EXAMS & GRADES

Exam4

Typically, students will be required to download the Exam4 software and perform a practice exam twice a semester. The first for in-term assessments; the second for final exams. Any issues with the download process and/or practice exam should be addressed with the Law IT department at lawit@memphis.edu.

Many times, Exam4 will not support your laptop software updates. To ensure students are up to date on the latest information regarding Exam4, students are expected to read the On Legal Grounds blog and their memphis.edu email for messaging from IT and the Law Registrar's office. Currently supported operating systems can be found here.

Exam Numbers

Anonymous exam numbers are distributed via email by the Law Registrar's office for in-term assessments, as well as, final exams. Students receive a separate number for their in-term assessments, such as quizzes, midterms, or writing assessments. This in-term exam number should not be confused with the final exam number and should not be used as a substitute for the final exam number. In-term assessment exam numbers are four digits, while final exam numbers are three digits. Once the final exam period begins, only the final exam number should be used.

Conflict Exams

The Law Registrar's office is responsible for proctoring conflict exams. A conflict exam is defined as two exams scheduled on the same day. All students should request permission from the Associate Dean of Academic Affairs to enroll in the courses with conflicting exams. Click here to submit your request.

If permission is granted, one of the conflicting examinations will be rescheduled, typically to the next day in the examination period when a student does not have an examination. A student with an approved exam conflict will be contacted via email prior to the examination period with an alternate date & time along with instructions.

Grades

Each semester, a faculty member has three weeks from the end of the exam period to submit grades to the Law Registrar's office for posting. The Law Registrar typically posts daily, as grades are received.
