Important information for Semester 2 2012: Much of the information on this site and in the supporting documents mentions that students may use their own laptop for eExams.  For Semester 2 2012 this is not the case.  All eExams will be held in the Pharmacy PC Lab on the SandyBay campus, using university-supplied PCs.  Therefore students do not need to have their laptops certified for use, however students can still borrow or create a USB stick to practice in the eExams environment on their own equipment, as described below.

Your unit coordinator may offer the chance to take your examination using a computer. 

Your unit coordinator will require your name to be on the list of eExam candidates by the end of week 8.

Remember to check your exam timetable - if you nominated for the eExam you may still have to go to the eExam room even if you have changed your mind and want to do the exam on paper.

You can try the eExam System on your own computer to see if it suits you. 

• There are copies of a practice USB stick available for loan from the main desk in the Morris Miller Library.  You can borrow these for up to 2 hours and use your own laptop to practice.
• If you wish to create your own USB stick.  You will need to provide a USB data stick with a minimum capacity of 2Gb for a practice eExam. Any data already on the stick will be overwritten. Please follow the instructions below, and complete the small trial exam provided:
