Examination Schedule [top]

[Fall '11]  [Spr. '12]  [Summer '12]  

Written examinations are held in each course at the end of each semester. Students may write their exam answers in the school provided blue books or they may utilize a laptop computer, then upload the exam answers via Examsoft's program. This is the same program which is utilized by the State Bar for the Baby Bar and California Bar examinations. Additional tests are scheduled at the option of the faculty. 

The identities of students are kept anonymous. Students' exam answers are marked only with the last 4-digits (6, if necessary) of their Social Security numbers and only the registrar has access to a roster which matches those numbers with their respective student.

A student unable to take a final examination at the scheduled time must notify the school no later than the day of the exam. Makeup exams must be scheduled as soon as possible.  Failure to notify the school by exam day will result in a failing grade.

Laptop use for examinations -- Students wishing to use a laptop computer must provide the school with their email address, download Examsoft's SofTest software, register SofTest, and download Exam files prior to exams.  Click [Laptop Use on Exams] for more information.
