You have been finishing your assignments. Your grades are probably fine. But there is a question sitting in the back of your head that you have not answered honestly yet.
The AI Coding Dependency Test answers it. Tell me where you are, I send you the test, and we turn it into a Coding Independence Score plus a breakdown of which skills are actually yours.
Straight answer on how this works today: the test is sent and scored by me personally, not generated instantly in your browser. That is also why you get a real read on your answers instead of an automated number.
No judgment. Nobody sees your score but you.
If any of these made you uncomfortable, that is the exact feeling this test is for.
Could you explain the code you submitted last week, line by line, to your professor?
This is the question that ends the illusion fastest. Most students can describe what the code does but not why it was written that way.
If your next exam is closed book, do you know how it goes?
A grade built with AI assistance tells you nothing about how you perform when the tools are gone.
Could you rebuild your last assignment from a blank file?
Finishing is not the same as understanding. The blank file is where the difference shows up.
10 to 15 programming questions, answered without AI, across the areas that decide whether you pass a closed book exam.
Sample result
Coding Independence Score: 42%
"You understand basic syntax, but your problem solving and object oriented programming need work. These are exactly the types of gaps that become painful during exams and technical interviews."
Keep using it. AI makes you faster, and pretending otherwise is bad advice. The goal here is not AI avoidance, it is AI independence: being able to put the tools down and still think, code, debug, and explain your work when the situation demands it.
You cannot fix a gap you cannot see. Start by measuring it.
Tell me where you are and I will send you the test, plus a read on the gaps that matter most for your specific course.
Your score points at one of these. You never have to guess which.

A short set of programming questions you answer without AI. It produces a Coding Independence Score plus a breakdown across 10 skill areas, so you can see what you genuinely know and what you have been outsourcing.
You fill in the form on this page and I email you the test, then score it with you. It is not an instant automated quiz in your browser. That is slower, and it is also why you get a real read on your answers rather than a number.
Yes. The test is free and no credit card is required.
No. The goal is AI independence, not AI avoidance. You should keep using AI to work faster. The test shows you which skills you also need to be able to perform without it, such as on a closed book exam or in a technical interview.
You get a plain explanation of your strongest and weakest areas, plus a recommended next step: free practice, the community, the AI tutor, or 1:1 tutoring, depending on how large the gaps are.
