What are computer based exams and Exam4?

Exam4 by Extegrity is the software that 无码专区 Law School uses for students to be able to type their exam answers on their laptop computer.

All students have the option of using Exam4 or using pen and bluebook. About 95% of our students use Exam4. You must attend a training and installation session every semester that you plan to use Exam4. 1Ls will be trained on the software at the beginning of the semester. 2Ls, 3Ls, and any 1Ls who missed the first 1L session will be trained later in the semester. All sessions will be announced via email.
