I applied to IXL with my resume and writing sample, and they emailed me a sample assignment to complete for the next step. I followed the instructions exactly as given and submitted it on time. A few days later, I got a generic rejection email with no feedback, no rubric, and no explanation about what they didn’t like or what they were looking for. That was the entire process. Honestly, it just felt like guessing, and there was no real transparency or useful information given at any point.
