Snippets with one bug: which line, what it does wrong, and the fix, from the concepts in the lesson.Open with my material Every kit
What it asks
Write questions that show a short snippet with one bug and ask which line is wrong or what the fix is; explain the concept in the explanation. Application, analysis and evaluation; the explanation reasons from the material and names the concept. Every question answerable from the material.

About this kit.
Snippets with one bug: which line, what it does wrong, and the fix, from the concepts in the lesson.
What the computing and data kits are
Programming, algorithms, data structures, databases, networks, security and computing theory: code read and its output given, lines put in order, a program annotated, complexity classified, terms defined. For students, self-learners and hiring.
Why they are built this way
The only honest test of programming is programming. The code shapes here run the candidate's code against tests, ask what a program prints, and ask for the bug. Multiple choice about code tests reading; these test the skill.
How to use them
Use code-read kits to build fluency, code-exec for the real thing. Paste your own code base or documentation for questions on it. For hiring, combine the code shapes with a test from your own stack.
Written from your material
This kit is a recipe: the shape, the number of questions, the sections and the instructions Procto AI follows. Paste your own material and the questions are written from it, each with the passage its answer came from. Procto AI is asked to keep to your material, and each key is yours to check; every question is yours to edit before anyone sees it.
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.
Questions.
- What is in the Find the bug (college and university) kit?
- Snippets with one bug: which line, what it does wrong, and the fix, from the concepts in the lesson. It writes 10 questions from the material you paste, in the Multiple choice shape, and is asked to keep each to it.
- 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.
