Used Socrative weekly for 3-4 years

Sep 2023

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

Fabio found Socrative:
  • Moderately reduces teacher workload
    Sending email to students with automatically corrected answers and explanation of the correct answer
  • Significantly improves teaching efficiency
    I use it to focus weekly on the main topics of the previous week's lessons, so I keep track of my progress in the school programme
  • Slightly improves attainment
  • Significantly builds student knowledge
    Weekly tests push them to study constantly

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. Par contre avec l'augmentation importante du prix mon employeur a décidé de ne pas renouveler nos licences PRO. Avoir eu le prix avant COVID, je l'aurais payé 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!

Reply from Socrative:Hi William! Thanks for the great review. We're thrilled to hear that Socrative is making an impact on your students and helping you optimize your teaching and assessment. I'm happy to say we do have opportunities for volume discounts if you have multiple faculty members using Socrative - I'll have the team reach out with more info! Thanks again! - Dan

Thanks for making Socrative part of your teaching and learning. - Dan
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.
