• Records & Registration (R&R) Emails: Detailed exam instructions and the passwords necessary to begin will be emailed to you by Records & Registration at the beginning of each exam.

Backed-Up: Examplify saves your work automatically every 60 seconds. If your computer crashes during an exam, do not panic, you can restart it and Examplify will automatically resume from the latest save.

Time: In the event that you have a problem, you will be given as much extra time as required to resolve the issue. However, if you do experience a problem, you are required to contact IT and R&R staff immediately to be issued this extra time. Do not worry; you will never lose exam time due to an Examplify error.

Uploading: Once finished, click Exam Controls and choose Submit Exam. The green Upload Complete screen means your exam has successfully uploaded. If you cannot upload after the exam check if your internet connection is still active.
