    Synap: “Synap is an online exam and assessment platform for creating, delivering, proctoring, marking and analysing secure digital assessments.”

    • Does Synap run or execute candidate code?

      “No — Synap doesn’t compile or execute code, and there’s no built-in code sandbox. Instead you assess coding knowledge with structured questions (spot the bug, predict the output, explain the error, complete the line) that mark objectively and instantly, plus free-text answers for writing code that your examiners mark.”

    • How do you assess coding without running code?

      “By testing understanding directly. Drop syntax-highlighted code into a question, then ask about it with single best answer, cloze/drag-and-drop or short-answer formats — “what is the output?”, “which line causes the error?”, “drag the correct statement into place”. These are marked the moment they’re submitted.”

    • Can candidates write code?

      “Yes. Free Text answers let candidates write or edit code with syntax-highlighted code blocks, and you can provide an answer template that pre-fills the box with starter code for “fix this function” tasks. Free-text code is marked by your examiners, so you can apply rubrics and multiple marker roles.”
