Create a CBT Exam

Set up computer-based tests with questions, options, and an exam code for students.

Create computer-based tests (CBT) that students can take online using an exam code.

Steps

1. Go to Assessment/CBT from the main menu.
2. Click Create Test.
3. Enter the test details:
   • Title (e.g., "JSS 2 Mathematics Mid-Term")
   • Subject
   • Duration (in minutes)
4. Click Add Question to start building the exam.
5. For each question:
   • Type the question text
   • Add answer options (A, B, C, D)
   • Select the correct answer
6. Repeat step 5 for all questions.
7. Click Publish when the exam is ready.
8. The system generates a unique Exam Code — share this with students to access the test.

Tips

• Students enter the exam code to start the test on their devices.
• The timer starts once a student begins — they cannot pause.
• You can add as many questions as needed.
• Review all questions before publishing; edits are not allowed after students begin.

Offline Resilience

Cloud Sentrics CBT is built for unreliable internet connections:

• Network drops during exam — students keep answering. Answers save to their device every 10 seconds.
• Page refresh or browser crash — exam restores exactly where they left off (same question, same answers, same timer).
• Submit while offline — answers stay saved locally and auto-submit when connection returns (retries every 30 seconds).
• Timer accuracy — the timer is calculated from the original start time, not from network. It stays accurate even after disconnection.

No student data is lost due to network issues. This works automatically — no setup required.
