Preparing For Exam Day
For the highest probability of a smooth test taking experience, be sure to verify your device meets all of the minimum system requirements before installing Examplify. Also, we highly recommend you review our best practices for exam takers. Below, are a few helpful items to prepare for the bar exam:
- Bring your registered laptop, a fully charged battery, and an electrical extension cord (6 feet). Check with your jurisdiction to see if you are allowed to bring an external mouse and full-size keyboard.
- Ensure that your computer’s internal clock has the correct date/time. The time on your device should be in the jurisdiction’s time zone where you are taking the bar exam.
- When you arrive at the exam site, use the exam day instructions to launch Examplify. After typing the exam password, you must STOP at the stop sign screen until the proctor instructs you to proceed. DO NOT click ‘Continue’ until instructed to do so by a proctor.
