Quiz Management System

CHAPTER 1
Introduction

The ‘MCQ Quiz Application’project will be developed to overcome the

time consuming problem of manual system.Apart from that in current
system,checkingtheanswersheetsafter takingtest,wastetheexaminers time,
so this application will check the correct answer and save the examiner
time and carry the examination in an effective manner. The
userswhichareusethissystemdon’tneedtohighcomputingknowledge and
also system will inform them while entering invalid data.

Theaimofthisprojectistocomputerizedtheexistingmanualsystemand help
the examiners to save their valuable time and important data.Apart
fromthis, data which are exist inthis system,will exist for long period of
time and will be easy accessible. This project helps the examiners to
manage their services in a good way and provide a better service to their
users.

The objective of this project is to manage the details of students,

examinations, marks, courses and papers in a good manner. The
performance ofthe application will befullycontrol by administrator and
administratorcanguarantyanyonetoaccess.Theproject willreducethe
manual process in managing examinations and all issues regarding that.

Functionalitiesoftheprojectwillbeasfollowing:

• AbletheexaminerstopunchtheMCQ

• Abletheuserstosolvethequestionsonline;
• Examinerscanmanagetheinformation

• Correctanswerswillbeevaluatedbysystem

• Userscanseetheirresultaftersubmittingthe

To design and implement this project we plan that the project support to
differenttypesofusersapartfrom itsadministrativepart.Whenproject is run
for the first time it allowed the user to select as who he/she wants to login
inthe system. Project support login as teacher andlogin as student. If a
user who is student, try tologin as teacher system will not allow him and
vice versa. User who add as teacher in system will be able to punch test
and questions to system and also will beable to observe the result of the
student which attempt tests. User who login to system as student will be
able to select a particular test and attempt questions depend on this
test.After attempting the test and submitting that user will receive a
messagethat youhaveattempt thetestsuccessfullyandiftheuser triesto
attempt the same test, system will not allow him/her.Also a user which
login tosystem as student will be able to observe the result of test he/she
attempt.

Toconcludeintroduction,wehaveusethesemodulestofollowthe objectives
of our project and each of these modules have logical connections to
other modules which they are depend.

ExistingSystems

There are various MCQ quiz applications exist in the internet with
different criteria. Each of the existing applications has their own
goodnessandproblems.InthisMCQquizapplicationwhichisdesigned

CHAPTER 2
Project Objectives

The main objective of the project MCQ QuizApplication is to manage the

details of students, examinations, marks, courses and papers. The project
is totally at administrative end and thus only the administrator is
grantedtheaccess.Thepurposeof theproject istobuildanapplicationto
reduce the manual work for managing the MCQ quiz and we will follow
to achieve these objectives in this project.

- TocreateanappropriateplatformforbestmanagingofMCQtest;
- ToovercomethetimeconsumingissuesandtakingMCQtests;- To
release the marks of the test taker as soon as possible;- To manage
the information of different tests.

Methodology

The methodology of developing of project will be a step-by-step

sequence to design, develop and deliver the application. In software
engineeringthismethodologycalled‘waterfallmodel’whichoneportion of
work follows after another in a linear sequence. Following steps will be
followed in this methodology:

- Initiation(Requirement Specification);
- Planninganddesign;
- Execution (constructionand coding);
- Validation(Testing);
- Closure(InstallationandMaintenance).

CHAPTER 3
Project Design

For designing and implementing of Online MCQ Quiz application we used HTML,
CSS, JavaScript and SQL Server with the context of Java and JSP. Following pages
havebeendesignedusingHTML,CSSandJavaScripttohandlethedefinedobjective of this
project.

This the first page which user observe after running the project. This page will able
theusertoselectthetypeof login.Selecting“Login asTeacher”willdirecttheuserto
Teacher Login Page and selecting “Login as Student” will direct the user to Student
Login Page.

not authenticated by the system the message “Either user name or password is
incorrect” will be displayed to user.

Figure3:Student &TeacherLogin Pages

3. Home Pages:

After users successfully login to system. Each particular user will be directed to their
particular Home Page which are “Teacher Home” and “Student Home”. Teacher
Home will able the teachers to observe information about the Online MCQ Quiz and
punch a test by clicking on “Punch Test” and observe student results by clicking on
“StudentMarks”.StudentHomewillablethestudenttoobservetheinformation about the

Future Scope and Conclusion

Asmentionedtheprojectisonjavaplatform whichiscodedinNet Beans IDE

with help HTML, CSS and JavaScript and running as web page by Apache
Tomcat web server. But this project is only for MCQ test but in the future
we have plan to extended it to support subjective type of questions with
more functionality. We will addAdministrative part on it which able the
system to delete test, add user, delete user and so on graphically vie the
web.

Toconclude,thisisasimpleOnlineMCQQuizwhichableateacherto punch
MCQ question to system which will be store in SQLServer database and
able the student to attempt any test for once. The marks of student will be
calculated according to questions they attempt and will be displayed by
the system to teachers and student.
