Laptop Exam Information

(All information posted to this page is REQUIRED READING.)

STEP 1: Required Reading 

Read before downloading the exam software and files:

1. Only download the software and exam files if you plan to take an exam with your laptop.  Students that plan to handwrite all exams should not download the software or the exam files.  If you intend to handwrite your exam do not bring your laptop to the exam room. 
   
2. The SofTest software must be installed on your computer's main hard drive.  When downloading the software, follow the on-screen instructions on the ExamSoft web page. You must download the SofTest to your main drive (which is your C Drive for most students).  Downloading the software to any other drive than your main drive may result in the loss of your completed exam file. Do not move the program files or the exam files. This action may result in the loss of your completed exam file and may be viewed as tampering with the exam software.
   
3. All Students using ExamSoft/SofTest must download their exam files by the exam download deadline to the laptop you plan to use during the exam period.  All deadlines will be clearly stated in email messages from The Office of the Registrar.  You cannot copy, cut, or move exam files from one laptop to another.  Your exam files will only work on the laptop that you used to download the files.
   
4. Once you have installed SofTest and downloaded exam files,  do not make any system changes (updates, adding, deleting programs) to your laptop. 
   After downloading the exam files on to your laptop, if you need to use a different laptop for any reason you must contact Dru Bartos (dabartos@wulaw.wustl.edu), 314-935-7458, Anheuser-Busch Hall, Suite 303.  Each exam file is secured and may only be downloaded, opened, and uploaded one time.
   

DO NOT OPEN YOUR EXAM FILE BEFORE THE EXAM ASSISTANT INSTRUCTS YOU TO DO SO ON THE DAY OF THE EXAM.
