don't do it
afficient academy is honestly way too strict like it expects you to be perfect all the time and if you mess up even a little it feels like the whole system punishes you for it instead of actually helping you learn it just makes you stressed out and worried about your score the whole thing is more about getting everything right than actually understanding stuff it doesnt really care that everyone learns differently or at their own pace honestly they need to calm down a bit and make it less stressful for students

Good Resource to Practise Math
We started to have afficient math since 3rd grade. They provide tokens for the lessons. My son really works hard and wants to keep his streak. The longest streak he kept is 2 years.
Now he is in 7th grade and he is still using it. He becomes more confident in his math.

Hello Website Critic! Thank you for sharing your thoughts. We’re sorry to hear that you're experiencing frustration with the scoring system. Afficient Math uses an adaptive approach that ensures students fully master each concept before moving ahead, which sometimes means additional practice questions appear when accuracy drops. This helps reinforce understanding and build long-term confidence. However, we understand this can feel discouraging, and we’d be happy to review your account to ensure your learning settings are optimized. Please contact your Account Manager so we can assist you further.
Excellent Advisior, Smart System
My kids started using Afficient in Jan this year and have made noticeable progress since then. I especially want to express my gratitude to my advisor Jane. From the very beginning, she has been very responsible, professional, and patient--not only explaining the structure of the entire program but giving reliable advice based on my kids' assessment and learning pace. She is always available whenver we have questions, which give us, as parents, great peace of mind and no worries. Highly recommended for Jane!

Big improvement for only using 3 months
Gretta made a big improvement of last semester with the help of Affcient Math
Which she just used for about 3 months. “Incredible 1 year growth” is what he teacher comments on the math report card, she’s at grade 5 level when done the diagnostic test on May 2025.
We will keep using it, thank you.

Why Afficient should be your last choice when looking for a math program
DISCLAIMER: Nothing I say here is exaggeration or hyperbole.
As a 12 year old kid, this website was great for learning math... until i wasn't. My experience was great, at least for grades 4-8, which compared to later grades were a breeze.
First, as many others have said, the scoring system is overly punishing and the so called "demos" barely explain anything.
Second, the system is a buggy, glitchy, mess. Never in my life have I gotten more frustrated then when I got a question wrong, even though, according to the help button, it is correct! The timer on timed questions can also just not work and freeze at 0 seconds.
Third, the questions are repetitive, and they loop after a certain amount of questions. Now this might not seem too bad, but it actually allows you to cheat. How? Well, all you have to do is open two tabs of this website on your browser of choice, go to the same skill, have one of the tabs be on the TO BE LEARNED version of the skill, and refresh this tab until both tabs are on the same question. From there, use the help button on the TO BE LEARNED version of the skill, which will not affect your points or your score, and will give you the answer!
There are multiple different variations of this but they are only possible because Afficient messed up badly, and I'm not sure whether they refuse to fix it or are just unaware. This is the only thing making my progress somewhat possible, which should say something about how poorly the whole system is designed.
Last, the different modes.
TO BE LEARNED is either quite easy or damn near impossible without cheating. The "demos" mostly suck but some actually do their job and explain the concept. Overall not good, but the best out of all three.
Proficiency is just bad. There's not much to say here, but the timed Level 3 versions of each skill either give too little or too much time. The 2 review questions at the start of each set of questions might seem like a good idea, but in reality are pointless and annoying. People can review on their own, they can make their own decisions. They should not be forced to review.
Now onto the worst one, Afficiency.
This is the thing most reviewers seem to hate, and honestly, I agree. The scoring system before was punishing, but this is absolutely brutal. A single minuscule error can set you back by over 30 minutes, and you're lucky if you get more than 0.01 or 0.02 score on a correct answer. The timer freeze glitch also happens here.
A bit of advice for parents looking to improve their kid's math skills: use anything else. IXL, Khan Academy, hell, even KUMON is better then this absolute shithole of a website.
All in all, Afficient is a good idea, but it is executed horribly.

Hello Z Louise,
We appreciate your detailed review.
We are glad that your experience was positive while learning in Grades 4-8. We apologize that you have found our system to be buggy and glitchy at times. It can happen for many reasons. Whenever such a situation arises, we recommend that you report it to your account manager/teachers/our support line so that we can resolve it as soon as possible.
As far as cheating is concerned, in this day and age, numerous tools are available for those who deliberately want to cheat. However, as a student, you must remember and realize that your parents enrolled you in our program to learn and achieve academic success. Cheating will not benefit you in any aspect of life, so we advise you to focus on learning and mastering the skills. If you manage to progress in the learning program by cheating, it’s truly unfortunate, and we regret that you’re wasting your parents’ hard-earned money.
The two review questions in a Proficiency session are randomly selected to assess whether the student has retained the skills they learned previously, and they aren’t pointless; in fact, they are helpful to many students.
We understand that some students find it difficult and aren’t happy with the scoring system in the Afficiency session, which is the final stage before passing a grade with a given accuracy rate goal. When you make mistakes in the Afficiency session, your accuracy rate may go down. To improve your accuracy rate, you must solve a significant number of problems accurately, especially when your accuracy rate is over 90%. Focus, slow down, and check before submitting answers are the keys to remember.
We hope you focus on learning the skills honestly and achieve academic success. Best wishes!

Hello Laura! Thanks for your review. We really appreciate it.
Efficient programs
The math curriculum in Canadian public schools differs significantly from that of the United States. Although my daughter was already a top student in her class, I discovered some gaps in her foundational knowledge when I introduced her to Afficient in sixth grade. After taking the placement test, it became clear that she was still missing some key fourth-grade concepts. She spent about a month strengthening those foundations, followed by two months catching up on the fifth-grade material. The program not only helped her fill in those gaps, but also improved her calculation speed through timed exercises, which enhanced her fluency and confidence. With clearly assigned weekly learning goals, she always knew what to focus on, and the built-in reward system encouraged her to stay motivated and take initiative. I highly recommend this program to children who need extra support or wish to accelerate their learning.

Great help to my daughter
My daughter has been using Afficient for both English and Math since last year. It's a great software that really helped her self-learning. It rewards kids with tokens when they finished their weekly task and the tokens can be redeemed into gifts or Amazon gift cards. It's a big motivation to my daughter:). She did not want to stop finishing the weekly task even when we went on vacations. I felt so proud of her. And I can tell the big progress that she has made on both subjects. The supporting teacher was also very nice and responsible. She helped to monitor my daughter's progress and gave me many useful suggestions. I will continue to use Afficient.
