How Exams Work

Colorado Law exams are computer-based. Students input their answers into Exam4, our computer-based bluebook application, that securely saves and transmits exam submissions to the Law School Registrar.  Students are assigned a unique, anonymous six-digit exam ID for each exam they are scheduled to take.  Students must input the appropriate six-digit exam ID into Exam4 and write the exam ID on their paper exam booklet when in-person exams occur. The six-digit exam ID is your personal identifier used with your exam. Each student has their own exam ID for each exam they take each exam season.

Students will receive detailed instructions via email from the Registrar prior to each exam season.

NOTE: For Spring 2022 midterms and final exams, students will take Exam4 exams remotely. As a result, exam questions will appear within the Exam4 program itself once a student has put in their credentials to start their exam. Students should take care to enter essay and multiple-choice answers in the correct answer area within the software. This is explained elsewhere on this page.

Exam4 Software

Colorado Law uses Extegrity's Exam4 software.  Exam4 is a simple, lightweight, and secure exam tool that is compatible with Windows and macOS.  It is the electronic equivalent of a paper bluebook for essay and short answer responses and a bubble sheet for multiple choice and true/false responses.  Normally, your professor may select from one of following exam modes, but for Spring 2022 midterm and final exams, all exams will occur in TAKEHOME mode.

  • CLOSED:  Only the Exam4 application is available.  Exam4 locks out access to other applications and the internet on your computer when this mode is enabled.
  • OPEN:  You may access other applications and files on your computer.  Access to the internet is disabled.
  • OPEN + Network:  You may access any application, local files, and the internet from your computer.   
  • TAKEHOME: What you use for a take-home exam. You may access your hard drive, other applications and the internet. You will be able to cut and paste external text into your exam. You may go into and out of this exam as many times as you want while you are working your exam. Once you have exited an exam in the CLOSED, OPEN or OPEN +NETWORK mode, you will not be able to get back into it. You may exit an exam in TAKEHOME mode, it will be saved, and you can start it again later. ALL SPRING 2022 Final Exams will occur in TAKEHOME mode.

Students must download a new Exam4 software package for each exam season.  The current Exam4 software for Spring 2022 Final Exams is available here:  https://www.exam4.com/org/599. Students are encouraged to download the latest Exam4 software package in advance of their exams so they can take a practice exam to familiarize themselves with Exam4's functionality and features.  Regardless of the exam mode for your exam, make sure you know what materials your professor is allowing you to use during the exam and whether or not you are allowed to copy/paste.

Anonymous Exam IDs

Students are assigned an anonymous, unique Exam ID for each exam which facilitates anonymous exam grading.  Prior to each exam, students must obtain their anonymous six-digit exam ID from Colorado Law's exam ID tool at https://www.colorado.edu/law/examid. To obtain each unique Exam ID, students must know their Identikey and password.  

Document IDs

Get your document IDs from https://www.colorado.edu/law/examid.The document ID is needed to securely fetch your exam questions within the exam software.

Practice Document ID

The Exam Document ID for the practice exam is D0000000. Click on the Practice Exam tab on this website for more information about the practice exam.

Taking an Exam

When the exam is scheduled to begin, the proctor will distribute green exam booklets containing the exam questions.  Students will receive instructions guiding them through the process of starting the exam.  Once the exam is underway, students will input exam answers into Exam4 which records and saves the typed information every minute. When students complete an exam, they submit their answers within the Exam4 tool.  When the student acknowledges completion of the exam, Exam4 will unlock the computer and seek an internet connection to upload the completed exam to the Law School's Exam4 Receiver. The Registrar’s Office then processes the exam and distributes it to your professor.    

Note: For Spring 2022 midterm and final exams, students will take all Exam4 exams remotely. Thusly, the exams will not be proctored. Students are on their honor to follow the Honor Code.

