Socrato is a place to make your learning effort easier and more productive. We will show you how you should be spending your precious study time based on your goals.
The word Socrato is a play on the name of the ancient Greek philospher Socrates - the creator of the Socratic teaching method and a teacher of another great philosopher, Plato. For more information on Socrates and the Socratic method we recommend you go to www.wikipedia.com.

Most other learning tools replicate pencil and paper learning processes. Socrato brings the power of computing and data analysis to your studies. We constantly analyze your learning patterns, quantify your strengths and weaknesses and allow you to customize your practice session based on your goals.

The Socrato team is composed of students, teachers, entrepreneurs, technologists and few full time programmers who are looking to improve the learning and study process.

The idea originated when one of the kids in the family was preparing for the SAT. She was wasting lots of time analyzing what needs to be done next. Her frustated parent looked for some software / automated solution in the market place and did not find one. So they built their first prototype with the help of teachers, tutors and students. After few name changes and lots of effort Socrato has developed into its current state.

In order to comply with various rules and regulation you need to be 13 years of age or older.

In “Practice Mode” you can answer all the questions, skip around, go backwards and forwards in the test, all without a time limit. You can also opt to view a timer while you’re practicing. To select this option, click on the checkbox next to “Click to show timer.”
In “Review Mode” you are only able to read the questions (and answers if you choose to check this option). You are not able to answer the questions. This mode is meant for people who want to skim through the questions on the test without actually testing themselves. This is useful for people who want to see what is covered on a particular test in order to study or prepare for the test.

Select the checkboxes next to every question you want to practice. You can choose any subset of the total list of questions—any one or more questions you want. Then click on the button “Take Test.”

From the “My Tests” tab, click on the link “My Sessions” in the upper left corner. Then click on the “replay” icon in the far right hand of the row of the session you want to replay.

You can find your scores from all the tests you have ever taken on Socrato on your home page after you have logged-in. This score tells you how many questions and what percentage you got right. For more detail on your score you can click on the “My Tests” tab, and then click the link “My Test Results” in the upper left corner. For every test you have taken you will find in the table a tally of all the questions you got right, the number you skipped, left over, and simply got wrong.

From the “Test List” page select the test you want to print by clicking on the check box next to it. Then click on the “Print” or “Email” or “Save” link in the upper right corner of the page depending on which you’d like to do.

From the “Test List” page or from “My Tests” check the box next to the Quiz containing the questions you want to print. Then click on the button “View Questions.” From there check the boxes next to the questions you want to print, email, or save. When you’re done selecting your subset of questions, click on the “Print/Email/or Save” link in the upper right corner depending on what you’d like to do.

When you finish taking a test, you are taken to a page with all of your test results. On that page you can click on the “Print,” “Email,” or “Save” link on the upper right hand corner to print the outcome or score of your practice session including the number of questions skipped, left over, correct and incorrect.

To see each test question with your responses you can do either one of two things:
