This paper describes and exemplifies an application of a Structured Exam Questions Test Bank and Evaluation Using Modified Bilingual Evaluation Understudy (BLEU) Algorithm, a software system developed in pursuit of robust computerized marking of free-text answers to open-ended questions.It employs the Information System Development Research Methodology with modified BLEU Algorithm and Expert System for similar words.The system was developed to facilitate in managing and administrating structured questions for client/server architecture based on intranet. The system incorporates a number of processing modules specifically aim at providing an automated marking to reduce spelling errors, calculating scores, managing and administrating an exam.The system was trial-run by a group of students and lecturers, and modifications particularly on the interface have been modified and implemented. Problems and limitations discovered were then discussed and recommendations made to overcome the limitations for the future development of the research.
