CHAPTER ONE

INTRODUCTION

1. BACKGROUND OF STUDY:

In the past, ability exams were used in admitting students into University and professional schools, for instance the scholastic aptitude exam, which measure, both aptitude and achievement, (the aptitude exam measures accomplished skills & indicate what a person can do at present, while the achievements exam predicts what a person can accomplished with training).

But the essential requirements for any exam include reliability, validity and uniform examing procedure.  The exam which measure general intelligence ability are often called “Online examination management”.

Online examination management are usually designed and implemented for a group of people to access the nature and course of mental development, intellectual and non-intellectual personality differences associated with age, sex & facial membership, differences that might be attributed to hereditary or to environmental factors, differences among persons at different occupational levels and among their children, intellectual and others traits of a typical group such as the mentally gifted, the mentally retorted, the neurotic and the psychotic.

The topic online examination management system (C.B.TS) is geared towards impacting Intelligence on a computer, whereby the Universities Matriculation Examination (UME) and the senior secondary Certificate Examination (SSCE) will be conducted and taken on the computer system itself and the result displayed to the user (student) immediately after the examination.

One may ask this question, is the realistic on the face value it might seem impossible, but with the advent of computer games, computers have proved that they constitute of ways of indirectly examing intelligence.

1. STATEMENT OF THE PROBLEM

A critical look at the operations of the west African Examination council, the organization of (SSCE) show that a part of their examination comes as an objectives questions and the answers are expected to be shaded on a computer answer sheets and marked by the computer, where as the theory section of the examination, which of course carries the great exam mark, is to be marked by WAEC examiners, leaving much to be desired especially in the Nigerian context of it. Move so, in admitting students into higher schools differences attributed to hereditary or to environmental factors, differences among persons at different occupation levels and among their children; and facial membership may lead to bias, instead of admitting qualified students, unqualified students may also be admitted. The delay in the release of the SSCE and UME result causes anxiety on the student that participated in the examination.
