Abstract
Sharing of information is done in many ways and one such way is the online mock tests. The online practice tests are the model tests that are designed exactly like the online competitive exams. This will help people who are preparing to ace competitive exams. The topic for this MS project is to develop an online practice test Environment. The proposed online mock test can be taken only by registered users. The mock tests are time scheduled and users are given the privilege to select the exam they wish to practice. The mock tests will focus on the certification exams that is been conducted by companies like Microsoft, Sun, Oracle, Cisco etc. A set of questions are stored in database and when a user logs in to take the test, randomly generated questions will appear on the screen with multiple choice answers. The user must select the correct answer from the choices presented to him/her. The complexity of the questions will vary from Level 0 to Level 5. The toughness of the questions will increase or decrease depending on the correct answers given by the user who is taking the test. Once the answer is selected, user cannot go back to the question that was answered. As the practice tests are time scheduled when the allotted time for the test is reached, the user can no longer continue with the test and the scores will be generated based on the answers to the questions that were provided within the allotted time. The questions and answers will be obtained from various websites requesting permission from corresponding administrators. Finally, the user will have a help file that will walk through the rules that must be followed in order to take the mock test. Users are allowed to take the test any number of times. Each time the user selects a test, randomly chosen set of questions are retrieved from a large pool of questions and displayed to the user. Hence if a user attempts a particular type of test multiple number of times, he will not face the same set of questions. To help people to ace competitive exams tutorial documents are prepared. The tutorial document consists of notes that will focus on the topics that will be asked in the competitive exams. The information in the tutorials is obtained from various websites by getting the permission from the corresponding webmasters and administrators. The user can request for a tutorial in a document or PDF format, it will be provided in downloadable format or they can look at the document online as well.
