Before starting your test, it’s important to check your sound output. Audio instructions, speech tests, or timed responses may be part of your assessment — and missing them due to a muted device or misrouted audio can interrupt your session. Here’s how to test your audio in a few quick steps.

​
🛠 How to Test Sound Output

​
On Any Device:

  1. Playback the sound that you recorded in audio test.
  2. Go to YouTube and play a short video
  3. Make sure you can hear the sound clearly
  4. If not, adjust your volume, output device, or try a different audio source

​
On Chrome:

  1. Open a video or audio test tab
  2. Right-click the tab → Click “Unmute site”
  3. Confirm that sound plays as expected

​
📚 Pro Tips Before Your Test

  • Close all other apps that might take over audio (Zoom, Teams, music players)
  • Disable Bluetooth temporarily if switching between devices causes problems

🌐 Final Check Before Entering Test