Disclaimer

Exam4, which is a product of the company Extegrity, is not a Colorado Law product. While the Registrar’s Office and Law School IT staff will help troubleshoot and assist students during their exams, it is the student’s responsibility to follow the instructions on the Exam4 website for the correct operation of Exam4. This includes system requirements, computer maintenance, and adherence to any other instructions given by Exam4. Prior to any exam, students should review the instructions on the Exam4 website.

If you have any technical issues or questions, contact lawit@colorado.edu or visit https://www.exam4.com/support/.  

If you have any questions about the exam process, contact the Registrar at lawreg@colorado.edu.

Checklist before taking your exam: 
  • Verify that you have downloaded and installed the Exam4 software package for the current exam season.
  • Turn off auto updates on your computer.
  • Close all other programs (Word, Safari, Chrome, etc.)
  • Reboot your computer before each exam (very important).
  • Have your unique six-digit exam ID ready for this exam.  Lookup the exam ID at https://www.colorado.edu/law/examid.  Remember, each exam has its own unique exam ID for each student and document ID (all students have the same document ID in any given class).
  • Have your laptop's power adapter handy.

A healthy computer is less likely to experience problems during an exam.  Be sure your computer is free of malware and operating normally.  Instructions for running TrendMicro's free HouseCall malware scanner are available for macOS and Windows.  Contact Law School Information Technology at lawit@colorado.edu if you have questions about your computer's fitness for exams.

Before Exams Begin

Prior to taking an exam, exam takers should make sure they have the Exam4 software package for the current exam season. This can be checked by opening Exam4 and verifying the version dates. 

Exam takers should ensure their laptop is ready to go and fully charged. Have your power adapter for your laptop handy.

Arrival For Exams

Exam takers should arrive by 8:00am for morning exams and 1:00pm for afternoon exams to check in with the exam proctors. Plan ahead for weather and traffic issues.

Exam takers who arrive after the exam begins are docked the amount of time by which they are late. The difference is deducted from the total time allotted for the exam. 

Note: For Spring 2022 midterm and final exams, Exam4 exams will occur remotely and there will be no proctors to "check in" students for their exams. Students are free to take exams at home or at another location of their choosing.

General Exam Information

  • Download the Exam4 software package ahead of time.
  • Pre-pandemic, cell phones were not allowed to be turned on or used for any reason during exams. This is generally still true during the Spring 2022 term and technical help can be obtained through IT (see the "Getting Help" tab). However, if you experience an emergency such as a power outage or another reason you may not be able to email, your cell phone may be used to call the Registrar's Office at 303-492-1865.
  • Do not use a cell phone as a timer or calculator.
  • Computer-based timers which count time and provide countdown alerts are acceptable. These will not work with CLOSED mode exams. Students are responsible for testing to make sure the timer works with the exam mode of their exam(s).
  • Fitness trackers or Fitbits are not allowed.
  • If you need to use the restroom during an exam, quietly leave the room leaving all of your belongings. The time on your exam will continue to count down. When you return to the room, be as quiet as possible. 
  • Make sure you know what materials your professor is allowing you to use during the exam and whether or not you are allowed to copy/paste. 
  • Do not discuss the exam afterwards with other students as they might be taking it at a later date. If you have questions or concerns about the exam, contact the Registrar's Office in the Dean's Suite, not your professor. Do not email your professor about anything related to exams until after the exam and grading period is complete. This preserves anonymity for grading purposes.
  • Students must work on their exam in the Exam4 software. It causes errors if students draft their exam in Word or some other program and then copy/paste their exam into Exam4. Students are expected to write and edit their exam only in Exam4. Even if allowed in the exam setting, students should not copy and keep any portion of their submitted exam on their computer.

  • NOTE: The use of dual screens is temporarily allowed for law school exams during the COVID-19 pandemic. It is advisable that students who wish to use more than one computer screen do a practice test to ensure it will work with your setup.

Handwriting Exams

Exam takers are allowed to handwrite exams. Those who plan to handwrite should email lawreg@colorado.edu in advance of the exam.

