Introduction:

The Online Quiz Platform project involves designing and building a web-based platform for creating, taking, and scoring quizzes. This project focuses on database design, user interaction, and real-time feedback.

Project Objectives:

1. Quiz Creation: Allow registered users to create quizzes by defining questions, answer choices, correct answers, and scoring rules.
2. Quiz Taking: Enable users to browse and take quizzes created by others, providing real-time feedback on their performance.
3. Scoring and Results: Calculate and display quiz scores and results immediately after a user completes a quiz.
4. User Authentication: Implement user registration and authentication to personalize the quiz experience.
5. User-Friendly Interface: Design an intuitive and visually appealing user interface for creating, browsing, and taking quizzes.
