Overall, I am happy with Socrative; however, I cannot say a 10 because recently had an issue that interrupted my rostered classes. Eventually, the issue was resolved, but it took quite a lot of energy on my part to get Socrative to fix it.
Greg found Socrative:
- Moderately reduces teacher workload“Immediate feedback for students; I don't have to collect papers and review them individually to give students personalized and whole-group feedback. Students get to see the application of concepts in action.”
- Moderately improves teaching efficiency“I can review the concepts that the whole class seems to be struggling with; then, I can revisit the concepts after the some more mini lessons.”
- Moderately improves attainment
- Slightly builds student knowledge

The product is great but the number of tests that you can have on there is limited, for someone that has to cover a broad array of subjects within my specialist area 20 tests for the yearly subscription is a small amount, but similarly the more expensive option is too expensive for the additional benefits. We would benefit from another level of individual membership that allows for unlimited exams but isn't for an enterprise.
Dave Bromley found Socrative:
- Significantly reduces teacher workload“It saves having to recreate paperwork from scratch, it allows us to monitor progression and it also allows us to adapt questions easily when regulations are updated.”
- Significantly improves teaching efficiency“Time can be given to students that need more 1 to support when the other learners are given an exam to test knowledge or embed what they have learned”
- Moderately improves attainment“It help students that find engaging in the classroom difficult, and also allows all students the chance to embed the learning they have achieved”
- Significantly builds student knowledge

An excellent tool to use as a formative assessment method for your students. It also helps to promote learning of previous material and retrieval through the use of quizzes and tests

Students like it It helps me save energies (tests are performed year after year with little adjustments) The email sent to students is not just a document with wrong/correct answers and a grade, but a tool to start revising the different topics thanks to the comments to each question/answer

- Slightly improves attainment“no examples”

Excellente interface et facilitée d'apprentissage le prix est restrictif par contre ... avant la covid les prix étaient plus abordable ce qui m'aurait permis de le payer de ma poche.

I have recommended SOCRATIVE to other faculty because of all of the qualities it has versus other products. Their only hesitation is the cost per year, I have no problem with the out of pocket cost per year for me because of the value SOCRATIVE provides for me and my students!

I appreciate using this medium, and I hope colleagues can also benifit.
Elaine Stevens found Socrative:
- Significantly reduces teacher workload“It is a wonderful ease that student answers are immediately recorded and graded, so I can simply record them. The administration plan has more than once remove student computers, so students using their cell phones can still answer my finals on b.socrative. Also, instead of creating 2-3 versions with questions and options in diverse order, I can simply choose to diversify the assesments with a button option. This helps reduce copying/cheating in my crowded classroom.”
- Significantly improves teaching efficiency“Socrative options to mix question order and to record graded answers.”
- Significantly improves attainment“I can quickly learn student understanding.”
- Significantly builds student knowledge“If I missed teaching the subject, I can reteach. Some times I allow students to immediately retake their quiz, as b.socrative does not allow correction of their previous answer, like one can do with pencil tests.”
