The SOCRATES Computer Assisted Test Retrieval System is a bank of test questions and answers for 11 subject matter areas. The system has been available since 1974 to faculty and students of the California State University and College System. Both batch-mode and interactive versions are available. Telephone requests for test forms or reproduction masters can be made one day and received by courier the following day. Users with data-links to the central processor may have tests printed locally on a high speed computer. Computerized test retrieval and test scoring should be an important resource to busy teachers, but faculty have been slow to accept computer assisted test construction. (CH)
