Worst educational web
October 31, 2020

I wish i could give 0 star
I wish i could give 0 star. Don't use Pearson. I didn't have a choice. It's not compatible with major web severs. What a stupid design. I turn off the cookies, stop blocking pop-ups and restart the browser. Gosh. It still doesn't work. Whoever design the stupid software, please use your Brain and make it work. It should be gone!

So this website basically hates you and what you want to accomplish. Most times when you try to at least turn something in it might not save and will do some pretty nasty things, but it is decent. Wouldn't recommend it unless you have to use it. I have seen worse tools for example success maker, another Pearson product. Ever since they got bought by Nexus Incorporated it has been getting better.

Pearson/Savass Realize's problems are fine but seriously, what's wrong with the correcting system? It has one answer and only that one. Even if you write something like 1+1, it says your incorrect and it corrects it to 1+1=2! The sign that comes up after you get something incorrect seems in a really intimating tone like "Wrong!). And the questions are just really unnecessarily long. Seriously, I don't recommend this website, it's a giant waste of time.

PEARSON IS KID TORTURE ZONE please i do not recommend teachers to use this HECK'N CARELESS POINTLESS EVIL website. I am not complaining about this $#*!ing website, but they have too much STUPID PROBLEMS. I'm SICK OF THEM. They used to have us print out PDFs, many questions make no sense, and my daughter's current problem is Pearson Realize said she was wrong, gave an example of the correct answer. It turns out the correct answer was EXACTLY the same thing my daughter typed, CRAZY. Teachers, please note to yourself that even though this horrible website connects to google classroom and has these fancy smmansy topics, lessons and more, please rip up the books, put the pages in a shredder, or throw the books in a grinder. Then use another company, not a horrendous one.

Why?
October 21, 2020

This website is incredibly boring, and does not keep students entertained or wanting to learn. It is very strict with the answers and you can get it wrong for no reason. Do not use this website!

This is the most annoying program. If you forget to put a symbol or something it's wrong. How it teaches you is lazy and boring. I've never learned anything worth two nickels from this site.

A lot of problems
October 11, 2020

It just never works. Sometimes I can't read the text because it gets cut off, my friends have had problems where videos won't load, it gets rid of my answers all the time, it often won't let me submit my work, it's laggy and very annoying. And it makes me wanna bash my head into a piece of metal until either the metal dents or I pass out. Hopefully the latter so I don't have to use this anymore.

Very Annoying
October 2, 2020

I was doing some math questions that were assigned to me. When I wrote the CORRECT answer, they said it was wrong. After trying a few times, the system gave me the answer, JUST WRITTEN IN A DIFFERENT WAY. Then, I use their way of writing in another question and THEY SAID THAT IT WAS WRONG! It was very disappointing. Trust me, DO NOT use this website. It is not pretty bad, but the WORST WEBSITE IN THE WORLD! Please, stay away from this monster. -From an annoyed student

Constant issues
September 30, 2020

I would give it ZERO stars if I could. Savvas, formerly Pearson is not user friendly. We are trying to use it through Classlink SSO and it is spotty at best. Student's work and assignments constantly disappear. Customer support is
Lacking in actual support. Was told we are escalating this issue. Escalating to what?! To not answering the question in 3 months instead of 6? This program is not worth the headaches it causes. Do some research and you'll see it's not worth it.

It is awful and I hate and just don't use it please. I am trying to save you from a world of pain and frustration and maybe a few broken screens. I want to smack it really hard but I can't because I like my laptop. I would suggest Khan Academy it gives you nice videos to explain what the lesson is about and it is very helpful and stuff. I'd give Digits/pearson/savvas relalize 0.******* stars if I could. This site makes me want to barf.

Pearson/Savvas Realize
September 11, 2020

Educators, do not buy this curriculum program! It is a waste of money. Their online platform rarely works. Links are constantly under construction with promises of teams of people working around the clock to provide a better product that... never comes. The customer/teacher support is severely lacking. (That's putting it kindly.) Once they have your money, they drop you like a hot rock. Trust me, look elsewhere.

I am a space nerd, and there is a game called Kerbal Space Program, or ksp.
I make rockets and stuff with it.
I understand that what I'm learning with it is important to becoming an astronaut, but if I could actually UNDERSTAND THE UI AND THEY WOULD GIVE US PROBLEMS THAT I CAN UNDERSTAND, I WOULD BE ABLE TO MAKE ROCKETS AND FLY THEM.
Wish I could give it 0 stars.

I use this for English and Biology. The resources they provide to learn and study from there are fine for me to use, but thats the best it can do. Their E-Texts don't sometimes load properly or takes forever to load. Their quizzes are made so badly and annoying sometimes. Some quizzes even offer multiple choice options, when the answer is sometimes like "either two of these are write, they sound the same but only one of them is truly right, have fun getting it right lol." The quizzes also cover some other topics that isn't mentioned too much either from the past or the present topics you are taking. Their quiz grading isn't fair either. They tell you when you get "partial credit," yet doesn't count points from that problem at all! AND, the questions you get wrong don't even tell you HOW or WHY you got wrong! All in all, I like the sources they provide for you to study independently from (especially cause of the quarantine), but the quizzes they provide aren't structured that well to the point I get ridiculous grades on quizzes from home than quizzes from school. I don't know if its because of my teacher(s) that allowed these questions to show up, but Im already too frustrated to think clearly cause of all of this. I don't recommend using this platform to do tests AT ALL!

Headache
May 29, 2020

This website gave me geniune headaches after use. I just try to load up some text for my history class, it either works (which barely happens), or it doesn't load for about half an hour to 2 hours. Trying to do anything with this pitiful excuse of a "website" is painful and makes me want to rip my head out. I have never been more frustrated in doing basic tasks online than with this "educational website." If anyone sees this and plans to use person realize, save yourself pain and suffering and more pain and just don't use this horrible, awful, disgusting excuse of a learning website.

Each time I do homework on the website, I get triggered a lot. A lot of my classmates also complain about the website doing weird things, such as not loading at all, or even not being able to get back into the website. As you can see, this website SUCKS.
