Examplify Features

Limited word-processor: No spell check, grammar check or thesaurus function will be available.

Autosave: Examplify automatically saves the examination answer file every minute. This ensures that no work will be lost in the event of a power outage or computer shutdown. Exam Log: In addition to the examination answer file, a separate file maintains a record of certain examination data. As well as providing a log of examination settings, this file also records the time the student started the exam, the time the examination was ended by the student and any irregularities that might have occurred. The irregularity report will include any restart, total lapsed time and if the examination was exited normally. This information may only be accessed by authorized personnel. Restricted Printing and Exam File Access: The typed examination is saved in an encrypted format. Once the examination has ended, the examination may only be opened and printed by authorized personnel. Students will not have an opportunity to review their exam in printed form. The encrypted examination will be printed on the next business day following the administration of the examination, and should a problem occur with a student's printed examination, the Office of Academic Services will notify the student.

Character Count: There will be examinations for which the faculty member will impose restrictions on the number of words or characters. Examplify keeps track of character count and word count, by question, for you.

Multiple Choice Examinations Examinations may be entirely multiple choice or have a multiple choice component. If your exam includes multiple choice questions, make sure to select an answer. Do not "strike out" an answer. If your exam includes essay questions as well as multiple choice, the multiple choice questions will come first. You may answer the questions in any order. Both multiple choice and essay questions are entered on Examplify.

Remote Examinations

Students who are enrolled in courses offered remotely will take examinations, if scheduled for these courses, remotely on Examsoft/Examplify.
