  LaTeX is a free document preparation system that handles the typesetting of
mathematical expressions smoothly and elegantly. It has become the standard
format for creating and publishing research articles in mathematics and many
scientific fields. Computer-based testing (CBT) has become widespread in recent
years. Most establishments now use it to deliver assessments as an alternative
to using the pen-paper method. To deliver an assessment, the examiner would
first add a new exam or edit an existing exam using a CBT editor. Thus, the
implementation of CBT should comprise both support for setting and
administering questions. Existing CBT applications used in the academic space
lacks the capacity to handle advanced formulas, programming codes, and tables,
thereby resorting to converting them into images which takes a lot of time and
storage space. In this paper, we discuss how we solvde this problem by
integrating latex technology into our CBT applications. This enables seamless
manipulation and accurate rendering of tables, programming codes, and equations
to increase readability and clarity on both the setting and administering of
questions platforms. Furthermore, this implementation has reduced drastically
the sizes of system resources allocated to converting tables, codes, and
equations to images. Those in mathematics, statistics, computer science,
engineering, chemistry, etc. will find this application useful.
