No internet during the exam
Only preparing and uploading need a connection, never the exam itself.
CBT
CBT for your computer lab, with or without internet.
Set papers once in SchoolPilot and run them online, or in your computer lab with the SchoolPilot CBT lab client: one school laptop carries the paper in and serves it to every lab PC over your local network. No internet needed during the exam.
The problem today
Sound familiar?
- “The light goes off or the network drops halfway through an exam.”
- “Setting, printing and marking objective papers eats weeks of staff time.”
- “Students reach WAEC and NECO with little practice at computer-based exams.”
How it works
How SchoolPilot solves it
- 1
Build the paper
Question bank by subject and topic: objective, theory, comprehension passages and maths, with versions kept when you edit.
- 2
Prepare the lab the day before
The lab client downloads the encrypted paper to one school laptop, and the lab PCs are paired to it.
- 3
Sit the exam offline
Each lab PC opens the paper fullscreen over the lab's network. Questions and options are shuffled per candidate, with a countdown and autosave.
- 4
Invigilate from one screen
See who has started and submitted. A candidate whose PC dies resumes where they stopped.
- 5
Upload, then marked
Answers upload once you're back online. Objective answers are marked automatically and scores flow into the broadsheet.

Questions
CBT: common questions
Does CBT really work without internet?
Yes. With the lab client, the exam runs entirely over your lab's local network. Internet is only needed the day before, to download the paper, and afterwards, to upload answers.
Do we need new computers or a server?
No. One school laptop runs the lab client and your existing lab PCs sit the exam.
Our lab has no network cabling. Can we still use it?
Yes. Wi-Fi works, and where there is no network at all the laptop can create one for the lab.
What question types are supported?
Objective questions, theory answers, comprehension passages with several questions, and maths. Objective answers are marked automatically; theory answers go to the teacher to mark.
Does CBT cost extra?
No. CBT and the lab client are included. There are no per-exam or per-student CBT fees; your school pays one charge per term.
