I am working a Online exam project(MCQ). There are 200 questions. I created 5 pages to store these questions. Each page has 40 questions. I'm using datalist to show the question. Which method will be good to store answer? Session ,cookie or i should insert it into db?

A database would be you best bet with that many questions. Just create a column that has a unique identifier and each question set(exam) can be referenced by that.

When answering a question please:

Read the question carefully.
Understand that English isn't everyone's first language so be lenient of bad spelling and grammar.
If a question is poorly phrased then either ask for clarification, ignore it, or edit the question and fix the problem. Insults are not welcome.
Don't tell someone to read the manual. Chances are they have and don't get it. Provide an answer or move on to the next question.

Thank you for the mentioning.

On a heavy push for that 100k?

Maciej Los 19-Dec-13 15:47pm

No. It's not possible to achieve this year. ;)

Richard C Bishop 19-Dec-13 15:51pm

Soon after the new year and you will though.

Maciej Los 19-Dec-13 15:55pm

I'll strongly believe that ;)

Are you a hidden Santa Claus's helper?

Richard C Bishop 19-Dec-13 16:53pm

Lol, the world may never know......

Maciej Los 19-Dec-13 16:59pm

Please, don't do that. I'm feeling uncomfortable...

And... Of course, thank you.

Well, I wish I could say it was me, but it was in fact not. I do upvote your solutions as needed though.

I wasn't sure what you spoke of at first, but then I saw your rep points jump a couple thousand in a matter of minutes it became clear.

Maybe it was "ThePhantomUpVoter".
