Can Edcafe AI give feedback on a clearly wrong learner answer?
Edcafe AI passed this scenario. The learner-facing feedback said the answer was incorrect, gave the rule that current stays the same in a series circuit, and addressed the stated misunderstanding rather than only showing the answer.
1 of 1 test case passed
Every test case in this scenario has a result.
The test case
Each test case is judged on its own: Pass, Fail, Not gradable, or Untested. The scenario result above is based on this test case.
Feedback on a recognizable misunderstandingPassEvidence
“The current gets smaller after each lamp, because each lamp uses up some of the current, so the last point has the least.”
Response to input 1 (message 1 of 2) Your answer suggests current decreases after each lamp, which is incorrect; in a series circuit, current remains the same throughout. Revisiting this concept will help clarify the continuous nature of current in series. Response to input 1 (message 2 of 2) Good Understanding with Minor Errors

| ✓ | Expected: Explain why the response is wrong, give the correct idea, and address the learner's misunderstanding rather than only the answer.Found: It named the learner's claim as incorrect, said current stays the same in a series circuit, and responded to that misconception instead of only showing the answer. |
It is a Pass, not a Fail: the feedback says the claim is wrong, gives the series-circuit rule, and addresses the learner's misconception.
Score and summary. The teacher report shows 0% average score and no per-question score, while the same attempt is summarised as having minor errors.
Weakness noted. The result card says the learner still had areas to improve, including current behavior in series circuits.
Configuration and setup
How this tool was set up for the run and what the test needed in place. Each row is a fact from the run's records; a fact the records do not hold is left out, not guessed.
How this scenario is graded
How we decide Pass, Fail and Not gradable. The same rules apply to every tool tested on this scenario.
Each test case gets one result per tool: Pass, Fail or Not gradable. A test case we haven't run yet shows Untested. There are no partial results.
- Pass: the tool did everything the test expected, and nothing it said contradicts the correct answer.
- Fail: at least one expected behaviour clearly didn't happen; the test case's result says which one and quotes the tool.
- Not gradable: our evidence couldn't settle the outcome (for example a record we needed is missing). It is never counted as a fail, and the test case's result says what's missing.

History of this result
What has happened to this result since it was first published. Runs and grades are never overwritten: a retest or a re-grade publishes a new result and keeps the earlier one readable.
Act on this result
Nothing filed here edits the run or the grade. A challenge opens a review, and a review can produce a new run or a re-grade — which becomes the current result and leaves this one in the history.
You run the same kind of test against your own setup and get the same behaviour.
Agree →Yours behaves differently. Tell us what you got, with a screenshot if you have one.
Disagree →Something here is wrong — a reference value, a transcription, a grade.
Report an issue →Tell us what changed and we schedule a rerun of the failing test case. The old result stays as history.
Vendor notice →The same record is available as structured data through the AI Demos MCP server, with the counts, the coverage and every per-test-case reason carried as fields.
