Examplify for iPad from ExamSoft Worldwide, Inc
This is the free iPad app that is used to deliver exams in the first and second years of the curriculum. You are required to downlad and install it from the App Store.

How to SIGN IN and use MFA
At the Institution ID section, start typing " Drexel University College of Medicine and then select it.

Next enter your Drexel UserID and Password.

Next you will need to Multi-Factor Authenticate (MFA). Examplify for iPad cannot use the authentication method called : "Microsoft Authenticator - notification". If you have this method chosen as your default method you wil need to change it to finish signing-in.

Acceptable MFA methods are:
  - "Authenticator app or hardware token – code"
  - "Phone - text"
  - "Phone- call"

However during exams you will not be able to have your phone with you in the room. In case you are logged out of Examplify for iPad, we require that before exams you:
  1) Set your MFA method to be - "Authenticator app or hardware token – code"
  2) Have the Microsoft Authenticator app installed and set up on your iPad

To change your default sign-in method, follow these steps:
  1. Sign into Office on the web – office.com
  2. Click your account image (or initials) in the upper right corner
  3. Click “View account”
  4. Click “Security info” in the left menu
  5. Click “Change” next to Default sign-in method and select "Authenticator app or hardware token
      -code" and then click CONFIRM.

Now in the Examplify for iPad app after signing into Drexel Connect it will ask for a Verification Code. To get it, go to the Authenticator app on your iPad, click on your Drexel profile and obtain the ONE-TIME PASSWORD CODE and use this code in Examplify for iPad.

Please refer to these instructions in our Examplify for iPad Student Guide
