Summary
The digital quiz system is designed to minimize the error and to save the time. This system is
designed for an oral type of test or examinations, and it leads towards the accuracy of the
result. The system consists of a judge and four participants. In which a judge will ask a question
from the participants and the one who know the answer, will press the button first and then it
will be displayed on the 7-segment display (screen) that which participant have pressed the
button and he will answer the question. The one who presses the button first, only he will be
able to answer, then the other participants will not be able to give the answer. Which means at
a time only one participant can answer to a question. After giving answer to the question, the
judge will press his button and if the answer is correct the marks will be displayed on the 7-
segment display (screen) of the respective participant. If the answer is wrong, the judge will not
press the button which means the answer is incorrect and there will be no increment in the
marks of the respective participant. However, the whole circuit consist of two main parts. The
first part is for the participants and the second part is for the judge. In the first part the seven-
segment display is used to display the selected user and in the second part the seven-segment
display is used to display the corresponding scores of every participant.
The main purpose of the system is to:
 Save the time.
 Accuracy in the result.
 Promote digital system.
 Prevent cheating.

1. Introduction
The digital quiz system selects one user from four users in a quiz competition and displays
their result using seven segment displays. The circuit is consisting of two major parts. The
first part is for the users and the second part is for the checker. In the first part of the circuit
the system will only choose the user who has toggled the bottom at first and allow the user
to answer, and now in the second part of the system the checker will decide whether to
increment the score or not based on the answer given by the user. Each part of the system is
connected with a seven-segment display. In the first part the seven-segment display is used
to display the selected user and in the second part the seven-segment display is used to
display the corresponding scores of every user.
First Part
The first part of the Digital Quiz System consists of:
1. OR Gates
Or gates are used in which any input or both inputs are high, the output will be
high.

2. NOT Gates
Not gates are also used in which if the
input is high the output will be low or if
the input is low the output will be high.

1.1. Background
Digital quiz system refers to service as conduct digitalized quizzes and tests. It will replace
the paperwork and overcome the outcomes of traditional way of examinations using
papers or pens etc. It is digitalized platform that can be used by the administration of an
institute. This digitalized system is fully developed automated system is to efficiently
evaluate the participants progress that not only save the time but also gives fast result. It
is cost effective and time effective also. As it can be seen in non-digitalized system that
there were many errors and took time to perform a quiz.

1.2. Objective
The main objective of this project has been defined as we can know whether the goals of
the system have been achieved. There are following aims that determined the success of
this project.

 To develop a system that enables the student to respond a question quickly.

 To save the time.

 Prevent cheating.
 To test whether it can help the lecturers in conducting a quiz.

1.3. Limitation
The system will only focus on verbal question and answers and quick response from the
student side. This can be used by any judge or lecturer and students.

2. Methodology
The detail of methodology is being used in designing a circuit on software. The project
methodology is an important because it help to organize in a scientific way to overcome
problems, structure, plan, and control the process of developing a digitalized quiz system.
When the project is fully completed it should be tested to make sure that it achieves its goal
and objectives.

2.1. Initial Phase

In this phase, all the activities are plan according to a given period to complete the
system. This begins with the brainstorming session which come up with different ideas
and the title for the project. From this session, the title for this project is decided which is
digital quiz system and. This system will be used to conduct a quiz, which will be verbal
and digitalized. Based on observation, it makes the system which is much needed and
helpful to lecturer and to the students.

2.3. Implementation and Testing Phase

This phase is important because the circuit is design in a proper way. Digital Quiz System
was built by using different ICs of different gates such as OR Gates and NOT Gates,
registers, decoders, and encoders. Firstly, the participant part was designed and then the
judge part or the lecturer part. After completing the circuit, it was tested to ensure the
system is working properly and meets the user requirements.

3. Feasibility
The feasibility of the project is described below.

3.1. Time Frame

Page | 11
Digital Quiz System

The time frame for the project was almost two months and the project was divided into two parts.
The first part of project was to design it on a software. Because if we design a circuit physical and
there is an error, so we are not able to extract error. First, we have design it on a software and run
a system on it. If the circuit is correct, the software will run and if there is an error during circuit
designing then the project will not run, and it will show error. The second part of the project is to
implement the circuit. This happens after the circuit is designed correctly on the software, then it
is easy to design a circuit physically.

3.2. Merits and Demerits

There are many advantages and disadvantages of digital quiz system, which have been discussed
as follow:

 Merits
The benefits of digital quiz system is:

 Environmentally Friendly.
 Economical.
 Quick turnaround time.
 Highly secure.
 Easy to use.
 Auto grading.

 Demerits
Looking toward the demerits of the system. Some of the demerits are given that:

 there is a chance of damage inside the circuit.

 a short circuit can lead towards the fire.
 a single connection can damage the whole circuit.
 Only one student can answer at a time.

4. Conclusion
The constrain of project and its development, future works that can be taken into
consideration and eventually conclusion will be discussed. The contribution of digital quiz
system is to support lecturers and students to conduct an oral type of quiz. This system can
be used by the lecturers to evaluate students effectively, efficiently, and perfectly. Besides
that, this system reduces the time for lecturers on grading students. In this system students
will automatically be graded at the end of the quiz. Moreover, this method is more effective
to prevent problem in manual quiz procedure.
This project more focus on the problems faced by the lecturers in manual system. For
instance, the losing of quiz papers, no pencil, and pens for checking. Also, the lecturer
spends his time in gradings. All these problems can be solved by introducing a digitalized quiz

system. In which the students will not require to carry their pens and paper for the quiz, and
it is an oral type of quiz. To save the time of the lecturer the student will automatically get
their scores after the quiz. In addition, this kind of system can be replaced by the manual
system in order to increase the efficiency of the quiz management. The process to build up
this system takes a long time, so that the insufficient time problems should be faces and
solved. To ensure the good quality of the system the time management is most important to
build up a good system. In order to make sure the system can run well and meet the user
requirements; the improvement should be done, and the problem of insufficient time should
be solved.

5. Recommendation
The digital quiz system is not connected to any internet service so there is no chance for the
student to cheat from any source. So, when the proposal was submitted, it was highly
recommended to design such a system to conduct a quiz and is user friendly and easy to use.
Then observation, planning and working for the project was started. Project was very difficult
but interesting too. Discussion was made different ideas were shares between the group
members of the project and finally after a teamwork, project comes to end with success. But
it was observed that, the one who is sharp minded will get the question from the instructor
and will respond in no time.
