Search-skill MCQs for mobile bank¶
Date parked: 2026-06-02 Triggered by: ohkjon r/FE_Exam feedback (2026-05-26) on NCEES CBT search UX parity Status: PARKED until iOS approval + real user base
Concept¶
Add MCQ questions that teach the student which keyword to search for a given lookup, instead of just testing whether they know the formula. Practices search strategy under exam time pressure — high-value because NCEES CBT search is keyword-driven.
Each Q is self-contained: "You need [thing]. Which keyword indexes it fastest?" — student doesn't need a handbook open, just needs to recognize the right indexable term. iOS-app-compatible because no in-app handbook required.
Revival trigger¶
- iOS v2.0.2 approved by Apple AND
- ≥10 active iOS users OR a paying customer specifically requests search-skill content
Building a wave with zero users to validate against = premature.
Cost when revived¶
- ~1-2 days of work
- ~$0.50 in Haiku Batch API for 50 questions
- No DB migration, no iOS code change, no web code change
