"Great for tracking student knowledge and immediate progress."
3.5/5
What do you like best about Socrative?

I love every feature they provide for formative assessments. It's instant grading for multiple choice makes grading easy. I like that I can pace students or allow them to complete it in their own time when there is a roster, which is great for providing extended time when a student needs it outside of the class period. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Socrative?

I would like to be able to provide student feedback individually to comment on their responses and allow learning to take place after they submit their responses (or while it's in session). I would like to be able to turn on/off student paced mode (ex. I pace student through a "quiz" and as a daily journal prompt but then open it up at the end of the week to allow them to go back and edit or respond to questions missed if they were absent. This is helpful especially in the remote or blended setting when you don't see students face to face. Audio feedback from the teacher would be great as well.

I would like a daily attendance feature (clock in/out) Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Effective Assessment Tool"
4.5/5
What do you like best about Socrative?

I love how I can make my tests unique to what I need and how easy it is to get the results and monitor my students' progress. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Socrative?

I have a few wish list items:

* Being able to make a copy of the tests with an answer key.

* Being able to make an individual classroom where I can add and delete students even while a test is taking place. With so many of my students going back and forth from a traditional blended situation and schedule changes, it was a bit of a nightmare. I do not like to leave tests open longer than a class hour to monitor their progress and to check for cheating.

*When a student enters a test it locks them from being able to open any other tabs. I am not sure if this is possible but thought I would throw it out there.

*If the test could read the questions and answer options to the students. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Socrative for Virtual Learning"
5/5
What do you like best about Socrative?

I love that I am able to see that my students are logged in and how they are progressing on assignments. I also like the option of providing feedback for questions. This has been especially helpful if I have used an assignment as a study guide for an upcoming exam. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Socrative?

I wish there was an option, especially with the Pro account, that you could run more than one class at a time. There have been a couple of times that I am giving a test in Socrative and students did not finish before my next class started, and I had to end the assignment to move on. This would be especially useful for the few asynchronous days that we have. I could launch an assignment for all four of my classes at the same time. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Amazing Online Real-Time Assessment Tool"
5/5
What do you like best about Socrative?

I love the ability to see real time data on quizzes. It allows me the opportyunity to provide help to each individual student in the moment, instead of waiting until the quiz is complete. I also enjoy the ability for students to log in using their own account ID and password. The way questions are presented is very accomodating to students, with one question displayed at a time and the ability to see which questions they have completed from the task bar at the bottom. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Socrative?

I wish there was a time-limit feature for quizzes on pro-accounts. I'd love the ability to set a time limit for students once they have logged in to the quiz. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Socrative - great for basic assessments--could use a bit more."
4/5
What do you like best about Socrative?

I like how easy it is to export the quizzes, share the quizzes and watch as students are working on the assignments.

It is easy for students to navigate the site and to complete assessments. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Socrative?

That you cannot set a time frame for the quiz to open or close.

It would also be nice to have timestamps as to when the student(s) log in and log out of the program. Higher accountability.

It is also a shame that you cannot add audio files to the questions.

I am a language teacher and teach remotely. Both these features are necessary for me. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Love Socrative!"
5/5
What do you like best about Socrative?

Easy for me to use, and my students enjoy it. It offers a quick way to check learning, it is easy to poll students or get them to anonymously vote on winners in debates, for example, by using a multiple choice of GOV or OPPS. I use it also to solidify my students' learning, as I will run practice versions of quizzes and they can retake them repeatedly and learn the information in advance of a test for marks. I can also share tests easily, or import tests from other teachers. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Socrative?

I really wish the tests could be copied over from Google Forms using Google Sheets. Some of my tests must be on my district's controlled Chromebooks, and Google Forms allows me to lock the tests when those devices are used. If I could copy a test of mine from Socrative over to Google Forms, it would make my life much easier. I don't like Google Forms AT ALL. It doesn't allow Space Races, or even number the questions that I put in. I actually find it difficult because Google Forms seems to automatically adds the OTHER answer choice when I put in Multiple Choice, and I don't want that. Google Forms is hateful. So, I would continue to use Socrative except in those testing circumstances. Would you folks reconsider allowing us to download (or upload) quizzes in Google Sheets or Excel format, as you once did? Any crossover there would be so good.

Within Socrative itself, it would also be awesome to quickly merge existing tests. So, for example, if I have a test on Act 1 and another test on Act 2 of the same play, if I could join those two tests that would be wonderful. Currently, I have to make a copy of one, typically Act 1, and then retype all of the information. An option to merge existing tests into a third copy would be lovely. Merging more than 2 would be even better.

Allowing the teacher to turn on or off a voice-over option, for just specific students, would also be a benefit. This would simplify the process for students with learning disabilities. However, they have devices that would allow that, so it is not a huge issue. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Great Assessment Tool"
4.5/5
What do you like best about Socrative?

Socrative a good variety of ways to assess the students. Being able to watch their performance live has been a great during these days of remote instruction and letting me know if students are actively working on the assessment or if they are perhaps struggling in need guidance. Also, unlike other assessment tools, if I close out a particular assessment because time is up, Socrative records all student work without the student having to click on a submit button. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Socrative?

Two areas that Socrative with find a way to include in their options for questions. One is a matching feature and the second an automatic time function so that after the alloted time is complete the assessment is automatically ended. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Socrative is Our Number One Assessment Tool"
5/5
What do you like best about Socrative?

Socrative's live feedback is the best tool to meet students' needs. I love that as they take their assessments, I can ask for them to review their work and that produces far more learning. It's very consistent (not glitchy) and easy to use. The kids like that they can improve their score by getting feedback from the teachers before submitting their test. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Socrative?

It would be great if we could have questions for a passage without having to post the passage to every single question. That's how we get around the kids not having to go back to only one question and then coming back to the question that they were trying to answer. I wish you also had more question choices than multiple choice, TF or short response. I wish you had graphic organizers that could be filled in, draggable items, click on an item, matching items, insertion of a sound clip or video clip, essay responses with rubric. In math, I wish that they could insert a picture of their work along with their multiple choice answer so that we can easily grade digitally and verify that they didn't find the answer online. It's a lot to ask, but we love your program! We would love for it to be all that it could be. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Not a dislike but something that will be very useful: different types of exercises, such as matching sentences or fill spaces, with dragable elements. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
