It has most of the features and functions of a standard paperless examination system, and the embedded VBA programming language is used in the design of the modularized programs. The application shows that it has obvious advantages: low cost, easy maintenance, good applicability, etc. Detailed description is made of the design of the conceptual model and the realization of main function modules. The problems encountered in the module development process and some issues needing pay attention about the system, and the assumption of further expansion are analyzed.
