This 5 minute grace period for each exam is provided specifically to allow time for student<span class=\"gmail_default\">s<\/span> to properly save (as a PDF) and upload exam answer<span class=\"gmail_default\">s<\/span>. You must immediately begin to upload your exam answer as soon as the exam period is over or when you have finished &#8211; whichever comes first. If your answer does not upload within the 5 minute grace period, you must email your answer to <a href=\"mailto:lawexams@temple.edu\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">lawexams@temple.edu<\/a> to time-stamp your exam. Over the last year we have learned that idle webpages are the most common cause for a delayed upload. Because of this, you must remember to always log out of Examsoft after you have downloaded your exam. If you fail to do so, the webpage may time-out and you will have trouble uploading your answer. After sending your answer to the administration, follow the below trouble-shooting steps:<\/div>\n<ul>\n<li>Quit and restart the entire browser completely &#8211; not just the individual Examsoft tab<\/li>\n<li>Switch to a completely different browser.
