!

I've read through the lessons multiple times to try and understand the topic and I also watched the videos the website provides, and i continue to get almost every question wrong. The lessons do not help and the so called "explanations" the site gives to you gives you just doesn't help either. Therefore, I find it just a waste of time when there are alternative learning programs to help students. It is just a stressful waste of time.

That crab comes and says ¨ your wrong!" and its annoying! Then in the select the all that apply, you can get it mostly right and click one wrong one, then its marked wrong! Thats not fair cause its mostly right! Im tired of getting and F when the answer is partly right, Give me partial points! Also, i spent so much time on one problem just to get it wrong! I

Study Island is crap. IXL is fun. Its not as annoying as Study Island. You earn badges in IXL, and is way better. BTW, the games on study island are so cheap...(This review is about IXL, not Study Island.)

Whenever I got a problem wrong my grade would go down, but then I would get less credit for getting another problem correct. This would eventually get so low I would be getting 1% per correct answer. This is not fair and it makes it impossible to progress on assignments. I DO NOT RECOMMEND IT!

I am a student that's in middle school, we had to complete 48 of these questions to get a little day of cooking out! I know about half of these kids here that only completed 3 lessons! These are not at all a sixth grade level. None of these kids that are trying so hard to go, will be able to attend the day off. I am stuck on this one lesson that I have done 5 times now, and still can't pass! Guess I won't be going either.

It does not matter how old you are or which college you attended. I can guarantee that you will get wrong answers. My daughters are required to do Study Island per my school district request. It's just frustrating and brings their confidence down. I do not recommend in any shape or form. Kind of surprised to see some people like it.

If it wasn't for my stupid lessons I have to do for my school, I would delete my account. Not only does it stress me and my other classmates out, it also says that the right answers are wrong. If your not convinced here's proof. (I got the first question right)

Study Island is kinda boring overall. Although my teacher occasionally assigns this, the games are not very entertaining overall (aside from the pizza place) As a middle schooler, I think it was more intended for little kids, not middle schoolers. Sometimes the problems are confusing, fore example the 4 answers. If you miss one of them, everything is counted wrong.

It's like taking a quiz but worse
It also made it so you have to have your teacher's permission to comment on the assignment. YOU MIGHT AS WELL JUST TELL THEM. It is literally hell. My teacher forced me to bookmark it, so I named the bookmark hell. The only good part is that it slows down time like a time machine.
0/10 math
7/10 history (time machine)
0/10 coding
0/10 being a good teacher
I'd rather do worksheets all day

This is literal garbage. Some of the problems are wrong themselves. If bees would rate this the duck army would run away.

This horrible waste of life/brain eating virus app deserves a sitation for a billion dollars! I have found out that on some of the questions, they make all of the answers incorrect so that they can get more money by causing people to use it longer trying to pass the stupid tests! So teachers, students, parents DO NOT USE.

I always fail on it because of the way they word their questions they dont make sense

It is very glitchy and buggy. Even over wifi, loading can take a ridiculous amount of time. The idea is great however they have a lot of kinks to work out. I've watched my son select a correct answer and he gets a pop-up starting there is an issue, so he selects the same answer again. He then gets a pop-up with an explanation of the correct answer, and I can see in the background that a wrong answer is now selected.

TO THE PEOPLE WHO MADE STUDY ISLAND. Its torture for me and my friends. Why is this thing so boring. Make it fun a little. I'm so sick and tired of " pick all the correct answers" and when I get one part wrong " you got the whole problem wrong". It is 10:50 pm I started at 9:30 AM AND IM STILL TRYING TO GET A GOOD GRADE. If I was a teacher I would never give mt students this torture. Moral of the story is... BLOCK STUDY ISLAND DONT GIVE IT TO YOU STUDENTS.

It askes me if im guessing when in not. Like this needs to stop. I hate when people assume things that arent true...

For the scoring, Study Island just see how much is correct with ALL the problems. They should do the average of BOTH the assignments in one big one!

I am a student that uses study island in my school. I can sum it up in three words. Stress Anxiety Depression.Its so confusing and just stresses me out.My teachers like to assign study islands as homework which I think is bull. They like to grade it out of 100% so when you get a blue ribbon(70%)it drops your grade rapidly which in my opinion isn't right.If you are considering using study island DON'T.Its complete crap and does not help you learn.

I've always hated study island with a BURNING passion. I've finally decided to write my review.
I'm going to cut down on personal experience and tell you what you want to know. Why do people hate it?

For me, science and history are fairly simple and easy, with the lessons. There are some broken questions here and there with false facts, but it goes away after a while.
HOWEVER,
Math and ELA are very hard for me, the lessons are impossible to track down what you want to use. ELA is somewhat okay, but math?
I cannot say ANYTHING good about Math. The teachers have to use calculators! Professionals resorted to using an external object. That's right, it IS that hard.
It's usually confusing and nearly impossible.

The game modes are poorly scripted and barely work, if they DO work, that is.
You're honestly better of using IXL.

TL; DR; Math bad, game bad, use IXL.

P.S. I made this account for the sole purpose of writing this review.

Edit: I forgot to mention, this site induces heavy stress upon the user most of the time, who wants that?

Are you Guessing, that's what it tells you. When you start study island and let's say it out of 5 questions and you get the 1st one wrong and just want to put random answers to try again, it doesnt let you and asks Are you Guessing, You are forced to Wait 10 Seconds before answering now and it is the worst. Would not recommend. DO NOT USE. Gives stress to kids.

It is payed for so basically school's should not be using this website it's useless and doesn't teach me anything.
