IXL LearningReviews of ixl.com

Its not a bad website but the questions are repetitive, the explination is just telling me the right answer with no explanation, and once you finish a topic, you dont see it again. The smart score adds not a bad amout of points in the beggining but by the time you get to a 60ish smartscore, it only ads a few points to the score. By the time its 80, it only adds one or two. The challange zone at the end once you get to 90 adds one point for right answers and takes off 15 ish. I was at 99 once and I got wrong and 16 points were taken off. Im doing an english thing beause im forced to, I'm at 294 questions, almost 4 total hours on this (not in one sitting), and only a 57 smart sccore because THE EXPLINATIONS DONT HELP! I was trying to do chemisty of water and Ive done 30 questions when i should only need 9 because when i get something wrong, THE EXPLINATION IS USELESS!! I've spent 160 hours on this website and only feel worse about myself.

IXL is way too strict. Their grading system is so strong, like if you are on score 90 for example, and you get a question wrong, they take like 10-15 points off. But if you have a low score like 15, they only take like 1-5 points off, which is not fair for kids at higher levels.

IXL is useless. The trauma it gives after you drop from 90 to 79 smart score will want to make kids break everything in sight. I remember breaking down in tears every single week when my teacher assigns the hardest IXL that are way above the level for kids in my grade. I lose all of my hard earned progress after just simply missing a single answer by the slightest. Their explanation make zero sense and is utterly useless for a child's learning. Honestly this is just a cash grab used to torture kids.

I'm SO glad I stopped using this years ago, the system for getting an answer wrong is just horrible, and it made me feel like I had an extra chromosome, on top of that, I had a temper and had anger issues at that time, it was to where I smashed my computer monitor because I was so angry, my mom would always get mad at me, and because of that, my anger just forced me to not look at the "helping examples" times I did I barely manage to pass it without getting a score that's just a spit to the face, not sugarcoating anything I'm saying. (Dont mind the "date of experience" My experience was nearly 3-5 years ago)

So I am pretty good at math, and I went to math field day every year up from fourth grade (I’m in 6th grade now) and as soon as I started having to do more ixl in middle school, I got fourth instead of the second place I usually get. I was an alternate. Lucky for me, the kid that got third place went to an event called march madness. So that is why I got to go. Ixl gives you a lot of disconfidence and it makes you not believe in yourself. It gives you extreme anxiety. It says it is supposed to make you feel like oh, I can do this! But in reality, it makes you feel like I’m so stupid! I can’t even figure this stuff out! And every time I get a problem correct, when my score is 79, my score goes up to 82. But at 99, if I get a problem wrong my score goes down to 87. An also the term “SmartScore” makes you feel dumb and stupid if you don’t master the skill (or get it to 100)

As a long-term tutor for Wyzant which is now part of IXL, I filed a non-payment complaint after a student failed to honor a lesson request -- Wyzant turned me down for just and fair compensation, so I appealed that wrongful decision to IXL, Wyzant owner -- but have never heard a single word about my appeal. Wyzant used to be a fair and just tutoring platform, all of which has changed -- now they only pay us tutors twice a month, and in my cancellation case, NO COMPENSATION AT ALL -- Shame on Wyzant & IXL!

IXL suckssss. This cite needs to be deleted of the face of the earth. This smart score ahh thing doesn't know how to work. I was at a 96 and it brought me down to a 58 when I got 2 questions wrong. They need to update this shit.

ixl sucks so much butt. im an autistic (almost) 8th grader and whenever I'm at like 98 smartscore and I get ONE thing wrong I go back to 79 or 81🫩 and it's so stressful and tiring for me. I cry in class sometimes when this happens because it's so overwhelming. use delta math or khan academy instead,those are better alternatives!
