Start an Exam

When you start Examplify, the first screen will be the "My Exams" Screen, where you can see the exam files that are available.

When you select an exam, the lower section shows you the details and settings for the exam.

Exam details screen

In our example, it is a non-secure exam, WiFi is blocked during the exam, you can navigate back and forth between questions.  You can also check here to see if your professor has allowed the Spell Check and/or Copy & Paste functions.  In our example, Spell Check and Copy & Paste are both on.  If Copy and Paste is off, you will not be able to cut and paste anything into your Examplify window.

 

  1. Select the exam. 
  2. Your exam number will be entered for you automatically.  You will not have to enter anything in the Student ID field.
  3. Enter the exam password, which will be given to you by the proctors in the exam room.  Each exam has a unique password.
  4. Click the "Start Exam" button.

 

If you get this screen,  this means that you still have some MS Office programs running. You can choose to exit Examplify and close the programs, or allow Examplify to close the programs for you.

 

 

If you are taking a secure exam, you will then get this screen.

This is the screen that puts your computer in secure exam mode.  It will lock out all other functions except for the Examplify word processor.

This is the point of no return.  Once you go past this screen, you cannot exit Examplify until you have completed your exam.  

Click Continue.

 

Secure exam starting

 

The next screen says "Do not start until instructed".  Stop here and wait until the proctor tells you to begin.

Stop here until instructed to start your exam

 

This will bring you to this next screen. 
Put a check mark where it says, "I am authorized to start my exam."
Then click the "Start Exam" button.  This will start your exam timer and take you into the exam.
