System Requirements

Can I use Netbooks or Tablet PCs to take my exams?

The use of NETBOOKS is permitted, however, due to the screen resolution, scrolling may be required when using Examplify.

RVU does not allow tablet-PC use because ExamSoft Support cannot troubleshoot Tablet-PC’s issues. (and it is an additional cost per student regardless of the number of students using tablets, so this feature is not funded)

RVU does not allow i-Pad use
