I like how Pearson is so easy to do and finish! It is a great program that i have used for years! It is an amazing program. I am so grateful for Savvas realize!
I can not even get over how bad this curriculum is. I would need way more room to go into full detail. Every aspect of this curriculum is awful. The homeschool bundle comes with ZERO answers to any of the problems or tests. The website is not user friendly at all. I never was able to figure it out despite spending hours of time devoted to it. I feel so bad for teachers or students who are forced to use this. I ended up sucking up the money and ordered a real math curriculum from bju press

I would rate this a 0 star review if I could. This is wayyyy too slow and the equations are very hard and are probably ai generated. For homework, gives 40 questions with 5 parts each as if I don't have other classes.
This crappy $#*! website sometimes makes me wanna die. Everybody I know is failing algebra because of this. I feel horrible for all the teachers, students, and parents being forced to pay and learn from this $#*!.
If I could 0 stars I would. It was a waste of my school year using Savvas is class. It would take forever to load so time in class would be wasted. When we would go on a different tab on our computers it would kick us out so we would have to go through the whole process again. I would not recommend.
Tip for consumers:
It was just bad all around.

I used the information it was giving me I guess.
Its just bad. Nothing about it is intuitive, the reading is limited, annotation tools suck and the curriculum is bad. As a student, it makes me mad seeing school districts wasting needed cash on useless programs like this when a book would suffice. Worst part is, THEY GIVE US A BOOK WITH EVERYTHING IN IT...
And dont let us use it...
Most of the time I am stuck on s loading screen for about 30s-1m every time I click on somthing this makes it really hard to get my work done half of the time I always get homework because it is just to annoying to use and makes no sense. Sometimes when I press finsh it still says in progress and I can't turn it in. My progress also has not saved before.

Savvas sucks we all know that, It looks like I made it. It is so outdated that I saw info about MP3 PLAYERS in our Savvas books. ( digital versions of the books are also available on the website) The first MP3 player was created in 1998, in my opinion, the iPhone (which was released in 2007) is when MP3 players died, let's assume that the year that I saw it (2023) was the year they removed it still would have taken them SIXTEEN YEARS to get rid of it. But they probably haven't, and if they still have extremely outdated information, It is not a stretch to assume that most of the other information is outdated.
Terrible Scoring System. THIS is WHY STUDENTS LIKE ME DONT LIKE MATH.
IT'S VERY SUCKY AND SLOW USES OUTDATED STUFF AND WHO SAID TO MAKE THIS. THE UI MAKES THIS WORSE AS I FREAKING CLICKED SUBMIT BY MISTAKE WHEN I DIDNT FINSH THE WORK. TERRIBLE MATH WEBSITE

Savvas is so bad, like what the heck, the questions are so hard and extremely slow. Questions usually don't create to the questions on the book. Help me.
Tip for consumers:
This site is horrible for both teachers, and students. This causes frustration in the classroom and most school districts obligate the teachers to use Savvas realize. This makes everything's bad and causes hostility between students and teachers. On top of that, the autograde doesn't give partial answers, and teachers have to waste time overriding the grades.

I would like to leave a review as a teacher. Savvas Realize for science is simply not usable. First, it is a disorganized mess. It's difficult to use and not intuitive. From a content perspective, the online materials are generally only peripherally related to the content in the book. There is no material that actually supports the content in the book. If you do assign the online content, you can't grade it in the platform. You have to overwrite the auto grade in your external gradebook. It's also extremely slow and difficult to review student work as you can only review one question per screen and everything loads extremely slowly and you can't jump around. It is supposed to auto save work as there is no "save" button, but this works inconsistently and student work is often lost.
From a support perspective, it is very limited. Tech support is hit and miss in quality but they will complain if you submit too many tickets so you have to focus on critical issues and abandon assignments with small issues to stay under the unspoken limit. They advertise curriculum support, but this is simply non-existent. There are also no digital training, support, manuals, help files, etc.
Tip for consumers:
Although many aspects of their curriculum look really good in isolation, they don't go together at all and that is a problem.

