The college uses Exam4 (https://exam4.com) to administer in-person and take-home exams.

Exam4 Software Pre-Requirements

1. Do not upgrade to a new operating system (OS) without checking to see if Exam4 supports the new OS - https://www.exam4.com/support/
2. Update your current operating system and make sure that you have rebooted your computer within a few days of your first exam.
3. Take practice exams using the software to work out technical problems and to become comfortable with the software in advance. Law IT will not have time to help troubleshoot technical problems in the minutes before the exam start time. Taking a practice exam will also allow you to grow accustomed to the software interface and features before you take your exams.

Review the Exam Instructions templates. These templates include the boilerplate exam instructions but they do not include the specific exam instruction added by your professor. You have access to the professor specific instructions on the day of the exam.

Practice Exam4 exam templates are available in each exam software builds to ensure your success with the exam technology. It is highly recommended that you take as many practice exams as necessary in advance to help you feel comfortable using the software on your exam days. 

To take practice exams, download, install, and launch the Exam4 software and find the most appropriate Practice exam type. There is a practice exam available in the course selection section for each of the three exam types near the top of the available exams list. You can also test toggling between essay exams and multiple choice questions in the software. It is recommended that you take at least one practice exam using the exam type that matches the exam type your professor will be using for your actual exam so you don't have questions or surprises on exam day. 

Make sure you are familiar with all of the software features by reviewing all of the menu options, manually adding an answer divider, setting the optional timer reminder, and submitting your answer electronically.

Exam numbers are used for the purpose of anonymous grading. You receive two numbers for each semester - one for midterms and one for final exams. The Registrar will email all students before each set of exam numbers are available. If you have any questions or concerns about the exam or exam questions, do not speak to the professor. Please contact Faculty Support, the Dean of Students, or the Law Registrar’s office to preserve anonymity.

Law IT staff will be available in the college lobby starting approximately 1/2 hour before the exam start times. Please arrive at your exam 1/2 hour before the exam start time. If the Law IT staff does not have time to help with technical problems in the minutes leading up to the exam start time, you might be asked to stay for the exam instructions and then leave with the IT proctor to another classroom to solve the technical problem. You will take your exam in another classroom. Law IT will also be available during the exams in the law lobby. Quietly head to the lobby with your computer for technical support if you experience any mid-exam problems.
