The present invention provides a computerised administration
system for administering the conduct of examinations such as
academic examinations. The system comprises central computer
processing means (10) for processing and storing data, a plurality
of local computer processing means (32) physically remote from
the central computer processing means (10) for use by examination
candidates, and a communications network (20) connecting the
central computer processing means (10) to each of the local
computer processing means (32) to facilitate data transfer there
between. Each local computer processing means (32) has sampling
means (34) for taking identification samples from an examination
candidate. During the examination, each examination candidate is
presented with examination questions which he/she answers by
inputting the answers into one of the plurality of local computer
processing means (32) and the sampling means (34) of each local
computer processing means (32) takes identification samples from
each candidate at random intervals. The local computer processing
means (32) sends the identification samples from each candidate to
the central computer processing means (10) via the
communications network (20) together with the examination
answers of the said candidate. The present invention also relates to
a method of administering the conduct of examinations such as
academic examinations and to a program and an information
