Blooket is a game version for an assessment tool. Though I do not recommend using only this to assess your students. It will give you a hard score and tell you exactly which questions your students were missing or getting right. If you purchase the inexpensive ($37/year) membership, you get your students more tokens which they can use to purchase more "blooks" which the kids love collecting. It also allows you to copy a quiz set and adapt it to meet your students needs.

Though I think students can rush through questions in order to win the game which isn't always an accurate depiction of what they know. It does allow me to identify if a student really knows a topic or doesn't. There are multiple game types students can play so students never get bored of this game. The game type "Classic" is exactly like "kahoot" with one really helpful tool. Unlike Kahoot, blooket has the question being asked for the student on their screen rather than needing to be in position to see the question then answer.

The reason I love this product so much is that for my lower academic students. On a week where they are just struggling and don't want to produce work. They will play this game and rather than giving a zero, I can grade something. For the most part has brought up my lower students.

The one thing I does have is some pretty major glitches that can be frustrating, mostly during the mid afternoon time period. I thing the system has too many people on at the same time and cannot handle the load. I don't think this is bad enough not to use regularly however.

I read a lot of these reviews and at first was agreeing with everyone's sentiment that savvas is terrible. I am experiencing everything you are. Then I thought about it, I have used this for 5 years...Why have I used it so long if it is that bad? 1. cause the school I work for pays for it lol. But 2. I need examples of the math subject I am teaching. There are certain topics I know to stay away from but there are topics I have no idea how to relate to real world examples. This does a great job at that. I will agree the online component is annoying at times because the answer will be 1100 for example and Ill have a student see on their calculator 1`100 and put it in and get the wrong answer. That's frustrating for me and them. Also some of the wording is bad but overall a solid product that can help guide you when it comes to what you should and could teach and in which order.
