Exam 4

Exam4 is the software students must use when a professor wants students to take an examination on their laptop computers.

Students have to download and install a new version of Exam4 for EVERY EXAM PERIOD. MID-TERM exams and FINAL exams occur in SEPARATE EXAM PERIODS. So, students have to download and install the software once for mid-term exams, then download and install new software for final exams, then download and install new software for the next semester’s mid-terms exams, etc.

You do not need to uninstall the current version of the software prior to installing the new version.
