Abstract: The objective of this study is to identify the problems faced by students conducting an online exam run by the Al-Madinah International University (MEDIU). The research has been applied in the Department of Computer Science, Faculty of Computer Science and Information Technology with 86 students during the semester in February of the academic years 2017- 2018. Data obtained from e-mail messages for students about the problems in the examination process are parsed descriptively. The data were read twice by different researchers and then organized into symbols. Topics that have been discovered are created as a result of assembling the encodings into a meaningful structure to display to the reader. The results showed that the following problems occurred in the process of students who passed the online tests, the level of literacy for students, the new testing environment for students, the presentation of questions in the computer environment and technical difficulties. The ability of students to use computers is an important factor in the emergence of problems. The main finding of the research is the need for a mentoring program to help students with Internet tests and online courses.