Those who choose to handwrite are required to bring their own blue books from the bookstore. The exam taker must ensure they have enough blue books for the exam and write their exam ID on all blue books used.

Take Home Exams

Any law school course which has a take home exam must be announced by the first day of class according to law school rules. An email from the Registrar’s Office is sent out to all exam takers in the class with the exam at 8:00am on exam day from lawreg@colorado.edu. Exam takers do not need to come to campus to take the exam. All exam rules and policies apply when using the take home exam room. Alternatively, exam takers can take the exam at home, in the library, or another location of their choosing. Exams must be completed and uploaded by 5:00pm. Students must work on their take home exam in the Exam4 software. It causes errors if students draft their exam in Word or some other program and then copy/paste their exam into Exam4. Students are expected to write and edit their take home exam only in Exam4. NOTE: For the Spring 2022 midterm and final exams, all "take home" exams will occur remotely as they did last year. Exam content can be found in Exam4.

Large Classes

Some exams will be assigned more than one exam room. The first room listed on the exam schedule is where exam takers can pick up the exam booklet, but they are free to set up in either room to take the exam. There will be proctors in both rooms. 

Rescheduled Exams

The Registrar’s Office coordinates all rescheduled exams and communicates with students about the date and time accordingly. Exam takers with approved rescheduled exams can go directly to the assigned reschedule room and the proctor will have their exam. Exam rescheduling is governed by law school rules. Inquiries can be directed to the Registrar’s Office at lawreg@colorado.edu. 

Students With Accommodations

Exam takers who are registered with Disability Services work directly with the Registrar’s Office. Inquiries can be made to lawreg@colorado.edu.

Computer issues

NOTE: SPRING 2022 final exams Exam4 exams will occur remotely. See the "Getting Help" tab for how to acess help during remote exams. Help is available during regular business hours. Most IT issues can be avoided by taking the practice exam.

It is extremely important for students to download the Exam4 software prior to each exam season and take a practice exam. This helps to identify potential laptop malfunctions ahead of time. Exam takers who experience issues during an exam should go to the Dean’s Suite with all of their possessions in hand in case they do not return to the room. DO NOT turn off or restart your computer until it has been evaluated by the law school staff. The law school has a limited number of emergency laptops available on a first come, first serve basis.

Sometimes Exam4 causes your computer to change back to the factory default background picture setting after you exit the program. Therefore, you may need to change your background picture back to what it was prior to using the software (if applicable).

Honor Code

Students are held to the Honor Code at the law school and the CU Student Code of Conduct. It is recommended that all exam takers review it prior to exams. 

Exam Day

  • Turn off and put away cell phones. Bring earplugs or sound muffling earmuffs. Headphones are acceptable as long as they are not connected to music or any sound.
  • Bring writing utensils.
  • A wristwatch or little clock is okay as long as it does not make noise. No smart watches or Fitbits. Drinks and quiet foods are okay.
  • Do not bring items, materials, or resources not allowed by the professor. Remember the Honor Code.
  • Make sure to bring a power cord.
  • Tablets and iPads are not allowed to take exams. Only laptops are permitted.

Starting Exams

NOTE: SPRING 2022 midterm and final Exam4 exams will occur remotely and are not proctored. Exam questions will appear in the Exam4 software once proper credentials have been inputted. This is when the timer for your exam begins (if the exam is timed).

When all exam takers are in their respective rooms and have signed in and picked up an exam booklet, they will be instructed by a proctor to:

  • Write their six-digit exam ID on their exam booklet.
  • Verify their Exam4 software package version is correct for the exam season.  
  • Input the unique six-digit exam ID they have been assigned for this exam.
  • Select the course exam from the list.

Students should not break the seal on their exam or start the exam until they are directed to do so. Once everyone has read through the instructions and has arrived at the Exam4 exam ID input screen (below), the proctor will read the exam rules then instruct students to enter the exam password into the "protected info (optional)" box.

Exam4 exam ID, course selection and exam code info.

