For the Spring 2008 Exams, we are again offering students the opportunity to take exams on their laptop computers using special exam writing software. The software we will be using is produced by Extegrity and is called Exam4. The software works on Windows and Macintosh (running at least MacOS 10.4) computers.

A. Register with the College to Take the Exams
Complete the College online registration form to take an exam on your computer and sign up for the exams you want to take before Monday, May 5th..

1. Exam Account Creation
2. Exam Sign-Up

B. Download Exam Software
The software is available for downloading at www.Exam4.com.
(Starting Monday, April 21, 2008)

1. Click on "for Law schools."
2. Scroll down to Ohio and click on the Cincinnati Law link.
3. Fill out the brief registration form and submit it.

NOTICE: The College of Law is not responsible for any equipment failure during the exam and will not allot extra time to enable students to address equipment failure. Students who experience equipment failure must continue the exam by writing in bluebooks. Exam4 automatically backs-up your work for you every ten seconds; therefore, answers written prior to a malfunction should be recoverable from the computer's hard drive
