What else do I need to know?

  • Time Accommodations: Alert your instructors ASAP if you require any testing accommodations (e.g. Time and a Half, Double Time, etc..)

  • Anti-virus programs can affect Examplify performance. Students should temporarily disable antivirus programs before starting any secure exams (and re-enabling after the exam has ended).

  • Questions about Examsoft use in a course should be sent to your instructor directly. The I.T. Help desk does not have access to reset exams, only your professor.
