The study aimed to examine the variables affecting the performance of the examination system implemented by the Ministry of Education and Scientific Research in the Republic of Yemen.

The study measured and analyzed most of the hypothesized variables and demonstrated that they positively influence the performance of the automated examination system currently applied by the Ministry.

In light of this finding, the researcher recommended:

Expanding the sample size to include a larger population.
Repeating the evaluation periodically to ensure continuous improvement.
Examining the technical aspects in greater depth.
Enhancing question and answer design in alignment with clearly defined educational objectives.
Developing all system components associated with the supporting variables of examination automation.

The defense session was attended by a number of academics, researchers, students, colleagues, and the researcher’s family.
