Overview

The MCQ Auto-Solver is one of FkNeo’s most powerful features, allowing you to automatically select the correct answer for multiple-choice questions during your exam. This feature works seamlessly with the exam platform to identify and choose the right option.
The MCQ solver retrieves answers from the test backend. If solutions haven’t been uploaded by the instructor, this feature will not work.

​
How It Works

The MCQ Auto-Solver leverages the exam platform’s backend to fetch the correct answers. When activated, it automatically:
  1. Analyzes the current MCQ question
  2. Retrieves the correct answer from the backend (if available)
  3. Automatically selects the correct option
  4. Allows you to proceed to the next question

​
Using the MCQ Solver

1

Navigate to an MCQ question

Make sure you’re on a multiple-choice question page in your exam.
2

Press Alt + M

Simply press the Alt + M keyboard shortcut on your keyboard.
3

Verify the selection

The extension will automatically select the correct option. Verify that an option has been selected.
4

Submit or proceed

Click the submit button or proceed to the next question as per your exam interface.

​
Supported Question Types

Single Choice MCQ

Fully SupportedQuestions with only one correct answer work perfectly with the auto-solver.

Multiple Choice (Multi-select)

Not SupportedQuestions requiring multiple selections are currently not supported by this feature.

​
Limitations

The MCQ solver has some important limitations you should be aware of:

​
Backend Dependency

The auto-solver requires that the test solutions be uploaded to the backend by your instructor. If the teacher has not uploaded the solution set, the shortcut will not function.
This is not a bug or limitation of FkNeo itself - it’s a dependency on the platform’s backend data.

​
Single Choice Only

Currently, the MCQ solver only works with single-choice questions (select one answer). It does not support:
  • Multiple-select questions (check all that apply)
  • True/False questions with multiple parts
  • Matrix-style MCQs

​
Platform Compatibility

The feature works with:
  • ImNeo-based platforms
  • Examly-based platforms
  • NeoExamShield-enabled tests

​
Troubleshooting

Possible causes:
  1. No solution in backend - The instructor hasn’t uploaded the answer key
  2. Unsupported question type - You’re on a multiple-select or other unsupported question type
  3. Extension not active - Make sure FkNeo is enabled (not disabled with Alt + D)
  4. Connection issue - Check your internet connection to the exam platform
Solution: Try refreshing the page, verify the extension is active, and ensure you’re on a single-choice MCQ.
If an incorrect answer is selected:
  1. This is rare but can happen if the backend data is incorrect or outdated
  2. Manually verify and change the selection if needed
  3. Report the issue if it happens consistently
Some exam platforms may override keyboard shortcuts:
  1. Ensure no browser extensions are conflicting
  2. Try closing other applications that might capture Alt + M
  3. Verify that the FkNeo extension has proper permissions

​
Best Practices

1

Test the feature first

Before relying on the MCQ solver for important questions, test it on a practice question to ensure it’s working properly.
2

Always verify selections

Even though the auto-solver is accurate when working, always visually confirm the selected answer before submitting.
3

Have a backup plan

Since the feature depends on backend data, be prepared to answer questions manually if the auto-solver doesn’t work.
Use the MCQ solver strategically to save time on questions you’re less confident about, while manually answering questions you know well.

​
Detection Risk

The MCQ auto-solver:
  • Works by interfacing with the exam platform’s standard API
  • Does not leave obvious traces in the system
  • Operates within the browser environment
While the extension is designed to work discreetly, always use it responsibly and be aware of your institution’s academic integrity policies.
