Hi,
I'm assuming the exam will be multiple choice to allow for automatic marking. You will need a database table with columns for question id, the actual question text, n number of columns for the text of the possible options (a,b,c,d, etc) and a column containing which answer is correct (or possibly anothe table for this depending on your design.

After that, you need to pull the questions and answers from the database, display on the page and record the user's answer. Obviously this all can vary depending on if you present one question at a time or show several on one page, whether the questions are shown in random order, etc.

Hope that helps,
