it sucks. so bad.

I'm a 6th grader with AuDHD (Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder and Autism) and RSD (Rejection Sensitivity Dysphoria) and currently, my self worth is close to zero. I've been a "gifted child" my whole life and have almost always gotten straight As (until very recently one B from late work), so I have very, very high standards for myself and tend to get very upset when I don't meet them. So when I mess up a question and see that stupid "Sorry, Incorrect" explanation screen, I feel slightly more worthless every time. The "Smart Score" system is terrible as well, as it tends to add only 1-3 points when you get a correct answer but then immediately take away 7-15 as soon as you get something wrong. This apparently makes it better at ensuring the student has mastered the topic, when really all it does is stress others and myself out, especially when we're so close to meeting the finishing goal.

this company sucks because I almost broke my Chromebook and I have to stay up till 4 am but I should be asleep instead of doing ixl tbh and my teacher gave us a week of work but we didnt do shit.

Lessons expect prior knowledge and do not teach new concepts. Missed questions lack useful information to improve such as repeating basic information on the incorrect screen and sharing confusing and sometimes conflicting information

IXL is the worst learning app on the face of this planet. If you are doing a skill and you think you are on on your last problem, think again. Because first of all, if you have like a smartscore of, say, 98, and you get it wrong, IT TAKES YOU BACK TO 85. that could have been your last problem, but no. If you get a problem wrong, it takes you back like 10 or 15 points. But if you get one right, it gives you 1 to 2 back!! and for the price of a membership, it is not worth it to pay a bag for a "learning app" and watch you child suffer. Parents, just dont do it.

Anybody who rates this app 5 stars is either lying or is a teacher who loves IXL for its only positive value: the analytics. In my opinion, my sanity as a student is more valuable than analytics. IXL uses the SmartScore to track your progress, but it is not rewarding at all. By the time you get to 90 and above one single typo could send you to a 70 and have you spend 20 minutes getting one point per question up to 90 again. One personal thing I hate is the fact that I am timed. It literally tells you how much time you have spent. I spent almost 2hrs and was on the verge of tears before I completed some skills. Most teachers way over assign it and it does nothing but add stress. I seriously don’t care anymore about learning. I just want to get this torture labeled as “education” over with. IXL is a filthy lying platform that has caused me more stress than anything and I can’t even remember the last thing I learned.

I DID SOMETHING LAST YEAR AND I NEVER FINISHED FOR SMARTSCORE. I MADE HIGH SCIRE BUT ONE MISTAKE IS OOPS NOPE BACK TO 0 AMD THE GAMES ARE KIDDIE
