At the end of any educational process there is usually an assessment of the newly acquired knowledge. There are pedagogical goals and examples of tests, but they are all usually bound to a particular educational environment.

The article describes knowledge assessment created for grading the students’ knowledge in the basic concepts of programming at the entry level of education. The tasks are simple, easily understood and do not assume any additional pre-existing knowledge. They are based on minimal teacher involvement and in most cases, students do not need further explanation. Such assessment requires the students to be familiar with the concept, as they have to transfer the knowledge pattern from the learning environment into the testing environment.
