Abstract:

The JCSF Engineering Review Center is one of the established review centers in Calamba City, Laguna and it is known for reviewing mechanical engineering graduates who will take their board exams. They review examinees in like a school-based review - conducting refresher courses, then giving exams to see their progress. The researchers were asked to develop a web-based system that will determine the preparedness of the examinees in taking the board examination, identify their weak areas corresponding to their pre-board assessment exam, and address the manual process in checking and creating an examination. Based on the system evaluation, the results showed that the system achieved the said objectives. Specifically, the examinee was satisfied with the help of the system in answering test, downloading handouts, and in determining his/her weak areas; the system provided reports based on the previous pre-assessment results; it helped in checking the exams automatically and in providing test results immediately; it helped in uploading handouts for the examinees to download; it was reliable, usable, efficient, maintainable, and portable. The researchers concluded that the proposed system for JCSF Engineering Review Center will make the assessment procedures, giving handouts, conducting and checking assessment tests, and making reports be done faster and with much ease. The researchers recommended the following to further improve the proposed system: add a feature that will allow the user to access the system through mobile devices without any issues regarding its interface; add a feature that will provide a narrative interpretation in every sub topic failed by the examinees; add a feature that will notify the examinees if the lecturer or admin has uploaded review materials and trivia or pre-board assessment through SMS.
