Passing university entrance examination is a big challenge for Afghan University applicants. In this paper, we propose an online examination support environment namely e-KEPS Exam Prep System (e-KEPS). The architecture is comprised mainly of three layers: (i) Presentation logic, (ii) Business Logic, and (iii) Data Access Logic. The system design methodology is incremental which supports the user involvements and provide series of intermediate deliverables.
The application will run on Apache web server and can be accessed locally and remotely. Some other features include: (i) Open source at the front-end, (ii) MySQL at the back-end, and (iii) code igniter as a security framework. Currently, the prototype is in the in the lab testing phase and the results are promising.
