Make sure your headset is on and your microphone or recording device is ready. Before the test begins, you should check the microphone connection and volume. In this section you will record your responses to the questions, but you will not be able to play back your recorded responses until the end of the test. Follow these steps to make sure your microphone is working before you start recording your responses. Place your microphone in front of your mouth. Click Record and speak into your microphone. Click Stop. Click Play. If your voice does not play back, check your microphone connections and the volume. To change the volume, click on the Volume icon at the top of the screen. The volume control will appear. Move the volume indicator to the left or to the right to change the volume. If you hear your voice and it is loud enough, click on Continue to begin.
