    Surface Pro 3:

    • Device Manager > Cameras > Microsoft LifeCam Rear > Disable
    • Device Manager > Intel R AV Screen Camera > Disable

    Surface Pro 4:

    • Device Manager > Imaging Devices > Microsoft Camera Rear> Disable
    • Device Manager > System Devices > Microsoft Camera Rear> Disable
    Additional Information:

    Once you have these permissions enabled, you should restart your computer and then re-launch Examplify.

    • Examplify should be running Version 3.5.0. If you are not on the latest version, login and download it from the link below. Examplify Downloads and System Requirements are available at: https://examsoft.com/busm
    • In the Examplify Application, download and take the short ‘Tech Test 2024-2025’ (Password: Test2425)’ to test your system before the actual Exam. The Mock Assessment will take a webcam photo of you for verification purposes, create a recording and upload it to ExamSoft upon completion. Please complete this exam before your actual exam.
    • You will receive an email from an EdTech team member when your Mock Assessment and exam are available to download.
    • When you start the exam, a webcam recording will also begin. Move your device around to show your immediate area on camera for security purposes. You will be recorded throughout the Exam.
    • If the Digital Notepad is enabled by your faculty, you’ll have the ability to take digital notes during the exam. Check the option to ‘Submit Feedback’ to save your notes during the exam.
    • Once you submit, your exam file and the webcam recording will be uploaded. This may take a few minutes to process, so please be patient.
