hello, I am trying to create a test with 20 questions. If you pass the test you will recive a certificate at the end that can be printed out..probably pdf format. and the answers will be emailed to me. If you fail you will never recieve the certificate and will have to take the test over. Any one have any recomendations on how to do this?....I am a newbie to asp

will you be using a database?
Is it just one test? or are there multiple types of tests?
Can all questions appear on one page? or do you need to have like
5 questions per page?

Maybe supply alittle more info on some specifics of the test,
and im sure we will be able to help you come up with a couple
different solutions.

well there is just one test..and all questions will appear on one page or many pages...It is not required to maintain a database of results that could be tracked by the emails that are recieved.

there are a couple of way you could do this, hidden fields, session
variables, passing variables through the query string using post or
get.

I did a small test w/ 3 questions for you, to give you an idea of
how you might even be able to tackel it with session variables.
Again this is just an idea, and you could do this much more efficient code.


<%
Dim hidsubmit
Dim i
Dim NumCorrect
Dim bScore

hidsubmit = Request.Form("hidsubmit")

Select Case hidsubmit
Case "Grade"
'answer 1
If Request.Form("Q1") = "A" then
Session("1") = True
else
Session("1") = False
end if
'answer 2
if Request.Form("Q2") = "B" then
Session("2") = True
else
Session("2") = False
end if
'answer 3
if Request.Form("Q3") = "D" then
Session("3") = True
else
Session("3") = False
end if
'see how many were correct
NumCorrect = 0
For i = 1 to 3
if Session(i) = True then
NumCorrect = NumCorrect + 1
end if
next

bScore = True

Case Else

end Select%>

youll most likely use a combination of asp and javascript.
