CBT exam software for Nigerian schools

CBT that still runs when the internet does not.

Set computer-based tests, deliver them online or offline over the exam hall’s own Wi-Fi, and get objective questions marked the moment a paper is submitted — with the scores landing in the same gradebook as the rest of the term.

No internet? The exam still happens.

A Nigerian school cannot bet two hours of a 300-pupil exam on the network holding up. So Klasstack ships a CBT appliance: one proctor laptop in the hall holds the paper, serves it to every candidate over the room’s own Wi-Fi, and marks the papers there and then. When the connection returns, each sat paper syncs back to your school and is re-graded by the exact same rules an online sitting uses — landing on the report card as though it had never been offline.

How a CBT exam runs

01

Author the paper

Type questions in, bulk-paste a list, pull from a reusable question bank, or paste a paper you already have and let AI structure it into questions and answer keys for a teacher to review.

02

Set the rules and publish

Choose the duration, the close time and the anti-cheat settings for this exam alone, then publish it. Drafts stay private and editable until you do.

03

Students sit it

Online in the browser from the student portal — or offline on the Klasstack CBT appliance, which serves the paper to the whole hall over local Wi-Fi with no internet at all.

04

Scores land in the gradebook

Online submissions are marked instantly; offline papers are marked on the appliance and sync back afterwards. Both are graded by exactly the same rules, and post to results and report cards.

What you get

Exams that survive a power or network cut. The CBT appliance runs on one proctor laptop and serves a whole hall over its own Wi-Fi. Students open a browser — nothing to install on each machine — and the papers sync to your school records when the connection is back.

Question banks you reuse every term. Banks scoped to a subject, a class level or the whole school, organised by topic and shareable across teachers. Tag past-question banks by body and year — WAEC, NECO, JAMB, NABTEB, BECE.

AI that turns your existing papers into CBT. Paste the paper you have been using for years. AI structures it into questions, options and answer keys, preserving your wording, and hands it back as drafts. Nothing is saved until a teacher confirms it.

Anti-cheat settings, per exam. Enforced fullscreen, blocked copy, paste and right-click, one question per screen, a warning before a candidate navigates away, and a hard stop once the close time passes — chosen exam by exam, not forced school-wide.

A live proctor view of the hall. Staff with the right permission subscribe to a running exam and see anti-cheat flags — a candidate leaving fullscreen, switching tabs — as they happen, rather than in a report the next day.

Marking that does not need a red pen. Multiple choice, true/false and short answer are marked on submission. Essay questions come through for the teacher. Scores post to exam results and, where the exam is mapped to an assessment component, into the report card.

Built for the WAEC and JAMB era

Your students will meet CBT whether you offer it or not — JAMB is entirely computer-based, and WAEC, NECO, NABTEB and BECE candidates increasingly sit on screen. Practising in the same shape all term, with a timer running and a question navigator to jump between items, turns exam day into something routine. Keep past-question banks tagged by body and year, and set a mock paper the week before the real one.

CBT is part of the school, not a bolt-on

Because CBT sits inside Klasstack, an exam already knows the class, the subject and the term. A score does not need re-entering to reach results and report cards, exam sittings can be planned against your timetable, and parents see the outcome in the same place they already check fees and attendance.

Frequently asked questions

What is CBT exam software?
CBT (computer-based testing) software lets a school set and deliver exams on screen instead of on paper — students answer on a device, objective questions are marked automatically, and the scores go straight into the school’s records. Klasstack includes CBT as part of the school management platform, so exam scores land in the same gradebook and report cards as the rest of the term’s work.
Can we run CBT without internet?
Yes. The Klasstack CBT appliance holds the exam on a single proctor laptop and serves it to the hall over local Wi-Fi, so a sitting needs no internet at all. It marks the papers locally and syncs each one back to your school afterwards, where they are re-graded by the same rules an online sitting uses.
How many students can sit an exam at once?
Online there is no hall limit — students sit from any device with a connection. Offline, the appliance is designed to serve a full exam hall from one proctor machine over the room’s Wi-Fi, with each student on their own browser.
Does it prepare students for JAMB, WAEC and NECO CBT?
That is much of the point. Students practise with a countdown timer, a numbered question navigator and one-question-at-a-time delivery — the same shape as the national CBT exams — so exam day is familiar rather than intimidating. You can also keep past-question banks tagged by body and year.
How do we stop cheating in an online exam?
Each exam has its own settings: fullscreen can be enforced, copy, paste and right-click blocked, questions shown one at a time, and a warning shown before a candidate can close or reload the page. Tab-switches and fullscreen exits are flagged live to any staff member monitoring the exam.
Do teachers have to retype all their questions?
No. Questions can be typed, bulk-pasted, reused from a question bank, or extracted by AI from a paper you paste in. The AI output is always a draft — a teacher reviews and edits before anything is saved.
What does CBT cost with Klasstack?
CBT is part of the Klasstack platform rather than a separate product, so it comes with your plan in Naira. You can register your school and start setting exams without paying upfront.
