Recently, as the Internet is popularized, learning using the Internet has been attracting attention in the field of education.

In the Internet learning, the learner who is a student mainly needs to go to the moisturizing school without having to go to the moisturizing school, and can conduct the learning through the video lecture or the various texts and multimedia forms provided on the Internet. Can be.

Internet learning is relatively inexpensive compared to the tuition fees of the school, and can be used as a way to solve the enormous private education costs in our society. In particular, the mock test using the Internet has been carried out in accordance with the recent policy to abolish mock tests in national and public schools. It's getting a lot of popularity as a reflection.

Generally speaking, the practice test is designed to provide learners with an opportunity to gauge their skills and to provide additional learning effects before the actual test. It gives you a sense of testing and allows you to identify areas of inadequacy and set future learning directions.

The conventional off-line mock test was conducted several times each year for middle school students, high school students, and especially high school students. The test results were distributed to the test takers and the correct answers were written on the OMR card for answer writing. Calculation was provided.

Recent Internet practice tests take the form of a candidate using a computer system to access a website that provides a practice test, checking the problem displayed on the computer monitor screen, and writing an answer. A variety of grade statistics will also be provided through the scoring process.

The problem is provided through the monitor screen due to the problem of the Internet simulation test, and in the view that the fatigue of the candidate's eyes is increased and the mental concentration is reduced and the user cannot fully utilize his skills due to the long-term test, the Korean Patent Application Publication No. 2000-0017894 A method of distributing a questionnaire containing questions for a mock examination through a newspaper or a study paper is disclosed, and the candidate is analyzed through the paper so that the answer is recorded on the answer sheet displayed on a computer monitor. A grade calculation and evaluation system is also disclosed that scores, evaluates, and calculates statistical data on the grades received from the computer.

In the current survey of websites that provide Internet practice tests, most of them cost a small fee for a single practice test, placing an economic burden on learners' households who have to take at least several practice tests. Therefore, it is desirable to be able to use the Internet mock test at a lower cost from the learner's point of view.

On the other hand, cartoons, video devices, and quizzes are widely used as means for enhancing the learning effect, and among them, quizzes allow learners to learn basic knowledge happily with a light mind. -2001-0018863 discloses a method for solving a real-time quiz on the Internet and a network quiz game system using the Internet in Korean Patent Laid-Open No. 2000-0072710.

In general, when learning or education is desirable for the learner's point of view, it is desirable to have a system and method that provides learners with the most effective learning effects. It is desirable to be prepared for practice, but so far no such method has been provided.

The practice test usually takes place just before taking the test, and this is a learning assessment that uses the quiz and the practice test together, given that learners do not have the time to study in general and need to study only the most important points effectively. And the learning method may be very appropriate.

The present invention was devised in view of the above points, and in order to use the Internet mock test at a low cost, first, while learning basic knowledge and essential knowledge through a relatively low-cost quiz game and earning predetermined points The aim of the present invention is to provide a mock test, which was previously expensive, by using the accumulated points, and to provide a method for operating the Internet mock test service by providing scholarships to learners with excellent mock test scores.

In the following description, the test taker performs various operations on the simulated test service server 20 through the network 30 using the computer system 10, but for the convenience of the description, the test taker directly checks the test service service server 20. Although it may be described as performing a specific operation, in this case, the candidate should be understood to perform a specific operation on the mock test service server 20 through the computer system 10 provided with data communication means.

Referring to FIG. 3 (FIGS. 3A and 3B), a candidate who wants to use the Internet practice test service of the present invention by connecting to the practice test service server 20 through the network 30 using the computer system 10, A data link is secured with the simulation test service server 20 (step S100). Here, the test taker accesses to the URL representing the mock test service server 20 using a web browser, and the mock test service server 20 provides a web page corresponding to the URL to the test taker's web browser, and the web browser Interprets the transmitted web page and displays it on the monitor for the candidate to check.

For the test taker connected, the mock test service server 20 may request execution of a login, in which the candidate inputs an ID and password in the displayed authentication window and executes the login (step S102), and the mock test service server (20) compares the inputted ID and password with the ID and password stored in the member information DB 28a in itself, and performs authentication to confirm whether the candidate who is connected with the existence of the corresponding ID and password is a legitimate user. (Step S104).

Of course, if the usual matters or test takers are new visitors and non-member registrants, the member registration is performed. If the member registration webpage enters various information including the ID and password requested by the blank, the member registration service is performed. (20) accepts it through a verification process. Candidates who have completed such membership registration can log in immediately after access.

As a result of the above-described authentication, when the logged-in test taker is confirmed as a valid user, the mock test service server 20 provides the test taker system 10 with a web page for selecting guides and selecting various menus for the Internet mock test service. Candidates can select the desired menu or check the service guide.

Internet mock test service according to the present invention because the candidate can take a mock test with the points earned after earning points through a paid quiz game, the candidate is logged in to run the quiz game first to earn points.

That is, the candidate requests the execution of the quiz game by selecting the menu as a pointing means such as a mouse on a web page on which a plurality of menus are posted (step S106). In response, the simulation test service server 20 performs the quiz game. Request input of payment information for payment.

Here, the quiz game is shown in Fig. 4 with reference to an example of the configuration of the web page in a state provided and implemented on the web.

