IXL LearningReviews of ixl.com

I personally only used ixl for one year and didn't struggle with it as much as i've seen other reviewers have, but it was still pretty annoying my math teacher was awesome but he had us all do ixl and it was frustrating... there is a smart score that goes from 0 to 100 at first when you get questions right you get like 10 points and it only penalizes you a few points but once you get to like 60 if you get it right, they give you a few points and if you get it wrong you can get knocked down like 15!!! on multiple occasions I have experienced something like this, for example: I am at 79 points and the homework is to get to 80 points, i'm so close! I get a question wrong and I get knocked to 65 points WHAT I rarely cry over schoolwork but this has made me cry once or twice I also don't like how they call it a smart score it makes it seem like if you don't get a certain number you're dumb I don't use ixl anymore, I now use Delta math, but whenever ixl says you got a question wrong, it takes a pause for a few seconds before displaying it, or at least for me and now ixl has trained me to be afraid/disappointed every time I see a pause after I complete a question, which I feel like is mildly concerning that's all, go make your decisions

Ixl is terrible it suck I get too 99 and I drop down to an 85 it is the worst thing ever created and the creator should be behind bars

Worst system of education humankind has ever had the accident of creating. A seeming system where multiple answers exist and you are at the finish line, 98. Two more points. In your last leap to escape the tartarus your teacher has thrown into you, you click the answer. You are then simultaneouly thrown back 28 points because you phrased your written response a different but still valid way, but not the valid way this app is seeking. It encourages narrow ideas of right and expanding ideas of wrong, encourages prefectionism, and leads to anxiety. Any good parent should never force their child to use IXL lest they succumb to second-hand anger that tends to be just as if not more angry than the child who is being tortured with it. And any good school should never renew there contract with this god forsaken website that I find really wanting to jam my fist through the screen of. As a student who never uses AI for their work, I crack here because I just cannot be bothered to be stuck hovering around 82 points for 45 minutes until I memorize the correct answers for every question as opposed to learning anything. Mindset doesn't matter, even the Buddha would probably throw this computer against the wall if he was forced to use this. It is demotivating, it sucks at doing what it tries to do, and until (if or when) this garbage is reformed into a system where it finally functions like its supposed to, try to do literally anything besides IXL.

Ixl is so annoying and if I get something right I get like 3 points but if I get something wrong I lose like 14 points

IXl is possibly the worst learning website. When you try, it punishes you. And people just use Google and play games anyways. I could have a 96, 2 questions wrong, then it goes to a 58. It's the worst. They have to shut it down completely and FIX IT!!!

IXl is terrible. when you get into the "challenge zone" when you get a question right it gives you 1 MABEY 2 points. but when you get get a question WRONG you lose 20 point!! teacher please dont use!!

I lost so much smart score when I was at 99 percent :[

I HATE IXL WITH EVERYTHING I HAVE. I genuinely cannot put into words how bad this is for kids. IT'S NOT JUST THE SMART SCORE. The grade assumptions are extremely Innacurate. Also, the questions are offensive. IXL wants to help people but it only damages kids mental health and self esteem. IF YOU ARE A TEACHER OR PARENT DO. NOT. MAKE. YOUR. KIDS. USE. IXL. unless you hate them. IXL can also create technological damages, because when I’m on it, I want to throw my computer across the room.
