IXL is a program that helps you learn lessons in classes you have. IXL is stressful and can cause anxiety.
Just no, confusing, and its as if its a confused teacher not even knowing what they are teaching themselves nonetheless giving out good instructions and confusing generations worth of classes.
IXL is the worst website to possibly use in school. It's "Smart Score" system is not at all smart, quite frankly it is rigged. You can answer 15 questions to get up to an 85, then drop down 20 points because of a single wrong answer. And a note to parents and teachers: Do not put your kids through this, Districts across the United States have had to replace devices because of kids raging while doing IXL.
IXL has no good systems to ENCOURAGE LEARNING or anything in it that's useful. IXL is just like iREADY but has ruined U.S school systems. Goodbye.
I am a student and I hate it and I spend it is 17 hours. You could never get any question right? My friends are saying that this is $#*!ed and Rigged
IXL IS A@&!@#*$^#@$@!@##$@# EVERYONE HATES IT IS WORSE THAN LOSING $******* DOLLARS IT IS A@$*!$@#@#@#$@#@$@#$%$##$#$$$###$$##$#$
Ixl makes everyone feel dumber than a rock thank god my school doesn't use this I am only in 3 grade. My brother uses it and it just causes us to hate ixl more and more.he. I could spend 24 hours on 1 skill and only be use to like, 30.
Can take FOREVER to complete and has around the worst ratings compared to other learning websites. Causes OUTRAGE and BROKEN COMPUTERS because of kids RAGING over it
I would stay away from this app. IXL has made my friends cry multiple times before. In IXL, there is such thing as a challenge zone near the end of the questions. You only get 1 or 2 points when you get one right, but when you get one wrong, it can take up to 20 points away. And to get back up to where you were, you need to answer about 6 questions. I have spent hours on some of my IXLs before and most of the times, I have multiple assigned by multiple teachers.
The smart score system has gotten better but it still sucks! The app is ok for learning, but the smart score always makes me VERY stressed. Teachers always assign me work on IXL. While I do learn things on IXL, I spend more time raging on how much my smart score goes down when I get one wrong. Very annoying app\
The program sucks. When you get an answer wrong, the explanation doesn't help what so ever. Answering questions are extremely stressful because you know that if you get a single question wrong you lose 20 points and getting an answer right only gives you 2. The timer on the side makes kids feel timed. Please do not use this program anything else is better.
Hey Guys, I'm not happy with this IXL app, year 10 Math and English is too hard and it's been causing me much stress. I'm not happy.
You get forced by your parents to use IXL all the time, IT MAKES IT HARDER TO GET 100
I hate IXL because of trauma, to be honest. It is confusing to do what the tutorial does. It has the worst synced smart score (or is rigged).
This is the worst $#*!ing app ever you could be at 99 percent and get 1 question wrong and go back 20 percent also it makes me want to literally bash my head into a window I almost broke my iPad because of it also have the time it doesn't even load if your giong to a school and they make you do ixl get ready for a hellhole
ICL IS $#*!ING SUPID IF YOU MESS UP ONE QUESTION YOU GO DOWN LIKE 2 QUESTIONS IT CAN FALL IN THE $#*!ING DEPEST HOLE $#*! $#*! $#*! $#*! $#*! $#*! $#*! $#*! $#*! $#*! $#*! $#*! $#*! IXL
This fricking app is sooooo bad like even those mobile adds are 10 times bettter so they should delete it. It's crap.
It is really sad that some of us have to do so much IXL for in stance my Friend Kam has been doing IXL for a long time but he said he has not learned anything. Last year my class completed almost 2,000 hours.
IXL is a good website, despite sometimes not grasping the formulas we are taught in class, and it makes me and a lot of other people angry that it bumps you down 10 points. Despite that, it's a GOOD thing. It's training your brain to get questions correct so the SmartScore can go up to 100. Despite all of the criticizing reviews, I believe that IXL is GOOD. At least you're not doing iReady (ugh).
I have added screenshots that show IXL can grab from what you've done.
I hate this app, it is incredibly demoralizing, and I've seen so many people cry over it. Would not reccomend! I've also seen kids smack and hit their laptops over this. It doesn't explain the answers well enough for you to solve them later.
Answer: SCAM! IXL is the worst learning site I have ever seen!
Answer: Dunno. Just please, dont use it and if your forced to do it as an assinment beg your teacher to quit cause IXL is annoying s he11.
Answer: To be a scam to get 20 dollars a month for every person who falls in. Also to be the worlds best torture device for kids under 18
Answer: Sadly No... Unless you use Inspect element to fake scores everytime you open it.
Answer: I dunno, just beg your parents/teachers to stop usuing the $#%&ing
Answer: YES. I HAVE LOST MY VOICE MULTIPLE TIMES TRYING TO BEG MY MOM TO GET ME OFF OF THIS 1.1 STAR WEBSITE/APP
Answer: Probably nobody. Unless a bigwig government official who REMEMBERS WHAT IT WAS LIKE TO BE A KID actually looks at IXL for a literal freaking nanosecond goes, "This is actually horrible!" Unfortunately, the odds of that happening are so low that it probably won't happen in my lifetime.
Answer: * That's an asterisk. You have probably seen what it does.
