How to Take an Exam in Examplify

Below are the steps for taking an exam using Examplify:

1. Launch Examplify. On a Windows device, click on the Examplify icon on your desktop. On a Mac device, navigate to the Applications folder and click on Examplify.
2. Click on the exam name on the left-hand side.
3. On the right, enter the password provided to you by a proctor and click ‘Enter’.
4. You will be presented with a warning that you are entering a secure exam.
5. Read each Notice Window carefully and click ‘Next’ to advance to the next notice. Click ‘Continue’.
6. STOP AND WAIT when the STOP SIGN appears. When instructed by your proctor, click ‘Continue’.
7. When instructed by a proctor, check the box authorizing you to start the exam and click ‘Start Exam’.
8. The exam will open in Examplify and you will be presented with the first question of the exam.

Important Information:

• Compose your answer for each question in the text box. DO NOT ANSWER ALL QUESTIONS IN ONE TEXT BOX.
• Examplify will automatically save your answers in the exam every 60 seconds.
• Do NOT use cut and paste. If cut is accidentally used and you need to recover text, you must IMMEDIATELY undo the cut action by using CTRL+Z (Windows) and Command+Z (Mac) or clicking the Undo button (back arrow) in the toolbar. If you navigate away from the question or continue typing after a cut, undo will NOT retrieve your cut text and the cut text will be lost. Examplify will alert you if you cut, delete, or overwrite more than 500 characters at one time. You will need to click ‘Ok’ to acknowledge the message. To prevent accidental deletions, always use copy and paste instead of cut and paste.
• Examplify automatically creates all headers, page numbers, and margins that can be included when printed by the Bar Examiners.
• When leaving your seat (i.e. restroom break), block your screen by clicking the ‘Exam Controls’ menu, then ‘Hide Exam’.
• Once you submit the exam, the exam file cannot be reopened.

To EXIT your Examplify Exam:

1. On the final question, click ‘Finish’ OR select ‘Exam Controls’ then ‘Submit Exam’
2. On the blue screen, select the checkbox then click the ‘Submit Exam’.
3. Check the confirmation box and click ‘Submit Exam’. Remember, once you submit the exam, the exam file cannot be reopened.
4. If you are connected to the internet, your answer file will upload.
5. If you are not connected to the internet, Examplify will notify you that the exam is complete, and you must upload by deadline. Click ‘Return to Dashboard’. Once you connect to the internet, launch Examplify and click ‘Retry Upload’.
   • Note: Your answer file and all of its content has been saved to your computer.
