The processing script can stay on a remote server which supports PHP and MySQL database.

Using Watu Exam

1. Create New Exam
This is the default page which you see when you log in in the administration. Here you can create your exam. Each exam needs a title and options (the options are described in point 5. below). Once entered you can "Update Exam" which will save it to the database.  Then you can start adding Grades, Questions and Answers.

2. Adding Grades
The grades of a test is what your visitors/exam takers will see after completing the tests.  One of the grades will be assigned to the user depending on how many points they have collected from right answers. If you want the system to be correct, the points should not overlap.
Example: Let's say you have an exam of 3 questions. The total points that the user can collect is 10 (because you can assign different number points to some answers if they are more important). So for grade A you may require points from 9 to 10. For grade B - from 6 to 8, for grade C - from 3 to 5, and for grade B - from 0 to 2.

3. Adding Questions
Each question contains question and type. The type can be single, multiple or open end which means that the takers would be able to choose only one answer (radio buttons), several answers (checkboxes) or answer in free text form (in a text box).

4. Assigning answers
You need to assign at least 2 answers for each question (except to open end questions - giving answers for them is optional). The answers are the selections which the end user will be allowed to make when answering the question (one or more depending on the question type).  To each answer you can assign a number of points. Typically you would assing 0 points to wrong answers, but you can even use negative numbers if you want to add an extra penalty. The points for the correct answers can be equal to each or can be different to assing different importance to the questions and their answers.
5. Exam Options
This area can be expanded/collapsed when you click on "Show Options/Hide Options" link. It lets you: 6. Image gallery
In the quiz editor you can click on the "Open Images Gallery" link. This will open a popup where you can upload images and copy the codes which you can then place in questions and answers.
