Socrative is extremely helpful on so many levels. With the ability to create different rooms, I am able to differentiate my quizzes to accomodate several students at the same time.
Kelly Collins found Socrative:
- Significantly reduces teacher workload“I am able to give immediate feedback when necessary; I can also export reports to my Google drive which saves time by not having to print and save in a different location.”
- Significantly improves teaching efficiency“Immediate feedback whether it's a whole class activity or students are taking an independent quiz/test. When students are able to able to see their scores they can instant feedback.”
- Significantly builds student knowledge“When the students are able to see what questions they missed they are able to see the areas they need to concentrate on for future quizzes.”
- Significantly improves attainment“Quiz scores improved therefore unit exam scores improved.”

A tool that is highly designed with flexibility to edit, review, change and share online where students are enjoying what they are doing with deep absorption of knowledge and retention.
Mah found Socrative:
- Significantly reduces teacher workload“There is time when trainees' feedback and understanding evaluation is so important to check.”
- Significantly improves teaching efficiency“Of course, my supervisor got a wow loudly when at a sudden hen entered the classroom and all class are in a combat and challenge interactively. Besides the teacher is tracking their results and learning curve.”
- Significantly improves attainment“Achieving lesson plan and unit goals is done smoothly by designing all four skills review via Socrative, the genius,.”
- Significantly builds student knowledge“However, if it is connected with artificial intelligence it will so smart in attaining and achieving learning goals and knowledge transfer.”

Although there is only one login, the problem is that "only one attempt" can be entered from different devices with the same ID, the questions cannot be moved while creating the quiz (mass scrolling such as mass deletion), and there are no audio questions (for listening).
INTIZAR found Socrative:
- Slightly reduces teacher workload“There is a "single entry" control issue for quizzes. The student logs in from different devices with the same link and student number. This problem must be solved. Therefore, there should only be 1 login with one device.”
- Significantly improves teaching efficiency
- Slightly improves attainment
- Significantly builds student knowledge

I reduced my workload. However I would find it helpful if the Socrative tests could be started and ended at a scheduled time. That's something I miss... I also miss having a few more linked answer options. For example, if students have to check true or false for a reading comprehension text and then only get a point if they also provide the correct justification.

It is very beneficial for the purposes that I use it for. I can see other subjects where I would use it less frequently, but it is a good product.
Lara Cross found Socrative:
- Does not significantly reduce teacher workload“I haven't focused on it as a way to reduce workload”
- Moderately improves teaching efficiency“Depends on what I'm teaching. It does very well at helping diagnose student errors, which can help me be more efficient”
- Significantly improves attainment“Students who regularly practice my course material find that it helps them remember key ideas”
- Significantly builds student knowledge“Again, my subject area (physics) is one that benefits from frequent practice. Students can quickly review a large number of problems, which helps them build their knowledge base.”

It is a great program that does minimize my workload. It gives good data. You all are constantly improving your platform as well. One thing I would suggest is to be able to print out tests with jumbled questions and answers. There are some students with IEPs that really like the paper version but I have to go in and shuffle the questions myself and then download and print.
Megan found Socrative:
- Moderately reduces teacher workload“When making semester tests, I can combine previous tests together so that I don't have to do that by hand. Also, I can quickly analyze the results of my class and determine what topics I might need to go over again or what topics they understood really well. I also know that it is more difficult for them to cheat with the shuffling of questions and answers.”
- Moderately improves teaching efficiency“After giving a test, I only review the topics that the majority of the students didn't seem to grasp based on the results.”

I would like a feature (and all instructors here) that would detect when a student changes to another browser window during a quiz/test. This would allow us to closer monitor for cheating, since they will look for answers using a variety of sites. I would like this to be an option you can turn on/off since some tests we allow them to click off of test. This should appear as a warning on the overview screen.

It is vaery easy to make quizzes manually in Socrative, and I can share them with colleagues, but I will be exploring other options because I need better upload to the LMS at my university, which is changing to D2L Brightspace in the Fall.
KDenniston found Socrative:
- Does not significantly reduce teacher workload“I use Socrative to track attendance because students cannot change their answer after typing into the quiz causing issues when I want to use the quiz for a grade. I upload each quiz result separately into my university's LMS. This takes too much time. It would be better to link directly to the LMS or collate the quiz results into one excel file on Socrative. This would allow me to upload one file instead of 20 at the end of the term. Also, when I used the roster, there was always 1 or 2 students who could not connect to the quiz, and I have stopped using the roster. This wastes more of my time when I try to upload. I am exploring an alternative such as MS Forms to see if I can save time doing this.”
- Slightly improves teaching efficiency“It takes time from lecture. I wish I could use a test bank to output the questions and upload them directly. Having to use a template is problematic.”
- Does not significantly improve attainment
- Does not significantly build student knowledge“It allows more interaction, but it is not reliable for quizzes.”

I would really like it if it were possible for me to put a time limit on each quiz question within a quiz in teacher-paced mode to make the class roll more smoothly. As it is, I need to keep saying, ok, just a few more seconds,......
Patricia Stampe found Socrative:

- Moderately improves teaching efficiency“feedback on understanding without pausing class to poll the students verbally”

There are some difficulties with it. Specifically in returning student scores and assessments, but most especially an inability to edit quizzes while or after they are being given. Google Forms allows for this and I'll often use that app instead of Socrative for that reason.
Tim found Socrative:
- Significantly reduces teacher workload“Great for student review, quizzes, and tests”
- Moderately improves teaching efficiency“Allows me to more quickly grade and give feedback”
- Significantly improves attainment“Students are able to review information in a helpful format”

Let's compare Socrative to Microsoft Forms. It's better on the one hand, by having room names, however, it would be better to have area codes, or bespoke servers so names can be duplicated for simplicity. e.g. my students have to type in a long room name. Why not have have UK server "UK" and an area number (1 for London). Then rooms can be reused e.g. UK1Yr7a. This is easier to remember than some of the longer winded room names. Socrative also offers storage of data which is great since Forms doesn't do this easily. That said, do I feel I have value for money. Not really.
Mr Morton-Banner found Socrative:
- Significantly reduces teacher workload“Quantitative data for starters and plenaries”
- Does not significantly improve teaching efficiency“I can see it would be great for teaching and learning, but I find it too restrictive e.g. I would love some variation by allowing students to post to a board.”
- Moderately improves attainment“I can measure progress over time”
- Moderately builds student knowledge“I allows positive embedding through progress checks within a spiral curriculum”

some important features missing. Like ability to copy selected questions from one quiz to another ... Scoring would improve massively if points in multiple choice questions would count in %. (e.g. if a question has 4 answers and 2 are correct. If the student picks only 1 correct answer, he/she should get a half point. Answeres that are selected but are wrong should reduce the score of the question.

Socrative could use more review tools beyond the Space Race. Creative games would be fun for the kids while also helping them review the lesson content. One note about the Space Race as it currently works is that it scores based on if the questions were answered correctly by any member when done as a team. I recommend that the Space Race give the option to base their overall score on how many correct answers there were in the team instead.
Arrash found Socrative:
- Moderately reduces teacher workload“The Space Races work as a great review tool and the quizzes work well because they can automatically grade the results saving me time.”

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.

- 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.”

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
