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
Its unclear and instructions are confusing.Not even our teacher likes Savvas.So in total Savvas is bad and horrible.
Savvas is terrible.Savvas is very confusing.Sometime,me and my mom are not able to figure out the questions.I have no Idea why the school district uses savvas.Sometimes,I want to kill savas ¨easy¨bridge.I don´t recommend you to use this app

My Daughter uses savvas as an everyday learning platform for school, and from what she has told me that it isn't that great, overall yes it helps her sometimes, but most of the time it either gives her about 2 chances, as a learning platform, it should have at least page numbers on where you can find your answer, or if the student gets it wrong 3 or more times, give them a hint on where they could find their answers. It is sad that my daughter has to use this platform for learning everyday, it's a shame and not helpful, sometimes when she picks her answer it marks it as wrong, when she looks over the answer she picked was actually right. Sometimes it never even has the answers in the passages.
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!
Savvas Realize is most likely the worst "learning" website I've ever come across and will ever come across as a middle school student. A truly bland and horrendous website with words smaller than a singular extra-fine grain of sand. I am sadly forced to use this monstrosity every day in my ELA class and I despise every nanosecond of it.

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.
This website is Extremely Frustrating for both Educators and Students! I use My View with my students and If you have not clicked on all components it still states in Progress. Often times the features do not load, while other times they do load and the components are unable to use. I am a 5th grade teacher in Massachusetts and we are working on Unit 4 Week 3 and my kiddos were excited to start decoding their cryptograms and none of the components were usable! On the main screen, it looks like something is going to pop up (a new window?) but disappears just as quickly. Then under the Weekly Activity, it tells you to drag & drop the letters to decode the message & the letters are able to be dragged but do not stay dropped!
No improvements have been made since absorbing the Pearson iBook years ago, which was amazing. Converting it to an eTextbook was a horrible idea, which removing all the hyperlinks and functionality. Every function with Savvas is cumbersome and time-consuming. There is NOTHING user-friendly about this for instructors nor for the students.
Tip for consumers:
Customer service did not know their left hand from their right. Local representative was informative. Phone service was terrible.

My math teacher uses it, and it is very annoying to use. We never get explained how to do an assignment. We are told to figure things out with this website and it doesn't tell us how to do anything, and our teacher doesn't either.
The worst thing about this is the fact that the homework / practice is 20-50 questions, and the tests are about 4-10 questions long. With a teacher that grades purely with summative assessments, getting one question wrong makes my grade about an 87%- 90%. It is hard to get an "A" when making a silly mistake ruins your grade. Along with that, as I stated before, some questions are glitchy, and need to be in a specific order. The algorithm ignores commutative/associative properties in set notation, which is by far what ruined my grade. Finally, the "hints" when you get a question wrong are completely irrelevant, or they have too little information to get you back on track with the program. This is why you should stick to Khan Academy or flippedmath.com.
This site TO ME, is truly disappointing... The fact when I get to my quick check on my test, for instance. 3 questions, I get one wrong. 67%. Why does it not ADD the practice buddy questions to the score instead of getting an 'average' of both of them separately? If it would have. I would have got an overall score of 88%. But no. I got a 71%. This is sad that they have to make kids test scores look bad when its really there own problem. Unfortunately I have no choice to continue using this. If it weren't for online learning and being forced to use it because there is no other platform. We all know what would happen to Savvas. Most likely go out of business. And this rounds it up for now. In my arrogant opinion I do NOT recommend this...
Tip for consumers:
Don't use it at ALL!
Savvas is so stupid. It takes a long time to load the textbook, and even then, the textbook barely even works. It takes 5 minutes to load one page. Say you missclick and you go to the wrong chapter, you press the back arrow button, and it buffers for so long. It just loads super slowly, and when it actually does, most of the page is cut off. Don't even get me started on the grading system. If you forget one little symbol it deducts points for the entire question. It just sucks. If I were a teacher I most certainly would not use this garbage fire of a website.
Savvas is one of the worst websites I have ever used. It causes an insane level of frustration. I have almost broken my computer because of savvas. It will make you lose points on a test because of its stupid grading technique. I have lost over 10 points because I forgot to add the 0 in 7.5 XD.
Wow this isn't too bad as the crazy stupid dumb reviews savvas is better than kakoot & prodigy it's is the best of the world just like adapted mind.
Otherwise, It isn't bad at all.
Pearson/Savvas Enjoy your day.
Just try it out yourself. You'll see how bad it is. Half the time, you can't even submit anything. It will say that there was an error uploading an assignment, it will say an answer that is correct is incorrect, etc. Don't use it!

