JM Jhotisha M. Associate Teaching Professor Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.) 7/9/2026 "Rich Psychology Resources and Great Support, with Room for Better Rubric Grading" 4/5 What do you like best about Achieve? Achieve offers a lot of resources for my Introductory Psychology courses, including adaptive quizzes, videos, flashcards, and chapter quizzes. It’s a great tool for students to practice test-taking, check their learning, and access additional information when they need it. The Achieve website is easy to navigate and well laid out, so finding and using the different tools feels straightforward. I also appreciate features like read-aloud and highlighting for students. I’ve had very good support and onboarding help as well; the Achieve team has been quick to respond to my inquiries and has offered support in setting up my course each term. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What do you dislike about Achieve? I appreciate the new feature to grade short answer questions. However, I would like to be able to integrate my own rubric with different levels for each grading category on Achieve. That way, if a student gives a somewhat good answer for one category, they can get part marks and the grading instructor or teaching assistant does not have to commit this half mark to memory while grading the rest of the answer. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What problems is Achieve solving and how is that benefiting you? Student engagement, providing student with different avenues and resources for learning and self-testing. Helping students set goals and learn about study strategies.

Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.) 7/9/2026 "Versatile Tool for Academic Testing Needs" 4/5 What do you like best about Achieve? I like that there's a lot of questions already premade for Achieve, which helps in limiting cheating with a huge pool of diverse questions. It's great because we can ask diverse questions to students, and it's easy to create our own questions. I also like that we can easily edit the premade questions, which makes it more personal to the classroom. I felt like it was easier to build my own questions in Achieve. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What do you dislike about Achieve? I think there should be more options for once a test is done to make the test invisible to the students, but still visible to us as instructors, namely in the grade book. That is, the students can't see their grades, but we can see it in the grade book. It would be great if we could add our own graphical questions and also if we could have short answered questions corrected by Achieve. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What problems is Achieve solving and how is that benefiting you? Achieve helps limit cheating with a large pool of questions and lets us create custom questions, making assessments diverse and personal. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.) 7/8/2026 "Efficient, User-Friendly Tool for Enhancing English Skills" 4/5 What do you like best about Achieve? I like that Achieve is user-friendly, making it easy to create assignments. I appreciate having several assessments to choose from, which can be scaled from low to high stakes. Achieve helps me be efficient with course preparation and strengthens students' essays through its assessments. I also like that there are built-in essays, peer reviews, and rubrics. Achieve provides resources for logical fallacies, reading improvement, and a variety of assessments. It’s easy to set up without too many steps, and I enjoy learning about new features. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What do you dislike about Achieve? I can assign points to the readings, but students can easily get the points by clicking on the text. I would like this feature to be more accurate reporting how much a student read instead of them clicking on the link. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What problems is Achieve solving and how is that benefiting you? I use Achieve for efficient course prep, and it strengthens students' essays with LearningCurve assignments. The range of assessments helps sharpen skills, and the built-in essays, peer reviews, and rubrics are great. It's user-friendly, easy to set up, and offers more resources than InQuizitives.

Senior Software Engineer Information Technology and Services Enterprise (\> 1000 emp.) 9/4/2019 "Sapling - Learning Platform and good Communication" 4/5 What do you like best about Achieve? Sapling As a learning platform is very interactive with the students and it offers a quality education online with advanced techniques like 3D Diagrams and stuff. It also offer many Assignments to the students so that they can have better understanding of the concept and the subject. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What do you dislike about Achieve? The main thing I dislike about the sapling is the inital login details as is take more time and also it asks to set three security questions, I mean what the use of three questions. The chat box features need updates as it always remains open and does not provides any means to close it. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. Recommendations to others considering Achieve: yes I recommend using Sapling Learning for education purpose as you can enroll yourself into many courses and learn good stuff online from any corner of the world.

Sapling learning has much more interactive qualities than most other educational suites, including 3-D diagrams, multi-step questions as well as color-coded grades for assignments that update immediately. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What do you dislike about Achieve? The lack of leniency in question grading often creates a lot of complaints from students. This is frustrating as each question is graded differently, so often getting a multiple-choice question wrong will drop the grade much faster than a synthesis question, or "shot answer" question. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What problems is Achieve solving and how is that benefiting you? Homework and textbook bundling is much easier than using paper for over 1000 organic chemistry students. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
