IXL LearningReviews of ixl.com

I'm a freshman who uses IXL daily, I personally think its useless. I usually end up googling the answers just to get it over with because its so mentally taxing. It causes me genuine distress and takes HOURS to complete 1 lesson. Don't get me started on the points system, get one right? You get 1-3 points. Get 1 wrong? 10 points down the drain! I highly encourage anyone who values their mental health to NOT USE IXL.

I have been getting worse grades since my district has started requiring IXL. We are required to do 15 lessons per week and each lesson takes anywhere from 20mins-3hrs because of the horrible “Smart” Score system. If you get many questions correct you only get one point for them but if you get one question you lose 15 points. In my class if you do not do all 15 lessons for the week by the end of the school day at 1:30 on Fridays then my teacher will publicly humiliate you by writing your name on her board for everyone in your grade to see and if you are a good kid then she will be mad at you. The smart score system is really depressing and I have had a way less time study for test tests because it takes three hours a day just for one of my six classes homework and I also have other homework for the same exact class for every single lesson that we do

IXL is anxiety inducing. Their name is supposed to mean "I excel." But it doesn't make you excel at all, the only thing it does, is just give you anxiety, depression, and tears. Do not use this burning barrel garbage website. It's basically just a website built for kids to cry. Don't use it. It's for your own good.

It is giving me a hemorrhage. Unless you want cancer from this bottom of the barrel garbage, do not download it, or use it. It's for your own good.

I'm currently in 11th grade and had to use it a lot in the past and every time I had to do it whether that be for english as an assignment for my class or an assessment, and the same exact thing for math. This took place all throughout middle school and my past 2 years of highschool, currently we don't use IXL since their contract ran out, and I'm so grateful for that. Throughout the years of doing IXL for homework, it has put so much mental strain on me since I've been diagnosed with depression and anxiety, and doing IXL did not help, I've had panic attacks due to it and also mental breakdowns due to being so close to completing my IXL and getting a singular answer wrong and having to do another 7 questions just to get back to where I was. Majority of the time that I spent on IXL was me just using AI or Google or some other tool to cheat and just be done with IXL since it was pure torture for me. Another thing that made me feel shitty was the fact that we had assessments that would base our answers off of our reading comprehension so if we got a score that was below grade average it makes you feel stupid for not being at grade standard even if you're doing fine in English class as a grade. If you're a teacher, staff member, or someone that works for any type of school board, or even a parent, don't make your students/children go through IXL, its not worth the stress, anxiety, and even possibly depression they'll have to go through.

Ixl is designed to be a learning platform but lover to give out bullshit or just blatantly wrong answers. I would rather spend a day in hell than an hour on ixl.

I wish I could give this 0 stars but I can't. I am a victim of this torture though school where you get to see your score go up thinking I'm good at this I'll get 100 but then 1 tiny mistake and it's all gone this is pure TORTURE!

Horrid my gad bad not good the smartsrcore is bad horrible not good it drops you down when you are in the challege zone
