Laptop Exams / ExamSoft
All students have the option to take laptop exams using ExamSoft/Examplify software. Students must complete these importants steps to qualify their laptop for use during final exams. Students missing the Practice Exam Deadline will write ALL exams in Blue Books.
NEW FOR FALL 2018: Please see new Examplify minimum system requirements before purchasing new laptops. Accept the upgrade to 1.7.4 or higher
Use ONLY Firefox or Chrome browsers for ALL Blackboard submissions. Browsers such as Edge, Internet Explorer and Safari can cause technical difficulties and upload BLANK documents without giving error messages.
MacOS Mojave (version 10.14) was just announced as a supported operating system by ExamSoft. It is still recommended to wait till the spring to make this upgrade if you can. This will give ExamSoft a full finals period in which to work out any surprise fixes without involving your exams.
During the Practice Exam, pay close attention to the "Begin Exam" screen. The last minor upgrade includes some screen changes.
