Additional Information
- You are not allowed to use a CD player with recording or duplicating capabilities.

Insert fresh batteries the day before the test. You may bring additional batteries and a backup player to the test center. Test center staff will not have batteries, CD players, or earphones for your use. - You may not share a CD player with another test-taker.
- If the volume on your CD player disturbs other test-takers, the test center supervisor may ask you to lower the volume or move to another seat.
- If your CD player malfunctions:
- Raise your hand and tell the test supervisor.
- Use backup equipment and continue to test. If you do not have any, you may request that your score on the listening test be canceled. Notify the room supervisor and obtain a Request to Cancel Scores Form. Scores for other Subject Tests you take that day will not be canceled. Learn More.
- If you are given a defective CD on test day, raise your hand and ask the supervisor for a replacement.
