ABSTRACT
Computers are known for their wide range of uses especially in scientific and
mathematical fields. However little or no thought has been given to designing a
complete and thorough intelligence entrance examination on a computer system in
our immediate environment. This entrance examination system is designed to assist
university administration examination in attaining a standardized sample, and as
such the psychological implication of such a design is very important.
The design of the system is quite simple and easily understood. Its flexibility
makes it amenable for future changes and amendment to either incorporate other
aspects of intelligence or to be designed for any other school age or class.
The question of the online entrance examination system are programmed and
visually displayed on the system‘s screen in an interactive form. The student
answers the question on the computer system, immediately the question is marked
and notified. The result of the examination is also displayed at the end of the
examination which goes a long way to lessen the fears of students that they were
marked down in the examination. Since the entrance examination is examined by
the computer, time cost of manual examination is saved. Based on the virtues of
internet amendment which have been made to the examination system concept by
constructing a website with online entrance examination, online question setting
and answer and online management by the administrator.
