Extemp Interface

A quick overview of Extemp, to get you started and help you find your way.

1 Folder View
From the starting page of Extemp, you can view, manage and delete your articles and folders.

2 News Feed

Using the second icon from the left-side navigation bar you can open the News Feed, which offers thousands of automatically gathered articles from over 50 sources.

3 Extemp Round

The Extemp Round feature allows you to simulate a tournament round to help you prep. You can use an adjustable timer to set your round time, type in a title and add articles to use as evidence. All the rounds you create (if you've added at least one article) will be found in the Classroom's Extemp Round Activity section.

4 Practice Questions

The Practice Questions is a new feature from Prepd which allows students to use carefully gathered topic question during a round.

5 Top Bar

This is where the Searching, Sorting and Filtering options are, as well as where you will find the News Feed. This bar is similar throughout our applications (small variation may be caused by context - eg. docket/bill ordering for the Congress Dockets and Bills pages). 

• Clicking the Magnifier icon (or typing in a keyword and hitting the Enter key) will open the Smart Search.
• The world icon opens the News Feed, where you can find new articles from 50 news sources.
• The third icon will open the Sort and Filter options, which you can use to narrow down the list of articles displayed on the Article Feed.
