Does ExamSoft allow you to paste outside resources to a new exam?
No. Once the computer reboots into secure mode, all other programs are blocked.
How is my exam saved or found in the event of computer failure during an exam?
The program saves an encrypted copy of the exam answer on the computer hard drive every 15 seconds. The file can be retrieved from the hard drive and sent to academics, where a special program is used to print or export the exam answer.
Can I change a class from a graded class to a pass/no pass? If so how do I do this?
