Socrative Reviews & Product Details

I improve time management by taking attendance and a review (check-for-understanding) of the previous discussion at the beginning of each class. I can make any assessment and assign them to several classes, as well as, with my fellow teachers as common assessments. I have built up a quiz-bank for the next school year. I love the Latex feature for writing equations in Chemistry and Physics. I also like the ability to add an image or diagram for each question or a series of questions. I like the display for students taking the test of the Socrative App more than the web-based layout. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Socrative should "refresh" with the name of students and their "Progress" as default with "Show Answers" and "Score" off. We don't want to embarrass students, who get the wrong answers, but I always need to refresh my screen to see who is not yet on the test. I want a report per student since they are preregistered uses so I can show these to parents easily. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

One of the very best things about Socrative is its flexibility, it works really well as an assessment tool , an in-class practice tool, and as an out-of-class practice tool for my students. It has proved especially valuable for this year's remote teaching. The randomization feature for order of questions/answers means I have a lot of confidence that my assessments are producing valid results. When I use it as an in-class practice tool, it ensures that every student is participating. I can easily send the in-class sessions out to students at the end of class, where they can act as study guides and reminders of topics and concepts that they need to work on more.

Since it is fully web-based students can use it with equal success on pretty much any kind of computer, tablet, phone, etc., wherever they happen to be.

I like that it is pretty easy to set up specific classes in specific rooms with password security. This allows a granular distribution of materials, for example, two or more groups in the same class can get different questions or be allowed different amounts of time to finish.

I very much like that the creators of Socrative regularly communicate with the users through the web interface, asking for feedback and letting us know about pending changes and improvements. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Socrative is very well designed and implemented, both from user interface and a data management perspectives, so I can't say there is anything about it that I actively dislike. That said, of course there are many ways it could be improved, hence 9 stars out of 10. I know they are actively working on several major improvements, such as adding more question types and continuing to adjust small but significant details in the user interface such as more flexibility when using images or videos . Going forward I would love to see the ability to add randomized numbers and automated computation of correct answers to math questions, more flexibility in assigning partial credit, and perhaps some form of branching type questions.

Where to start. It is super easy to create, assess, and share with Socrative. The variety of options for equation and answer types.

If I had to pick one thing, I think being able to see student responses and their correctness in real time is the best thing. This allows me to modify the lesson instantly based on student understanding and lets students see how well they really understand the material! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Students only see final grade. They can't see individual question results on socrative.com unless I email the results to them. If they could see their individual question results when I end the quiz that would be awesome.

A question bank option would be great so I can make 20 question and each student gets 5 different questions.

A timer on assignments would be great so once I start it they only have a certain amount of time to finish it. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I use it all of the time. I find that it is the best way (for me) to seamlessly review and conduct assessments in my classes. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I experimented with the paid version to limit the number of times that a student can take an assessment. It is a little bulky. I mean there has to be a separate code for each class. I wish there was a way to use my one room, and assess everyone once without having to create student profiles. Students can't always take the assessment in the given time frame, and sometimes they use different names. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The platform is user-friendly, so whoever wants to design a test will find it easy to do so. Personally, I enjoy designing tests using pictures, and Socrative lets us do so although it would be much better if we could upload gif format files. Another great feature is the rooms: one can add students and personalise their access to the platform by assigning Student ID's. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

In many occasions, students write correct answers in open questions, but the platform does not accept the answers. While monitoring the activity, there's no chance to make any change, so one has to wait until the test is finished. Then one can make any changes in the Excel report; however, students receive their reports with lower grades as corrections couldn't be made on the spot. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Tests with pictures- when you print or export them they are beautiful. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Testing is easy and you can share the tests. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It's very quick and easy to write quizzes and to administer them. It's great for identifying difficult topics and/or confusing concepts that the students need more help with. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It works very well for multiple choice but perhaps not as well for more open-ended questions. I haven't really explored using it for open-ended questions as much anyway. It might be helpful to sync each quiz to my google classroom so I could more easily track student progress in each class I teach. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Easy polling for a classroom setting. Doesn't require and additional signin for students and provides an easy interface. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

There's really nothing I dislike. It would be nice if you could interface it with some kind of grading software, but it's really unnecessary. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The Ease of use of the Socrative Platform Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I wouldn't say I dislike anything, but I would like additional things added to the platform:

1. The ability to Download A Quizzes Answer Key on the Dashboard Page.

2. The ability to Boot' a student from the quiz.

3. The ability to Have Multiple Quizzes Running in multiple rooms concurrently.

4. The ability to Host a Feedback Session Individually or as a Class. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

My favorite part of Socrative is how easy it is for the students to both start the quiz and to actually use it. The students actually enjoy being assessed and interact with the material with Socrative. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I understand and appreciate the simplistic approach Socrative has implemented. However, I do wish that there were more advanced options for creating quizzes. For example, the ability to reorder options on multiple choice questions or to be able to reuse questions from other quizzes. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