The proctor will ask everyone to proceed to the next screen and confirm their settings.

Exam4 confirmation screen

Next, students will be asked to set their timer (if desired) and view preferences.  The proctor will instruct students on the duration of the exam.

Exam4 timer and view settings.

Next, the proctor will ask students to acknowledge the honor code and instructions.

Exam4 honor code acceptance.

The proctor will walk students through verifying the Exam Mode settings.

Verify exam mode for Exam4.

STUDENTS MUST NOT BEGIN THE EXAM UNTIL DIRECTED TO DO SO via the "Begin Exam" button.  The exam time begins once they go past this point, and it is at this point where the proctor will them to tear open the seal on the paper copy of the exam. Again, students must not tear open the seal on the paper copy until their poctor has given them the go-ahead to go past the "WAIT!" Begin Exam screen (below) and the time has started on the exam.

Exam4 Begin Exam

If the exam is “CLOSED,”  exam takers will not have access to applications/files/Internet. If the exam is "OPEN +Network" access to the internet and computer files is enabled. It is very important to read any messages about what access is allowed or not allowed.
 
Exam4 saves information every two minutes of the exam.  Exam4 tracks time spent on the exam, but will not automatically close the exam when your time runs out. It is the student's responsibility to self-monitor their time and close the exam on time.  To finish and close an exam, click on on the upper-left hand corner “End Exam” button and "End Exam Now."  The exam will close and the student will be prompted to submit their exam.  Exam4 will then upload the exam to the Colorado Law Exam4 Receiver. Please note that Exam4 does not send out upload notification emails. Students can close out Exam4 and go back into the software to see their confirmation by clicking on the "Select Existing Exam" and then click on "View Exam Submittal Receipt" to see their exam submission.

Students should drop the paper copy of the exam booklet (and any scratch paper or notes related to the exam) into the collection box in the room provided by the proctor. Exam takers should make sure their exam ID is on their exam booklet along with any notes taken during the exam. They should then leave the room and exam area quietly, to go outside or down on the first floor of the law school. Students must not discuss the exam with anyone else, as other students might be taking it at a later date.

Any questions or concerns about the exam should be directed to the Registrar’s Office and not the professor to preserve anonymity for grading purposes.  

 

 

My exam schedule in Buff Portal does not show any/all of my exams. What should I do?
For law school exam information, consult our website (https://www.colorado.edu/law/academics/calendars-and-schedules; scroll down to see Exam Schedules (by semester)). Do not rely on Buff Portal for law school exam information.

What is my Exam ID?
Each exam you take has a unique, anonymous six-digit ID assigned to you.  You can look up the exam IDs that you have been assigned for your exams at https://www.colorado.edu/law/examid.  You must input the correct exam ID into Exam4 and write it on your exam booklet. NOTE: For SPRING 2022 midterm and final exams, all Exam4 exams will occur remotely. Therefore, there will not be a physical exam booklet for students to write on. Exam questions will appear in the software once the exam begins.

What is Exam4?
Exam4 is Colorado Law's secure testing software.  Essentially, it is an electronic bluebook for essay and short answer responses and an electronic bubble sheet for multiple choice and true/false responses.  You will need to download a new version of the Exam4 software package for each exam season AND take a practice exam for each exam season.

What are the different Exam Modes?

CLOSED: You have access only to the exam you are typing. You may not access your hard drive, applications, or the internet. Once you end your exam, you may not go back and re-edit it.Your computer will run through a 1-2 minute Security Check prior to beginning. We expect that you will use this time to read the exam question. If your computer fails the security check, you can try re-booting and re-starting the software. If this doesn’t work, you must go to a library lab computer.

OPEN: You may access your hard drive and other applications, but do not have access to the internet. Exam4 prohibits cutting and pasting from any external document into the exam screen. Most exams will be in this OPEN mode. Once you end your exam, you may not go back and re-edit it.

OPEN + NETWORK: You have access to your hard drive, applications, and the internet. Exam4 prohibits cutting and pasting from any external document into the exam screen. Once you end your exam, you may not go back and re-edit it.

