“Great website”

My teacher introduced it to us and our class loved it, they give you videos to help you understand what you are learning and you can earn energy points. You can also get better characters with energy points. If you are looking for a math game, this is one you should be looking for ( tip: do not try st math it sucks) khan academy is one of the best math Games out there and I would recommend it to lots of kids.

“My soul left me”

Gumdum Sille G.

I was doing it one day at a house and my cousins were playing darts. One of my cousins gave me a dart, and was joking that I would blindly hit the dartboard or wall. 2 seconds later I got a question wrong on K.A. I was so mad I threw the dart, hit the dartboard, and broke it in half. I started crying for 20 minutes.

This might be an outlier review, I am an 18yr old college student trying to study for the College math CLEP test, which would exempt me from a couple math classes in school. As a kid, I hated math, I was brought to tears every time I thought about it, I never understood it or had a single positive experience with it. To the point where I thought something was wrong with me. As a little girl, this really took a toll on me. Fast forward some years later, i'm taking on the task of studying math on my own this summer to take a CLEP test that would exempt me from taking 2 math classes in school. Knowing how much I had to learn in front of me, I decided to do Khan Academy.

For the first time in my entire life, math doesn't suck. Sal's careful explanations help me understand concepts that I haven't understood for multiple years. I went into Khan Academy skeptical, because like many of the kids writing reviews, I took 'Khan Academy Kids' as a youngster and thought it was very boring. Compared to any other learning program for higher level college math, it's a breath of fresh air. No 30 min videos that are depressing just to watch, no boring questions you'll never use in life. I mean who wouldn't want to watch Sal teach a math problem using 5 different colors and whatever obscure object he comes up with to represent the value of x?

With Khan academy, I'm actually learning, I'm actually happy, I have hope to pass my exams, and most importantly, Sal is reshaping my impression of math from an instant reminder of childhood frustration and sadness, to something that I even catch myself having fun with. I never thought it was possible. If you or your kid is like me and just never 'gets it' when it comes to math (especially algebra), please consider Khan Academy.

Khan Academy will ruin your life. Trust me. Nothing good comes out of it. Don't use it. Don't tell anyone else to use it. It does only harm to your academics. I used to have all A's and 1 or 2 B's on my report card. Then, someone suggested Khan Academy and I started using it right away. Then I got F's and D's on my report cards. I stopped using it ASAP. After trying other programs I got to all A's again. Don't go through what I did. Skip the hard part and NEVER use Khan Academy.

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.

This is better than xtramath, but that doesn't mean its really that nice, first of all, you don't really get to see what you gotta do, which is learn, second of all, its a bit boring and it punishes you too much for getting a question wrong, and also they used the prodigy level up sound, and also, the "levels" don't really make you seem cool, this is a alright program but its not the best

Its a very good site. I can believe you said its bad just because its boring! Its still educational! And also, you clearly just don't like learning. If you don't understand something, watch a video! You don't need to always get 100%, and in your stats, your first score will be your forever score on it. And why did you say Khan Academy costs money? Please don't listen to that scammer, it doesn't cost money! In fact, Sal Khan, the creator of Khan Academy, is literally famous for creating a FREE online school.

Tip for consumers:
watch videos if you don't understand how to do something. And people, stop giving websites bad ratings due to ONE problem.

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.

My dad made me do Khan Academy because i was 4 parallel universes ahead of everybody and i wasn't doing enough work for online school.
I signed up for GRADE SIX math and the first question they ask me is duh, what's 5+3.
Another thing is you cannot restart quizzes. I accidentally pressed the wrong button and checked because that's what i always do and i had to do the rest of the quiz! Without all these fixes i cannot say Khan Academy is a good learning website for any reason at all.

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.

Khan Academy is a authoritative, dependable and advantageous source of intellectual admonishment. While Khan is manufactured particularly for children in primary school through preparatory school, anybody with an university to implement may remunerate superlatively from it, offering scholars an considerable amount of knowledge.

Khan Academy is primarily directed for students in the American educational regulatory regime. Many of its courses subscribe to the statutory curriculum for distinctive proficiency thresholds.

Khan Academy provides science and engineering, computing, arts and humanities, standardized tests, college rehearsals, career prep, and English language arts in addition to math, economics, and finance. The significant composition of these disciplines have their own courses. You may, for example, matriculate in Precalculus, US history, and an LSAT prep course. There are no limitations on the frequency of modules you can take.

AP classes are yet another instance. AP, or Advanced Placement, is a program in the United States in which students can take courses in high school that recompense toward their college degree if they meet the criteria. In other words, students can take a university course without paying for it, and if they pass a standardized exam at the end, they will receive tuition reimbursement. Khan Academy's AP courses educate students in a specific material, but students must take the authorized examination wherever it is administered; they cannot take the test or obtain ultimate completion through Khan. Meanwhile, Coursera allows you to take inexpensive college courses from Yale and other prestigious academic institutions.

Products used:
Khan Academy is based on learning materials, succinct readings, interactive quizzes (typically multiple choice), and consultation forums. When you register in a course, you have accessibility to all of the video lectures and other resources within this course, which are presented in a maturational chronology. A course is often partitioned into modules, which constituted lessons, and inside the lessons are videos, readings, and quizzes.
