How to open EXAM file?

The most common problem when using ProfExam Exam Data Format is that a specific EXAM is not associated with the program. This is manifested by the fact that EXAM files open in unusual applications or do not have an assigned program. This problem can be easily remedied.

The first thing you should do is just "doubleclick" on the EXAM file icon you want to open. If the operating system has an appropriate application to support it and there is also an association between the file and the program, the file should be opened.

Step 1. Install ProfExam

An often overlooked issue is to make sure that ProfExam is installed on the computer. The easiest method is to use the system search engine by entering the program name ProfExam in it.

Programs to open EXAM file

Remember to download programs supporting EXAM files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.

Step 2. Create association of ProfExam with EXAM files

However, it may happen that the application itself does not cause the EXAM file to open in the ProfExam application, but you can set it manually. The association can be created using the drop-down list available by right-clicking on the file and selecting Properties. The window will show, among other things, the type of the file and the information by which the program is used to launch the file. Using the "Change" button we can set the program to handle this type. It may happen that in the next window there will be no appropriate program - however, this can be corrected with the "Browse" option where you should manually indicate the program location. However, it is important to check the "Always use the selected program ..." box, this will allow you to permanently associate the EXAM file with the ProfExam application.

Step 3. Update ProfExam to the latest version

If, despite the association of the ProfExam program with the ProfExam Exam Data Format file, the file still does not open, check the program version and possibly update it to the newest version. Some applications allow you to update from the program level, and for others you need to download the installer from the Sketchman Studio page and install.

Step 4. Check for the following problems with the EXAM file

If the above steps do not help, you can assume that the file itself is not correct. This could be due to the file itself, the cleanest issues are:

The EXAM file may be unusually small compared to the original file. This suggests truncating the EXAM file contents when downloading or copying. The only repair option is to download the file again.
The computer may have fallen victim to a computer virus or hacker. A virus scan using an up-to-date antivirus program should fix the problem. Alternatively, you can use the scanners available online. For the best results, we will scan the entire operating system, not just our EXAM file. Sometimes virus-infected EXAM files cannot be recovered, so make a backup in advance.
A typical compatibility error - the program does not support the older version of the EXAM file. On their websites, developers usually offer free solutions to such problems, e.g. in the form of a conversion program or an older version of the program.
There can be many reasons for this. The repair method must be adapted to the type of file and damage. Some programs offer the ability to automatically repair EXAM file corruption. The easiest way to restore the file is from a backup or by contacting , but this one can be expensive. Not all damage can be reversed.
The program can also signal the fact of encryption. The encrypted file EXAM except for the special designation, works normally, but only on the device where it was encrypted, before transferring it to another machine, decryption is required.
Some operating systems do not allow file operations in certain locations, eg in system directories or directly on the system drive. These directories are write-protected to them and it's very hard to fix this problem. Copying the EXAM file to another location will fix the problem.
This can happen on a file that does not support multiple access. In this case, the EXAM file is blocked by the first application to open it. Running programs (including those in the background) should be verified. Sometimes you have to wait for the session to the file EXAM to close. Some anti-virus or backup software may occupy the EXAM file for a certain period of time. If nothing helps, please reset the device.
