Why does SCU LAW use the Examsoft platform and its exam taking software, Examplify?
IN-CLASS SECURE, SEMI, OR OPEN: Exams are administered in Charney Hall classrooms and/or classrooms converted to accommodated exam rooms.
OPEN (non-scheduled, time-limited): You will be notified of the start date to download the Examplify exam template for your exam and will have a time limit, usually 24 hours to 168 hours (1 week) from when you download the exam template. Pay close attention to the due date and upload time, and plan accordingly. Check your exam instructions carefully.
SECURE (scheduled, same day): You will be notified of the date and time to download the Examplify exam template for your exam. You will need to upload your exam answers via Examplify the same day. Your exam template for SECURE/scheduled exams will only be available on the date and time noted in your exam instructions that was emailed to you. SECURE/scheduled exams may use Examplify features Exam ID and Exam Monitor
REMOTE (Performance Assessment): All exams are administered remotely via Examplify and falls into two categories:
REMOTE (Performance Assessment using Exam ID and Exam Monitor): All exams are administered remotely via Examplify using Examsoft's featured EXAM ID and ExamMonitor. Please note that the State Bar Examiners prefer this format so SCU Law may administer this format for at least on of your exams.
TAKE-HOME (Performance Assessment): Exams are administered via the Examsoft portal website via their upload/download process using Examsoft's "Drop Box" process. Take-home exams do not need the exam taking software, Examplify, to submit your exam file. Check your exam instructions that were emailed to you.
