First, business requirement were introduced by our internal company needs but it seems to me that they are and not very specific and are common enough.
Second, WSS-oriented solution helped us to use some nice advantages of SharePoint such as Active Directory integration, usage of SharePoint lists, several helpful controls etc.
In some cases we should have bent SharePoint to make all we need but it was quite nice experience.
Now let’s discuss the features with the help of pictures and screenshots.
1) Division into three site roles: Site administrator, Tutor and normal user.
a. Normal user can execute exams assigned to him by administrator or tutor, view his results, restore interrupted exams and that’s all.
b. Tutor has all the functionality of a normal user plus he/she can create exams and topics, add and edit questions to his own topics, use questions and topics of another users without possibility to edit or delete them, view his own exam results, assign his exams to users.
c. Site administrator has all the functionality of tutor without any limitations that is he can add, edit and delete any entity in the Quiz portal.

2) Three types of questions: Single choice, multiple choice and free text which is determined automatically regarding to the quantity of answers and correct answers among them.
3) Each question has its own weight ranging from 1 to 5.