A quiz game is a form that provides a problem and allows you to choose O, X, or check or enter an answer, and points to the candidate who is the gamer at noon on the entered answer, and the quiz question is preferably basic and essential knowledge. It can be configured to learn or evaluate. In addition, the mock test service server 20 may provide a correct answer or comment and a correct answer or commentary on a problem after the test taker who enters the answer, and also checks the points accumulated so far. There are many ways to operate a quiz game, and it can be specifically implemented in terms of determining winners and assigning points according to the noon of the answer. In addition, it will be appreciated that one-person or multi-user games implemented on the web can be easily implemented as generalized ones.

Therefore, the test taker can enjoy the natural learning while having fun through the quiz game, and the game is normally terminated according to the algorithm of the game when the contracted number of questions ends.

The above-mentioned quiz game itself is a matter that deviates from the main technical gist of the present invention, and its implementation may be variously made at the current level of ordinary skill.

Candidates will earn points through the quiz game as described above (step S112), preferably in order to use the quiz game every time, the use price must be paid for the use of the current general practice test service It is desirable to be extremely inexpensive relative to the fee.

According to the present invention, a test taker who has earned a predetermined amount or more through the above-described quiz game may take a mock test using the points. Therefore, the candidate confirms his point and requests the mock test service server 20 to use the mock test when the point becomes more than the predetermined amount (step S114).

In the description of the present invention, the test taker may earn points through a quiz game in a single connection, but in the case of accumulating points through a plurality of repeated intermittent connections more generally, as shown in FIG. It is described as performing a series of processes by access, but it should be understood that this service is used for convenience as a repetitive process of login and logoff.

In response to the candidate's use of the mock test (step S116), the mock test service server 20 first determines whether the mock test is available using the points earned by the test taker (step S118), and the test taker points the use of the mock test if available. After the reduction from the points earned (step S120), the Internet mock test is provided (step S122), and the questionnaire and answer check sheets are provided on the web page, and the test taker displays the problem displayed on the monitor through the web browser. Using the input device, such as a keyboard and a mouse, the Internet mock test is taken by checking the answer on the answer sheet displayed together (step S124).

Here, FIG. 5 is shown with reference to an example of the configuration of a web page in a state where an internet mock test is provided.

The online practice test is the same as the actual test prepared by the test conditions such as the number of questions, subjects, and test time. The test time is checked from the time the questionnaire is posted on the web page and provided, and the remaining time is displayed on the web page. The answer is sent before the time. If the answer is not sent by the end time, the answer is forcibly obtained at the end time. In addition, the problem for the evaluation of hearing is provided with an identifier such as an icon so that the candidate can listen to the listening problem by automatically executing a plug-in program by selecting the icon.

In general, the problem paper provided may be stored and provided in the form of an image as shown in FIG. 5, and alternatively, a program constituting the problem paper by extracting a problem from a question bank database provided in the mock test service server 20. It may be provided so that the problem configured in real time at the time required to be provided on the web page.

Although the questionnaire and answer sheet are to be provided together on the web, the questionnaire may be provided through a page distributed offline or downloaded from the mock test service server 20 to the candidate system 10, and in the latter case, the candidate You can solve the problem by printing the problem sheet from the downloaded file.

In the above two cases, the candidate should check the answer on the OMR-type answer sheet provided on the web and transmit it to the mock test service server 20 before the end time of the test as shown in FIG. 5.

The above methods of conducting the Internet practice test can be understood as matters that are well known to those skilled in the art as currently practiced matters in general.

Next, the simulation test service server 20 performs a scoring by comparing the correct answer that can be checked from the simulation test DB 28d described above with respect to the obtained test taker (step S130), and the scoring result is higher than the scholarship payment criteria. In case (step S132), the scholarship is paid to the candidate's account (step S134).

That is, according to the present invention, if a student scores more than the contracted score according to the grading result, a scholarship is provided to the candidate, and the scholarship is a cash-back of the amount paid by the candidate for the quiz game fee for the use of the mock exam. The name of the candidate's account for providing the scholarship is preferably obtained by inputting the membership registration.

On the other hand, the type of scholarship paid may be in the form of real money value, such as cyber money, electronic money, as well as cash, and thus the candidate's account is not only a general bank account but also an electronic money having an account. In the case of cyber money, an account for managing cyber money on the server system may be provided and scholarship payment may be executed to the account. In addition, the electronic money can be embedded in the card to provide the card through an offline mailing, but it is preferable to pay the scholarship through data transmission. Such transfer technology of money is a very general technology. It may be preferably adopted and used.

Of course, the above-described grading results and various statistic data that can be analyzed from the grading results, answer commentary, and scholarship benefit (payment) are also provided to the candidate (step S136), and the provision is then output through a web page and other e-mails. A notification or the like may also be used, and thus the candidate confirms this (step S138).

Here, in the case of mock exams prepared for SAT, such as raw scores, standard conversion scores, national rankings, and national percentages for the SAT, it means the evaluation results that can be calculated from the statistical data and useful to the candidates.

Therefore, candidates check the grading results and statistic data provided after the practice test, check whether the scholarship is paid, and proceed with additional study through commentary provided with the answer.

As mentioned above, although this invention was demonstrated by the limited embodiment and drawing, this invention is not limited by this, The person of ordinary skill in the art to which this invention belongs, Of course, various modifications and variations are possible within the scope of equivalent claims.
