How Socrato Compare with Other Services

One of the best way to predict, prepare and ace any test is to practice, under simulated conditions, using the old retired or released tests created by the examination organizations themselves. Why pay more for study materials that are of unknown quality?

 

The Socrato Advantage

With Socrato you can process and run diagnostic reports on retired, released exams and practice exams from the College Board, ACT, Inc. and other agencies.

While we do not sell, distribute or copy these exams, practice exams and study materials are widely and inexpensively available from these agencies and other sources. Some tests are available for free for download from the agencies as samples. You can also borrow retired tests from friends and from local libraries. Test books and study materials are available both online and local bookstores for as little as $15.

The problem with these released tests is that many do not have a quality scoring and diagnostic processing solution. The time it takes to score, grade and analyze tests – and create action items — can span anywhere from 15 minute to an hour or more for exams like the SAT or ACT. Interpreting the results and knowing where to focus your study effort can be a cumbersome and daunting task. Even then, many students and parents are left with only a vague idea of where to turn next. Socrato makes it easy!
