Abstract
COVID-19 pandemic has impacted the educational institutions in Australia and New Zealand, thus online learning was a significant option for education to be smoothly continued. This could possibly enhance the Computer-based exams (CBEs) to be used in various courses, such as schools, universities and other training centres. As there are many educational institutions which have chosen to convert from paper test system to computer- based exam. However, adopting computer tests may lead to some difficulties for the students, which relates to technical defects and lake of computer skills of some students when they are applying the computer based exams. The purpose of the paper was to discuss online learning during Covid19 and the possibility of adopting (CBEs), then to determine negative and positive effects on the students of using computer-based exams and focus on some of suggesting solutions to the negative effects. Computer test which could cause negative effects on students due to various levels of skills to use a computer and some technical problems was examined. The design of the computer examination system requires careful planning and study from several aspects before becoming officially accepted, the computer-based exams still have a few problems which may lead to difficulties in using computer exams. Then the many benefits which could be gained by using computer-based exams, such as the student will be more independent with computer test were described. In addition, the students have access to the exams through the internet network. Finally, the effectiveness of certain strategy to solve the negative effects of computer-based exams were argued. Developing the solutions of the technical problems are required for computer test, where improving the input methods questions and corrections. It was resulted that online learning has considered as a better option during COVID-19 pandemic, and the computer exam, with adjustments, is more suitable for students.

Summary
Covid-19 pandemic has globally impacted on economic and social life, causing a restricted health case for many people, it resulted lockdown in many cities around the world. Online learning was a better option for education at this case. Electronic devices which are providing developed software have changed to be more suitable in educational operation [3, 4]. All these developments of the schooling devices have made it possible for students to do computer tests with better performance. On the other hand, adopting computer tests may lead to some difficulties for the student, which is related to technical defects and computer skills when applying the computer-based exam. These difficulties prevent the application of the computer test . This paper will discuss online learning during covid-19, as well negative and positive effects on the students when the computer-based exams been used and focus on suggesting some solutions to the negative effects of such exams to make continuous use of the computer-based exams possible [7, 8]
