IXLReviews 681

Okay, one thing about IXL, the point system is rigged. It's annoying when you get to say 91 and you're in the challenge zone which gives more stress. Let's say you have 98 smart-score points, you get one question wrong and it feels like you got knocked back to 11. IXL gives more anxiety and stress.

Should you use it?: Hell no.
Service: Terrible
Overall Review: ZERO STARS

From tobin engelhard "The problem about IXL is it's rigged. The point system is glitched and it doesn't help kids. I looked at recent reviews and it actually makes students less engaged in the lesson IXL has to offer. Also, I found that some of the lessons make you assume genders. This makes students very stressed when they are in the "Challenge Zone" and they get a question wrong and are back down to like 80-78.

This can be resolved by just getting rid of IXL from public education in all the states of the U.S. and maybe other countries. We must get rid of this IXL website for the good of us students."

It teaches, and teaches well. Doesn't make kids restart when they get one question wrong. It can be changed in some ways, like making it more customizable, but it is still pretty good.

Most teachers think that Ixl is a good thing for kids but studies have shown that it can increase anxiety can hurt your Mental Health. Most children who have gone though this know "IXL only make a student or user want to get through the lesson as fast as possible without helping them learn it, the answering system will make you upset and if you get one question wrong once you hit around 60, it makes you go down at least 15 points." This is about my self the Ixl i'm on made me cry and it was very hard

IXL is horrible because one wrong answer during the "challenge zone" will take you back so far that you have to redo the entire thing. Schools should not be using this because it is useless! Go use Get More Math for god sake. It is too much of a challenge and it is not fun and kids rage over it.

It is dumb and pointless. I hate it so much it is $#*!ed. I much rather actually learn in front of a teacher than do this. The smart score is rigged I'll be at 99 and get one question wrong and it brings me down to an 83 like that is the only one I got wrong.

My daughter doesn't seem to like it either. She is an eight grader. I would like her to practice all four subjects.

DONT USE IT IT IS SO BAD IT KEEPS ON BRINGING YOUR SCORE DOWN LIKE 10 EACH WRONG ANSWER AND ITS SO ANNOYING ALL THE TIME WHOEVER NERDS MADE IT CAN GO DIE

THERE SHOULD BE A 0 STAR RATING FOR THIS. LIKE IT BARELY GETS YOU ANYTHING IF YOUR RIGHT, AND REDUCES THE SMARTSCORE BY 10 EVERY TIME YOUR AT 99.

IXL sucks, No other words it's sucks it's bad for mental health I have spent (at the time of this review) 61 Hours and 53 Minutes and answered 7,163 Questions it sucks and needs to be banned from the US School system and any other country that certifies this "Learning site" and it also is bad for children's mental health (In 8th Grade in the time of this review) Overall it's bad, deserves to be banned and I would go back in time and find the owner and change history if I could.

Honestly, this app alone keeps all anti-depressant companies in business. In my personal opinion war crimes only exist because of this "learning" application. If IXL never existed, Hitler wouldn't have been so mad.

IXL is just bad, your kids and you will be mad. I have seen many kids in tears from IXL, they are upset because after all of their success then they get a question wrong and they lose their progress. There are many things wrong with this program, I will NOT use it in the future. The kids are upset by it and it is just frustrating overall I am glad I stopped using it. So take my advice and stay clear.

IXL is way too hard for children. They get close 100 but then ONE QUESTION WRONG, they get bumped back too far. It is not easy for children to be doing it. As an adult, I find it hard to do it as well. Kids in pre-k will get stressed. But why is pre-k, kindergarten, and first grade even on there in the first place? I don't think they would be very happy if I told my kindergarten kids they would have to do IXL. It is easy for an older kid, but it's not suitable for them. I find it funny they put questions that are more suitable for an older grade inside a 5th grade (or under) lesson that is better for 6th or 7th. I let my 5th grader do this for a month and she got tried of doing it so we quit. It is good for a crazy smart kid? Yes, but not an average one. They membership is so expensive! That is enough to buy food! Yes learning is important, but, it's so expensive! My kid couldn't handle it anymore. She would quit through half of a lesson! Which I could understand. I tried it, I couldn't do it myself!

Ixl would have been an amazing learning tool if not for one issue, the smart score you gain lessens over time. You start off gaining 8-10 points per question before it plummets to around 5-7 and it keeps going down the more questions you get wrong, this can make it very easy to get 4-5 questions wrong in a row and never be able to get back up without getting another one wrong, also when you lose points it does not curve so you always lose around 15-20 points per wrong question. This combined with no walkthrough lessons make this much worse than much better programs and alternatives such as Khan Academy and things of the sort. Overall, unless you want groaning students and crying at home, do NOT use your money on this and instead donate some to khan academy, Which is free. Fix the curve and I might use it.

Ixl is honestly hell and i hate it sm i honestly want too smash my school chromebook to pieces because of how mad it makes me the answers dont even make sense sometimes IXL IS TORTURE

Okay, so im a 5th grader with bad grades, with 60%'s and below. And my grandparents force me to go to this webstie or sort. It's very hard and made me cry a few times. My teacher knows that i use IXL since my grandma told my teacher that, but the point is what im making is IXL is an SCAM! And can make your kids cry or such. If your an parent and reading this, DO.NOT.BUY.IXL! And when i use IXL, it didnt boost my grade. I hate this website. (background:i used IXL since 2nd grade, and it made me angry and sad alot of times, i used to be an A+ stundent not because of IXL its because of my father. But now im stuck with this IXL webstie for everday to use.)

Whenever I use IXL It's a hit or miss. It just depends on how well I understand a subject. I'm assigned these a lot but whenever I get a wrong answer I can go from 91 to 84 like WHAT?! It's so stupid I hate it so much :/
