An automatic assessment system supporting computer science entrance examinations

Abstract

This paper describes a system to automate university entrance examinations involving several hundreds of candidates. Based on a client-server architecture, the system supports the random generation of multiple choice questionnaires and a large number of question libraries each covering a specific mathematical or logical topic. A user friendly interface is provided with graphical facilities allowing navigation through questions. Details of concrete experiences associated with computer science course entrance examinations are given and the results of a survey on students' perception are also presented.
