Zero if possible today I had a mental breakdown on getting 28% on an I iready while crying also on my diagnostic I got a low score on reading almost started crying in class when I saw my score (I went down by like forty)but then I re-took it and I went up by a lot so it wasn’t my fault I hate this app it’s treats us like robots and ragdolls

I would give it a negative review if I could
iReady is the worst learning tool I have ever used. I have used iReady from about 4th grade until now, and not once have I ever been excited to open the website. Their diagnostic is terrible and the lessons are always trash that doesn't teach me anything. I only ever used reading so I have no idea what math iReady is like but based on what other people say I can imagine it's way worse. Additionally, once you get to a certain grade level, it switches you to iReady Pro, which is supposedly made "just for you", but in reality they just removed all of the good parts so you can focus on the bad ones. They removed all of the games and customization, so all you can do is lessons. The original iReady diagnostic is terrible, but compared to the iReady Pro diagnostic, it is a walk in the park. In the diagnostic, they occasionally give you breaks where you can play a game. However, in iReady Pro, the games are replaced with breathing exercises. Because of course, I would die of asphyxiation if these useless breathing exercises didn't exist. If there was a list of inventions that I wish were never invented, iReady would definitely be on that list. It is pure torture disguised as a learning app.

Not use full for learning and questions do not correlate to the topic sometimes.
I am a student that does I-Ready and I feel that it teaches you nothing. Many schools use i-Ready as a tool to help students improve their reading and math skills. While the intention behind the program may be positive, the actual experience for students often falls short. i-Ready can feel frustrating, overly difficult, and disconnected from what students are actually learning in class. Because of these issues, it does not effectively support learning and may even make students dislike the subjects it is meant to improve. One major problem with i-Ready is that it often feels impossible to complete successfully. The questions can be confusing, with wording that is unclear or unnecessarily complicated. Instead of testing what students know, the app sometimes feels like it is trying to trick them. When students repeatedly get questions wrong—not because they don’t understand the topic, but because the question is poorly designed—it can lower confidence and motivation. Another issue is that the program does not always match what students are learning in class. Ideally, an educational tool should reinforce classroom lessons, helping students practice and better understand current topics. However, i-Ready frequently presents material that is either too advanced, too basic, or unrelated to what is being taught. This mismatch makes it harder for students to see the purpose of the work and limits its effectiveness as a learning tool. In addition, i-Ready does not always teach concepts in a clear or helpful way. The lessons can feel repetitive and slow, yet still fail to explain ideas in a way that makes sense. Instead of building understanding step by step, the app often jumps between topics or provides explanations that are too vague. As a result, students may complete lessons without actually learning or retaining the material.
Finally, the overall experience of using i-Ready can be discouraging. Spending long periods on a program that feels confusing and disconnected can lead to frustration and boredom. When students begin to associate learning with these negative feelings, it can reduce their interest in schoolwork overall. In conclusion, while i-Ready is intended to support education, it has several significant flaws. Its confusing questions, lack of alignment with classroom topics, and ineffective teaching methods make it a poor learning tool for many students. To truly help students succeed, educational programs need to be clear, relevant, and engaging—qualities that i-Ready often fails to provide.

iReady is not acceptable.
iReady is the worst online test software I've been forced to use EVER! I highly recommend that schools switch to the Renaissance STAR test. I used the STAR test before, and yes, it is not fun, BUT it only has 30 adaptive questions, while IReady HAS ONE HUNDRED!!! WHY DOES iReady HAVE ONE HUNDRED QUESTIONS??? That is too many questions, and it causes the main problem for teachers and admins: students answer the first 20-30 questions, then just guess the rest because they don't want to put up with this BS. If you are a school district considering iReady, please look elsewhere.
