Savvas RealizeReviews 336

I was working on a test online with savvas and i missed 1 question and the it dropped me down to a c i think it is torture for kids. I pray my kids dont have to go what im going through

Savvas is very boring! It makes people not want to do it. I think they should either make it more fun or take it away altogether! > :(

The website is slow, even with a good computer or internet, the second guess is always wrong, even when correct, and allows people to retake a question without the knowledge of the organizer. It is just strait up horrible. 0/5 if possible

This is coming from a student btw, but the math questions that are made by the company also frequently have mistakes, and the image editing (like during projects) is actual GARBAGE. It's extremely slow and laggy, you can't copy and paste the text, it's also extreme hard to CLICK on the text, and it takes a really long time to load for no reason?

Bro. I mean, come on. The e-book takes up to one hour to load. The whole site feels like it's going to crash any second. My e-book is loading while I am writing this. Mind you, refreshing the page makes it start all over again, so don't bother to try.

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.

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IT'S VERY SUCKY AND SLOW USES OUTDATED STUFF AND WHO SAID TO MAKE THIS.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

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...

I doesen't even let me see the correct answer one time it even malfunctioned which everbody in my class got an F but we reviewed it then we got a better grade everybody hates it so much

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 It is so outdated that I saw info about MP3 PLAYERS in our Savvas books.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.

First, It Auto assign work no I do not want to assign that and its slow and take 95 hours to do and they don't make it fun please don't use this app.

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.

Ew. Savvas is so bad. I'm sad. Every question is graded by a bot. Correct answers made wrong :( My grade went down a letter grade because of savvas. Ew

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.

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 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.

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.

As an 8th grader currently using Savvas in class, I must say that while Savvas does a decent enough job as a tool for teacher review and student work submission, there are some glaring issues.

Primarily, Savvas is excessively slow and sluggish, as it takes a full minute or so to load any given lesson. It slows down even more right after school, which I can only guess is because of increased site traffic. I will often spend a good 7 minutes solving a complicated one-part geometry question, only to hit "Check answer" and get it caught in a buffering loop, forcing me to reload the tab and have to answer a new question.

Savvas is not capable of being the primary learning source. Its "View an example" and "Help me solve this" buttons are great, but only once the student understands the lesson. Our teacher makes sure to go through the lesson and 5 examples of the lesson before assigning homework to us on Savvas.

Overall, while a great improvement from the previous resource my school used, Assistments, Savvas Realize is not a great classroom resource. It is, however, a good way of checking student answers and ensuring understanding of the lesson. I can't help but feel that pencil & paper would be faster, though, with how uselessly slow this website is.
