  2. Examinees are responsible for downloading and registering the latest approved version of Examplify on their laptop prior to exam day. Examinees are strongly encouraged to familiarize themselves with the software by downloading and taking the practice Mock Exam.
  3. Examinees will be notified via MyCourses, of all exam related information. Email notifications will also be sent from ExamSoft Support to examinees, notifying them of examinations available for downloading.  Students MUST download exams 24 hours in advance and will not be permitted to download in the examination venue.
