They have also gained an increasing demand in education field, for instance m-learning, mobile time table system and many others. The objective of this paper is to present the improvement of current m-examination results systems that send results via SMS. The system was developed in 3-tier architecture and tested by 35 respondents in which it accepts request from student in SMS, does information searching, converts information into PDF document and sends the document to student via MMS. Two types of tests were conducted to evaluate the system namely functional and user acceptance tests. The system was successfully developed and believed can improve the SMS-based examination results system. The study implies potential time saving where MMS-based examination results slip can be used for official transactions on top of its flexibility that is accessible anytime and anywhere. For future works, it is proposed that more security measures be implemented to ensure reliability and both MMS-based and SMS-based functionalities are integrated in a single system to offer more benefits to users. {\^A}{\copyright} IDOSI Publications, 2011.} }
