This repository contains my CSC320 Software Lab Project, a core course from my third year in university. Although it was assigned as a group project with three members, I completed the entire development independently, with my group members contributing only by testing the final product.
The goal was to build a Multiple Choice Question (MCQ) Computer-Based Test (CBT) web application featuring a Fingerprint Biometric Login System. Unfortunately, due to hardware limitations, software constraints, limited knowledge, and time constraints, the fingerprint login feature was not fully implemented. However, a fully functional MCQ CBT application was successfully developed.
This project evolved through five versions:
- Version 1: Provides a basic interface for taking MCQ tests. Calculates scores at the end of the test.
- Version 2: Further tuned to meet specific project goals with minor enhancements compared to Version 1.
- Version 1: A complete MCQ CBT application with full functionality.
- Version 2: Added a login/sign-up system to enhance user access control.
- Version 3: Involved code and folder restructuring for better organization and maintainability.
The technologies used in this project (PHP, CSS, JavaScript, HTML) were selected based on available resources and commonly used tools. Tutorial videos on YouTube were instrumental in guiding and customizing the application to meet project requirements.
This project was completed between February 2022 and November 2022.

This project ordinarily shouldn't be needing a license, but if for any reason you'll be needing it, it is free to use.
