Online examinations are of great importance to education. It has become a powerful tool for evaluating students’ knowledge and learning. Adopting modern technology that saves time and ensures security. The researcher developed a Test Bank Management System that can store test items in any subjects. The system is capable of conducting item analysis using the Rasch model scale. Items that undergo analysis based on Rasch scale helped faculty by quantifying each item as “good”, “rejected”, or “revised”. For securing items in the test bank, Data Encryption Standard (DES) algorithm was successfully applied thus ensuring the safety and reliability of the questions in the test bank. Only items that are ready for deployment to the student’s computer during the examinations will be decrypted. In conclusion, the system passed the evaluation process and eliminates redundancy of manual work.

Stock market prediction has been an interesting research topic for many years. Finding an efficient and effective means of predicting the stock market found its way in different social networking platforms such as Twitter. Studies have shown that public moods and sentiments can affect one's opinion. This study explored the tweets of the Filipino public and its possible effects on the movement of the closing Index of the Philippine Stock Exchange. Sentiment Analysis was used in processing individual tweets and determining its polarity - either positive or negative. Tweets were given a positive and negative probability scores depending on the features that matched the trained classifier. Granger causality testing identified whether or not the past values of the Twitter time series were useful in predicting the future price of the PSE Index. Two prediction models were created based on the p-values and regression algorithms. The results suggested that the tweets collected using geo location and local news sources proved to be causative of the future values of the Philippine Stock Exchange closing Index.
