Abstract

The undue anxiety of students towards examination being conducted using Computer Base Testing System (CBTS) has led to the introduction of computer base mock examination; a way of familiarizing students with CBT platform before attempting the main examination. The current system is plagued with applicants traveling from various location to a Computer Base Testing Center to take part in a short-lived mock examination in order to familiarize them with the CBT platform; most of the applicants do not have access to the CBT software which is not available online; it has been argued that a thirty-minute brief mock test is not adequate enough to familiarize the use of CBT for some of the candidates. This paper is proposing the development of Online Pre-admission Examination Learning and Practicing Software (ELPS) for the prospective students of Federal University of Technology, Minna. The proposed system will be implemented using Microsoft Visual Studio. Net, Integrated Development Environment. The proposed web based application will be highly user-friend and self-intuitive to help applicants in learning and practicing the computer based test questions from anywhere, any time.
