See Quirex PHP for more advanced features.

Quirex is a quiz system suitable for many uses. Whether you are a teacher who wishes to let your students take the quizzes, and have the reports emailed to you, or a web site developer who wants to have a quiz installed on your web site to give some fun to your visitors, Quirex is for you.

This script allows the quiz-taker to select the number of questions he wants to attemp. The script will take the number of questions randomly from the database and display them in random order. After the answers are submitted, a page of results will be displayed showing the quiz-taker's answer and the correct answer of each question. It also counts the number of questions he has got correct.

In addition, the script can also keep a record of challengers, recording their names, emails, number of questions attemped and their scores, and display the results of the most recent challengers.

Upgrading from Quirex 1.x
After installing Quirex 2.0, access convert.cgi (included) to convert your old database to the new one.

Benchmark...
Here is a simple Benchmark report comparing the performance of Quirex v1.3 and Quirex v2.0. This is just for fun though, it is very unlikely that you will want to display 2000 questions all at once...
