Audio tips
Follow these tips to make sure your sound is crystal clear:
- Take your practice test in a quiet, distraction-free environment.
- Plug your microphone in before you start your test so it's detected during the microphone check.
- If you have multiple audio inputs, remove any other devices except your microphone and make sure you've selected your microphone.
- Be careful not to cover your microphone, as this can make it difficult to hear you during the test.
- Pay attention to the placement of your microphone. If it's too close to your mouth, your audio may be loud and scratchy! If it's too far away, the microphone might not pick up your voice.
- Speak loudly and clearly. Look for the microphone icon to check your audio levels.
Testing your microphone
Do a quick test recording to confirm that things are working on your end. Double-check your microphone connections and settings.
- Windows: You can use Microsoft Sound Recorder (Start > Programs > Accessories > Sound Recorder).
- Mac: You can check your input level by going to Apple > System Preferences > Sound > Input.
- Mobile: Create a short video or voice recording on your phone while speaking into your microphone.