TAKEHOME: What you use for a take-home exam. You may access your hard drive, other applications and the internet. You will be able to cut and paste external text into your exam. You may go into and out of this exam as many times as you want during the 9-hours that you are working your exam. Once you have exited an exam in the CLOSED, OPEN or OPEN +NETWORK mode, you will not be able to get back into it. You may exit an exam in TAKEHOME mode, it will be saved, and you can start it again later.

Do I Really Need to Take a Practice Exam?
We highly recommend that you take a practice exam to familiarize yourself with Exam4.  This is especially true if you've used ExamSoft's SofTest or Examplify in the past.  Exam4 is easy to use, but puts responsibility on the student for formatting/sectioning their essay responses, timing the exam, and for spell check.

Does Exam4 Have Spell Check?
Yes, Exam4 has a spell check function available in the tools menu.  However, Exam4 will not check spelling as you type.

Does Exam4 Support Editing Functions Like Copy/Paste?
Exam4 supports select, undo/redo, copy/paste, and delete.  If your exam mode is OPEN or OPEN + Network, you can copy/paste between Exam4 and your applications. Do not copy/paste between Exam4 and your other applications (such as Microsoft Word) if you are doing a TAKEHOME exam. In other words, draft your exam in the software. It may cause errors to your exam or it may not save properly if you draft your exam outside of the software. Make sure you know what materials your professor is allowing you to use during the exam and whether or not you are allowed to copy/paste. It is not possible to copy/paste content from the exam questions into the exam answer area.

What is the answer separator?
The Answer Separator is a feature of Exam4 that allows you to separate out the word counts by question. Do NOT edit the Answer Separators in any way – it will not count your words correctly if you do.

Is there a word count?
Yes, you can choose to either show or hide the document stats for your exam by clicking a box on the right that says "Show/Hide Doc Stats" (see the practice exam tab for a picture of this). The Answer Separator in Exam4 allows you to separate word count by question. If you alter the Answer Separators in any way it will not count your words correctly.
 

Since the exam questions will live in Exam4, is it possible to annotate the questions?
It is not possible to annotate or make notes in the exam software itself. Students need to make notes on paper if they would like before drafting a final answer in Exam4. Notes should be shredded once the exam is complete. Students can highlight portions of the exam questions to reference while they are taking an exam.

My internet stopped working in the middle of my exam. What should I do?
If a student loses internet access during an exam (SPRING 2022 info specific), they will be able to continue working on it. From Exam4's point of view, the only issue is that they cannot fetch the exam questions again. So long as you do not close the questions, you will be okay since all exams are in take home mode this term. While the internet is down, the exam file will remain saved on your computer with all the secure time stamps, etc., so the student can upload it later.

Spring 2022 Law School Exam Schedule

Loaner Exam Laptops are available.  If you have any doubts or concerns about your computer’s OS version, performance, or reliability for exams, you may request a loaner laptop from Law IT at lawit@colorado.edu.  Exam laptops may be picked up now or at any time before finals and returned at the beginning of the spring semester.

How To Handle Loss Of Internet Access During An Exam: If a student loses internet access during an exam (SPRING 2022 info specific), they will be able to continue working on it. From Exam4's point of view, the only issue is that they cannot fetch the exam questions again. So long as you do not close the questions, you will be okay since all exams are in take home mode this term. While the internet is down, the exam file will remain saved on your computer with all the secure time stamps, etc., so the student can upload it later.

If you need immediate assistance during exams (or the week before), contact lawreg@colorado.edu or call 303-492-1865 (as a backup option). Staff will help you through your technical questions. It is important to take a practice exam to ensure viability of your laptop for the upcoming exam period. If you have questions about the exam questions themselves, you should address this in your exam answer.

If you have any problems or confusion with specific exam questions, please address those issues within your exam answer. Do not contact the Registrar or your professor with questions regarding the content of your exam.
