Tough work
03/02/2023 Maya Papaya <3
This is a great app in terms of enjoying reading, math or testing. But for the majority of people who have downloaded this app(or use it in class), hate it! I happen to be one of those people. To begin, the diagnostics are INCREDIBLY hard. Don’t get me wrong, I love to read! However it expects you to read 5 pages of Shakespeare and then listen to a 2 minute audio. Then once you’re done the question will be like, “how does the reader express himself when reading the word ‘tribute’?” who the heck knows that? Then the answers will be “with anger luring inside him because Juliet died” or “sadness because his heart turns into stone” or some other dumb answer. Not to mention the math! “What is the area of angle Y divided by C multiplied by the ray of a rectangle?” like make it make sense? It doesn’t even teach you that in a lesson, so you’re completely unprepared. Let’s not forget that the math lessons take 45 minutes to an hour to complete. The progress bar moves a centimeter once you just finished a 3 step word problem that took you 20 minutes to answer. I’m honestly the most angry that I failed my math and reading diagnostics. I went down by 5 in reading and 8 in math! I thought I tried my best, but I guess it’s not enough for I-Ready scores! If your kid is homeschooled or you just want to buy this app as a learning experience for your child, please spare your child, your time, and your money and don’t download this app. Sincerely, Maya.

Y'all are overreacting

I've read the reviews, and honestly it's surprising how much people hate I-Ready. I mean, I get it, diagnostics aren't too fun, but you people are getting way too overworked by this. First and foremost, THE DIAGNOSTIC IS SUPPOSED TO BE HARD. It's like that for a reason so it can put everyone where they need to be, and "everyone" doesn't mean just young children, since I-Ready is an app for grades 2-8. This means that the harder problems are for the older kids to se where they're at, otherwise they'd be multiplying decimals in 8th grade! And for those arguing about lessons being too hard or taking too long, that's all on you. The reading and math lessons are given to you based on your skill set, hence why the diagnostic is mandatory in the first place, meaning there is no reason you should be constantly failing your own lessons. The same for the length of the lessons, all you have to do is actually be paying attention, since I know first hand each reading lesson only takes 5-10 minutes and math 10-15 minutes, so the only reason you're doing so bad on your lessons is because of your own laziness 😂😂. Anyways, most of the one stars are coming from people angry at I-Ready for their own district's choices, which is unrelated to the app as a whole. So to sum this up, I'd have to say that the bad reviews are coming from a biased source who just doesn't want to do their schoolwork.

Great app but…

This app is REALLY good at teaching math and English vocabulary but dont get me started on the diagnostic. The diagnostic test is a nightmare. It makes me feel stupid because it keeps giving me questions on stuff I've never even seen before, way above my actual grade level. The test is supposed to figure out where I'm at, but the questions make no sense, so I end up guessing on half of them. The whole thing is super stressful, and I just want to finish it and get it over with, If you get a question wrong in a lesson, i-Ready barely even explains what you did wrong; it just gives you more of the same problems. There's no real teacher interaction to help you understand the tricky parts. Plus, the problems feel totally disconnected from anything we do in the real world, so it's hard to care about why I'm learning it in the first place. And Honestly, i-Ready is the most boring thing we do in class. The lessons feel like they drag on for hours, and the little cartoon characters are super cheesy and unhelpful. It's the same repetitive stuff over and over, and my mind just completely checks out. I'm not learning anything new; I'm just trying to click through it as fast as possible to get my required minutes done. It feels like a chore, not a learning tool but its good at teaching vocabulary but i got all A’s in vocab after i did vocab in iready i recommend this for kindergarten-5th grade

THE WORST
Oct 3 hi people person
Holy cow, I’ve been stuck with this stupid program that my school district spends a ton of money on for absolutely zero reason, everyone hates it, all the teachers including. Its basically one of my worst memories, its just sooooooooooooo freaking boring and I never learned a single thing from it. I had to use it from kindergarten until 8th grade, and while it may have been at least slightly suitable for 5-7 year olds, it is absolutely ridiculous for 14 year olds to be forced to do anything here. Its very childish, and really repetitive, and has that 3 year old cartoon feel. The only upside was the cupcake game, cause it was at least mildly fun, even though the math never really went up to any level harder than percentages and simple fractions. As it was also required for everyone in middle school to take the diagnostics it just felt super ridiculously usless for those who were taking 10 and 11th grade math levels in school already like Alg 2/Trig, and Pre-calculus. Even though I’ve moved on and never are gonna be forced to do I-ready again since I am in highschool, my little brother is unfortunatly just starting kindergarten with it. I know this is a lot of mostly my school districts problem, but since many school districts make this a requirement for higher grade levels PLEASE do something to make it better and more fun especially for older kids, or take out the older kid lessons, so that districts dont make them use it too.
