What it asks

Write four-option questions with one right answer and plausible wrong ones, in the style of a skills test for a software developer.

About this kit.

From the job description and the material you paste (a product sheet, a process, a style guide, a sample of the work): the questions a skills test for this role asks, written from your material. Share it with its code; the results sit side by side.

What the hiring and skills tests kits are

The reasoning battery for candidates and employers: numerical, verbal, abstract, logical, mechanical and situational reasoning, data checking and engineering basics, every one made by rule so each candidate sees a fresh paper with the same mix of questions. And role kits for sales, software, nursing, accounting, customer service and more, written from the employer's own material.

Why they are built this way

A test that can be rehearsed measures rehearsal. The battery is made by rule, so there is no paper to leak and no bank to memorise; what it measures is the reasoning. The role kits and a test from your own product knowledge measure the knowledge the job needs. A score is a score on this test; EdProcto gives no IQ and claims no norm.

How to use them

For a candidate: practise the battery in study mode with the working shown, then timed. For an employer: paste the product knowledge and the criteria, or pick a role kit, send the test's code to each candidate, and read the results side by side.

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 Hiring: a software developer kit?
From the job description and the material you paste (a product sheet, a process, a style guide, a sample of the work): the questions a skills test for this role asks, written from your material. Share it with its code; the results sit side by side. 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.
