What is in the Authors and their books kit?

10 questions made by rule with fresh numbers every time it is opened, each with an explanation. Forty classic novels and the people who wrote them, asked both ways.

Does it cost anything?

A free account opens every kit. Procto AI’s writing runs on a monthly allowance that the free plan includes; a children’s kit uses none of it, because its questions are made by rule.

What happens after the quiz?

The study screen shows the answer and the explanation after each question, then the questions missed, and offers a retry of those. Come back in a few days and take it again: what is still right then is what is known.

About this kit.

Forty classic novels and the people who wrote them, asked both ways.

What the trivia and hobbies kits are

General knowledge and quiz-night rounds: capitals, flags, dates, science facts, film, music, literature, sport and the rest, many made fresh by rule so a pub quiz is never the same twice.

Why they are built this way

Trivia is the oldest quiz, and it is also memory practice in disguise. The rule kits make new rounds each time; the host screen ranks the players live; the memory shapes turn a round into a drill.

How to use them

Host a kit on the projector with the live screen and a code for every player. Or take a kit alone in study mode for the facts you keep forgetting.

Made by rule

This kit is made in code: every time it opens, the numbers, words or arrangements are drawn fresh from its rule, so the same kit taken twice is two different quizzes from one rule. There is no answer bank to find, and the practice never runs out. Each question carries its explanation, shown at once in study mode.

The shape: multiple choice

The workhorse of assessment: one right answer among plausible options, marked at once, comparable across every student. Written well, the wrong options map the misconceptions in the room.

EdProcto marks selection questions by rule the moment the answer is given. Several-answer shapes give credit for the part that is right when partial credit is on; negative marking takes one over the number of wrong options, so guessing earns nothing on average; a confidence rating earns a bonus when sure and right and a larger penalty when sure and wrong, so it pays only when it is honest. Options can be shuffled per student, and the analysis shows which wrong option beat the right one.

Taking it

Open it in study mode for the answer and the explanation after each question, and a retry of only what you missed. Switch to exam mode for the real conditions. It comes due again in a few days; the dashboard shows what is due and what you missed last time. Share it with a code for a class, print it as a paper, or host it on a screen for a room.