dumbass learning website
I have to agree with some of the reviews that are mentioned here. The app loads slowly quite often and the page sometimes glitches and you are not able to see the entire page. If you go back and to try to adjust the page it does not stick. If you select an answer and the page is still not cooperating your answer will be incorrect. My daughter selected an answer for a test of 5 questions and it was marked wrong because some how the answer she chose was not saved. Instead of an 80% for 1 wrong she was marked at 60% because one of her correct responses wasn't saved. Give me a break with this. Who has time to just make this up? I know I don't. How many more negative reviews do you need before this educational app is restructured? Also, I advised my daughter moving forward to screenshot all her answers before submitting her work so she gets the credit for work that is incorrectly marked.
Savvas Realize is the clunkiest and most useless website ever. Content is not easy to find or use. The one useful thing is the lesson videos but there is not even a way to share just those with struggling students. You have to share the entire interactive student edition and then give it a due date. The platform is a major pain to use. You can't even see the title of the book you are selecting in realize reader. When you do get a page open the bars on the screen take up half the screen and you can't even see what you are looking at. Most useless tool ever that is meant to enhance learning.
I have never in my life seen a more poorly designed website. The typing region in the "notebook" saves itself after a moment of not typing. Whenever it saves: the cursor returns to the very beginning, forcing you to click back at where you were typing before if you were to stop typing for a moment. It also completely clears the undo history every time it saves, rendering the undo mechanic completely useless. The fact that this core feature has a tremendously frustrating and blatantly obvious bug that hasn't been fixed perfectly describes the neglect and incompetence that Savvas gives this website.
Guys this is so bad stay away. It is supposed to teach you math but actually it just gives you some random problem to do when you don't even know what the heck you are supposed to be doing. DO NOT USE
Made by retired teachers that want to make easy money. This programme is not realistic in time frame and inaccessible to English Additional Language Speakers. The teacher handbook is accessible online but you can't view it unless it's on their webiste, which takes forever to navigate and then forever to load. There is no option to download the handbook as a pdf. There's just too much information and all useless and unscaffolded. I want to know where, where in this world does this actually work? Even I can't see it working in a British speaking school with above high intelligence where following this programme could be in any way helpful or even possible. Schools are losing money by buying thi quizk fix which fixes nothing at all. Do not invest in this awful programme unless you're looking to invest poorly.
Tip for consumers:
Do not purchase or invest here. This company is not helpful at all and the programme is awful.

If you forgot a comma, your done. And the explanations if you get a question wrong are not in depth and hardly do anything to help. The lessons aren't bad but aren't anything to brag about. For kids, this website is hellhouse.

As a student who has to use this for all my classes I can confirm the this website is a glitchy mess. It makes you close all of the tabs you have open every time you try and use it and there is no easy way to find the page you are looking for. Navigating the website is a nightmare and the activities are sub par at best. If I could write a lower review I would but sadly 1 star is the lowest I could go
Why is your product so bad? Why did you just dump it on consumers and waste our money, time, and energy? This is a horrible site. Do NOT use this, not to mention the creepy figures and inappropriate. Content. If you have this as well and work school has made you get this, I'm sorry, educators. Kahoot, Khan Academy, XtraMath, Google Classroom, and Canvas are better. Use those instead of wasting your time. I wish I could give this 0 stars, SMH.

So even though I ordered a book online with a credit card, and it was a digital book, the order is still a manual process on their end. My book got "held" up and someone dropped the ball and didn't click a button or something. My son let me know he never got the email and he needed the book for school, so I called the Customer Service. They said it will now ship in "some" time. I'm like what does "Some" time mean? It's a digital book, shouldn't it be immediate? All they could tell me was "some" time. Poor English and not really understanding the questions. Smh
So in a waiting pattern for the digital book to arrive in "some time"?
I use it for math and it always changes my answer it is so frustrating. I hate this website. I feel like teachers should not use this ecspespecily for a grade. I would not even give it a star that's how bad it is. Teachers should definitely stick to paper tests and never have their students go through how terrible this website is. It can really add stress to your day and make you hate your teacher.
