🚫Want to Be Sure Your Sound Works Before the Test?

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
