Exam4 is the software School of Law students must use when taking exams using their laptop computers. New versions of the software must be installed each semester.
Please note that Windows operating systems prior to 8.1 and Mac operating systems prior to 10.13 (High Sierra), Apple iDevices, Microsoft Surface (RT versions), Linux, Chromebooks, and Virtual operating systems (VMS) are NOT supported by the Exam4 maker, Extegrity Exam. If you have a computer with one of the above-mentioned operating systems, there is not a version of the Exam4 software being produced that will run on your computer. You will need to upgrade the operating system on your computer, purchase a newer computer, or borrow a laptop from a friend or colleague that already has Exam4 loaded onto it so that you can take an exam.
Instructions for Downloading and Installing Exam4
- You do not need to uninstall the current version of the software prior to installing the new version.
