Egold CBT

Offline CBT software for your school network

One computer in the school becomes the exam server. Every computer in the lab opens it in a browser over the school Wi-Fi or network cable. Nothing leaves the building.

What you need

Server PC
Any Windows desktop or laptop with 4 GB RAM or more. It doesn't need to be new.
Network
A Wi-Fi router or network switch that the lab computers connect to. No internet subscription needed.
Student computers
Any computer or tablet with Chrome, Edge or Firefox. Nothing to install.
Power
A UPS for the server PC is a good idea. If a student's computer goes off, their answers are already safe on the server.

How setup works

  1. 1

    We send you the software and a licence key

    Or we install it with you over a call.

  2. 2

    Install XAMPP and copy Egold CBT onto the server PC

    Start Apache and MySQL, then open the setup page.

  3. 3

    Enter your school name, an admin account and the licence key

    The licence activates over the internet once.

  4. 4

    Open it on the lab computers

    Type the server's network address in the browser, e.g. http://192.168.0.10/egold-cbt.

About the licence

  • Your server checks the licence every few hours when it can reach the internet, and keeps working offline between checks for the number of days in your licence.
  • Changing PCs? Remove the licence from the old server in Settings, or ask us to free the slot, then activate on the new one.
  • Your exams, questions and results stay on your server. The licence check sends only the key, a server ID and your school name.
