The SmartSmart score is rigged and it's just so boring, I'm scared to type in even anything, so I don't even get it wrong, and if I get something wrong, it takes away like 30 points, and then when I get something something right it adds to 2.

Nothing left to say other than hot garbage. IXL is made to improve education, but it does the complete opposite of that. It bores me out of my freaking mind, and it literally does nothing. My school assigns IXL skills every week and it sucks. For example, when I get a question right, I get 3 points, but when I get a question wrong, it deducts 10 points and whoops, I'm back to square one. The only thing IXL is useful for is revision. Please, school admins, parents, or whoever, please step away from this bizarre learning platform and useless platform and find something else (and please read what each platform actually does before considering, thank you)

I have 5 IXL's and they suck! I hate that when you get one wrong you get 15 points taken away. "we want to encourage learning opportunities" my but. This app really adds to stress,anxiety and DEPPRESION. We don't need that here and we don't EVER need it in schools.

Me and my classmates can agree that IXL can give anxiety, Depression, And possibly jumping off a cliff while throwing my Chromebook. At the start start of the year, We had about 22 Students, But because of the ridiculous learning, Some of us left. This is mainly due to the Smartscore, It's like gambling $1 Million dollars but if you win, You only win $10.

whoever is using this, so you know this is making me so exhausted. i genuinely feel like i'm gonna die when i get a password wrong. I hate this. For teachers out there, dont make ur students do ts " really fun learning game " its torture.. opposite of really fun.

This is terrible and is child abuse. Strongly don't recommend. If a teachers gives you this, they are abusing you.

This is awful and makes me sad. :( I get 2 points for a correct answer, then go down 7 on and incorrect answer. I absolutely, do NOT recommend.
