But a survey system is better.If you want to use ot for education,just add some real-time updating in browser and mobile-friendly polls.I believe it's a easy job for you using something like websockets,or at the worst,periodly ajax refreshing.

Thank you for your support and valuable insights.

This open-source app just serves the only purpose, taking MCQ exams, unlimited and without any restricted feature. I have created replace google form for examination. My friend is taking an exam using google form and have a hard time doing that. I am making to help a lot of friends who just need enough to take a couple of exams and that's it. The current solutions are shady and they don't have any control over their data.
And I thought it will be a good project for me if it solves any problems.

For that purpose there is no need to consider cheating.And I suggest a feature which let you import questions quickly from a text or word file,which can be useful*.


(And some of our exams are online too,bit we are using Rain Classroom,which let you import questions on the Powerpoint to exam using their Office plugin)
*eg:
First,search for \n and lines starting with n. n) (n) where n is a interger as question.If the question line includes like (a) (A) __A__ A and is not in the starting 10 characters treat them as answer to the question.
Then search for choices like A. a) a. [A] following the first step with a \n .These choices may all in a single line.

@mzltest yes you can import from excel or CSV file and also export questions from the database. I will create a preview test app so you can try and reset all the questions by midnight every day.

Importing from CSV file is awesome. Do you use library or do it yourself?

I want to add this feature to my current app too. Have no time right now to add one but I think there is a library that facilitates us for this. Interested to learn more Big Grin.

I use maatwebsite/excel package for importing to the database. I think you can import to your PHP app using composer. And it is very simple to integrate. Well documented.
