Venue • Make sure there are enough computers and workstations for the learners to take the exam. • Check that all learner computers are working correctly , including internet connection. • For listening exams, check that sound is turned on and at a sufficient volume. • For exams that contain audio, learners must use headphones so they can hear the sound clearly as they progress through the exam at their own pace. Ideally , learners should not be able to hear other learners’ audio played through headphones. Before the exam, you may wish to test your devices’ audio using a sound file or using the system check described later in this guide. • Make sure there is a distance of at least 1.25 metres between screens where possible. • Make sure the venue is well ventilated and at a comfortable temperature. • Make sure the exam URL is available if you have not already opened the login page for learners on the individual computers.
