Grockit

Grockit was an online learning platform that focused on standardized test preparation and collaborative learning. It offered practice questions, study guides, and social features aimed at helping students prepare for exams such as the SAT, ACT, GRE, GMAT, and LSAT. The platform's core functionality centered around adaptive learning, where the difficulty and content presented to a student adjusted based on their performance. This personalized learning experience was designed to identify and target specific areas where the student needed the most improvement.

Grockit distinguished itself through its emphasis on social learning. Students could connect with each other, form study groups, and collaborate on solving practice problems. This collaborative aspect sought to recreate the benefits of in-person study groups in an online environment. The platform also incorporated game mechanics, such as points and badges, to motivate students and enhance engagement.

Founded in 2007, Grockit was acquired by Kaplan in 2013. While the Grockit platform itself was eventually discontinued, the underlying technology and pedagogical approaches influenced subsequent Kaplan offerings. The company's legacy remains as an early pioneer in adaptive learning and social learning within the test preparation industry.
