Socrative is a great website to use that allows for quick and easy grading of online quizzes and other quiz-like assignments.

Below is a step-by-step guide on how to use Socrative including a screencast to watch, Q&A, Pros and Cons, and examples on how to use this website in a classroom.

Step-by-Step

This is the homepage of the website Socrative where students and teachers can log in to their respective accounts.

Once you are logged in as a teacher, this is the page you will see. There are many options to use such as a quiz, space race, or a quick question.

This screen will come up after clicking on "Quiz". This is where you can select any quiz that you have either created or favorited.

Once a quiz is selected, this screen allows you to customize the quiz results, such as instant answers, final scores, and the ability to shuffle questions or answers.

Once the quiz is in progress, you will be able to track who answered, what they answered, and which question the quiz is on.

Once the quiz is finished, it allows you to pick different ways to get the results of the quiz and even gives different options such as email or download.

FAQs

What class size is possible?

The maximum number of students who can comfortably participate in a single Socrative Free classroom is 50.

The maximum number of students allowed to participate in a public or private Socrative PRO classroom is 150.

Can I have multiple rooms?

Socrative Free only allows one classroom per account. If you would like multiple rooms (up to 10), you will need to upgrade to Socrative PRO.

How long can I leave an activity running?

Socrative only allows you to have one activity (per room) running at a time. This activity will remain active until you click Finish or choose to start another activity. We recommend leaving the Socrative app or browser open so you can watch the results roll in. Don't worry about closing your browser or shutting down your computer—the activity will not end. Until the quiz is manually concluded, you can keep it open for as long as you want or need.

Can I delete reports?

Yes, Socrative allows you to delete unnecessary reports as needed. Please note that you can only delete the reports created by you.

Will my content still be translated if I upgrade to Socrative PRO?

Absolutely! All your existing content will remain translated.
