The Socrato learning analytics software provides a painless way for tutors, educational consultants, SES providers and schools to process PSAT tests so you can focus on the teaching and preparing your students for college success.

“Socrato is a living, breathing tool. It can have a life of its own as you use it.”

– Jonathan Sproul, Boston Public Schools

Socrato diagnostic reports for the SAT test come with a series of charts and graphs that provide a detailed analysis of students performance for the test as a whole as well as for each subject area. Our learning analytics software enables students and educators to drill down by topic area to identify a student’s strengths and weaknesses. Some sample charts are provided below.

Organizations of different sizes have different needs when it comes to processing tests and Socrato has created several methods for processing tests. Choose the one that matches your business’ or organization’s needs best:

• Online Bubble sheet processing: Socrato has online “smart” bubblesheets that can be used to capture student answer responses. Students can use the online bubble sheets while taking the test or after their test is completed on paper.
• Bulk upload: A lot of our customers are able to produce a digital output of their student response data. Using Socrato’s upload tool they can process all student responses.
• Scanner Services: Since a lot of K-12 and admissions prep tests are still paper and pencil based, student responses are captured on paper bubblesheets. Socrato has created a utility cum service that allows you to process tests in bulk using a conventional office scanner.

The Socrato software has the capability for students to practice tests online. However the copyright of official PSAT tests belongs to the CollegeBoard. Socrato does not host, sell or distribute any copyrighted PSAT tests or questions.

A preparation booklet is available to students from College Board and NMSQT, which includes one real practice test and you can purchase that directly from the official CollegeBoard site, or from any other official provider. You can use the Socrato online bubble sheets in conjunction with the officially purchased content to process your tests.

If you have a custom test you have developed for PSAT practice, you can upload that onto the Socrato platform for your students to practice. All tests are private unless a customer has explicitly given Socrato permission to share it with other customers.

In some situations some of our expert customers have developed their custom tests for practice and made them available to other customers for use. If the test is listed below you can request access. The price of third party tests is set by the seller.

The following official tests can be processed using the Socrato software. In addition if you have created your own test questions, they can be uploaded and processed using Socrato.

“[Socrato] has been stupendous. We work with loads of people and [Socrato] ranks among the most attentive that I’ve worked with. I call them, they’re right there, they are always upbeat…this is where they’ve been really great, they’ve helped us to recognize what we haven’t seen…been very helpful in allowing us to get into the game. In SAT terms I’ll have to give them a close to an 800.” –- Sam Rosensohn, Founder and Owner of College Planning Partnerships
