Abstract

The online assessment is a new examination system which has a broad application in many fields such as education, as such tests offer real-time scoring, ease of administration, more accuracy, reduce test expenses, and flexible test scheduling. This study was to develop a web-based online examination system based on a Brower/Server framework for assessing the academic competency of the students in grade 1-3. Above-level testing is the procedure to test the gifted student who is younger or in a lower grade than the group for which the test was originally designed. The test is used as a screening process to help teachers make decision whether their programs and services are at the appropriate level of challenge to inspire their advanced learners. The test comprises of 4 academic areas; Mathematics, Thai, English, and Science. After the test, teachers will receive information that shows the score of their students compared to that of students in the higher grades. © 2019 Copyright is held by the owner/author(s).