They "help me solve" it put in the wrong final anwser even though it is supposded to help me solve to problem. This is the most trash thing. Like it is supposded to help me not hurt me.
If I could put a 0 star review I would but, the scale is only 1-10. The connection is horrible and literately nothing loads. The information on this website is not even accurate and puts a whole lot of useless info in their lessons. If we're learning about WWll I should learn about WWll not how a French guy ate a potato.
Ok so I have failed math class for 3 years in a row thanks to this idiot program. I would like to see this website off the internet. I just want to pass high school to get into to college but I cant do that if I don't pass algebra. And thanks to savvas I am not passing I'm failing with a 34 and its not my fault its SAVVAS you it sucks at teaching and your the reason kids are stressed out and suck at math so I hope you guys go bankruped and I will be finding where your head place is so I take it down ha ha ha ha ha ha ha istg if I fail another one of these quizzes trust,you will be dealt with. Hahah.
Thanks so much! All the love- Rebecca homewrecker. :D

Savvas literally just sucks. There is no way of explaining it besides the fact that it sucks. Never use this if you are a teacher. Sue if possible. No way I am letting anyone I know teach this when they are older. Not trying to let this next generation go mad.
Many of the stories in the book feel like repetition in the lessons, and the worksheets that go along with it do not provide enough material to challenge the kids and prevents them from being able to get to their best level of literacy.
Every time you get it wrong it will instantly reset your question making you do the process all over again! I would have rated it negative 7000 stars if I could! It's a scam!
This savvas app is very bad, especially on writing prompts. Whenever I type in a perfect prompt on descriptive weather, it keeps saying that I used unusual language, or not related to it. I even used Grammarly to check for incomplete sentences, and its good. Teachers who use this, it's a waste. Don't use it. Here's the essay for descriptive weather if anyone wants to know: The special, memorable day of a rainy weather had blue, clear, diamond-like sheets of rainwater, speeding, breezing winds, and loud tremors made from blaring, loud thunders and colorful, artistic lightning. The mood that the rainy weather created was peacefulness, frightened, and gloomy, which were all created from the rainy weather.
Tip for consumers:
Do not use this site, for this is very bad. I hope Savvas sees this and corrects one thing at least, they never do.
Savvas Realize is extremely slow. It often takes me about 4 minutes to get to the section I'm looking for, because of how glitchy it is. It is definitely not convenient.
The work is 7/10 amount of the time the easiest thing to ever exist or its way to hard.Its really glitchy and just generally garbage 3.5 out of 10
-for context I'm in 8th grade
Holy god, there are SO MANY pages you need to open, JUST SO YOU CAN GET TO YOUR TEXTBOOK. I counted by the way… Let's see, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 pages! Just to get to a biology textbook that takes 40 seconds to load, and once it finally does, it does not even take you to the right page! Reject digital, I tell you, and embrace analog. I'm a web developer myself, and I'm going to say it, no sane developer would make you open 5 pages just to get to a SINGLE PDF. Oh yeah, and they also think that they should block people from "stealing their textbook's info" by preventing you from copying and pasting, which has probably turned a set of notes that I have to write every day into a day-long experience of tedium and frustration. Overall, the app is faulty, and I wish they could just allow us to get right to the point. But nope, we need those 5 webpages. And it's not even spamming us with advertisements! There is literally ZERO incentive to keeping these pages, but they do anyway! Why?!
Savvas Realize is supposed to "start with you" they say. Where on god's green earth is it supposed to be acceptable to waste this many people's time and effort? If you want to view the textbook, just buy a physical copy. This is pathetic.
I suppose it is sort of handy to be able to have it, since you don't need a 4.2 lbs textbook to lug around. But that would be ignoring the fact that if I were to time the 2 methods, it would take a ludicrous amount of time for me to even OPEN the textbook. Terrible app, unless you like "Page Opening Simulator".

Savvas realize is okay, but it shows the wrong answers including how i put an answer with a negative sign which i double checked with a calculator but said that i was wrong. Now, I'm wasting hours of my three day weekend doing this homework when i could be doing something better or doing Khan Academy. These people need to check their answers. My brain cells are slowly going away now and my head hurts.
