Exam4

Exam4 is like an armored word processor. While you are taking an exam, nothing else can get in or out. Exam4 turns your computer into a dedicated essay exam-taking machine.

  1. Go to exam4.com and search for the University of Mississippi under Law Schools.
  2. Select the University of Mississippi School of Law
  3. Fill out the registration form at the bottom of the next page, and proceed to download Exam4.
  4. Move the file to a known location
    1. Mac users need to move the downloaded file to the Applications folder
    2. Windows users, the desktop is always a nice place to put things if you have room

Exam4 expires at the end of each semester examination period. It must be downloaded and installed to take upcoming examinations at the beginning of each semester. Exam4 is provided by the law school free of charge.

Recommended Purchase:   A three foot to five foot (3 – 5 ‘) network cable to be used when taking an examination with Exam4. The classroom desks are power and wired ethernet ready.
