This tutorial guides you through step-by-step how to create a multi-question quiz using ASP and MS Access database.

This tutorial explains along with sample code how to create a simple quiz program in ASP. It uses an Access database for data handling.

This article assumes that you are familiar with ASP, XML and HTML.Using this OnLine Exam system, we can conduct any type of objective type examinations on line. Eventhough I implemented most of the conventional things, the reader is highly appreciated to incorporate all other features whatever so. Let us talk on the overall functionality. The Questions are in the xml file stored in the server (it could be in the database). When the user is ready to take the exam, then the question ids list for this user will be sent to the browser from the server via Microsoft's XMLHTTP Object. Using this same XMLHTTP Object, the question contents are retrieved from the server and displayed on the page whenever the user requests for a question. On user's response to any question, the selected answer is stored in the client side itself. On end of the exam, the result will be displayed. The duration and no of questions per exam are set as 5 minutes and 5 questions respectively. But we can set them to any possible values.
