We have been using Examsoft for years and have not witnessed, heard, or suspected any cheating similar to what you describe. Most of our students who use Examsoft use all of the available time for an exam. The only test security we use is that we have students sign out on a sheet of paper if they leave the room more than 10 minutes before the end of the exam. We can then check Examsoft to see that those students did not work on the exam after they signed out. ------ David David Raeker-Jordan Legal Methods Professor Widener University Commonwealth Law School 3800 Vartan Way, PO Box 69380 Harrisburg, PA 17106-9380 717.541.1996 [log in to unmask] On Tue, Jun 30, 2015 at 1:50 PM, Jackson, John Mark <[log in to unmask]> wrote: > Not exactly a TBL question, but could use some opinions. > > We will implement computer based exams this fall.
