In some exams sound fragments play an important role. Listening to sound fragments in the secure Schoolyear environment is possible.
Best practice is to check whether the sound is turned on (and if not, to turn on the sound) before you enter the secured Schoolyear environment. Then you are sure that the volume will be set correctly during the exam.
For macOS computers you can use the volume keys of your macOS keyboard to increase or lower the volume. Use the instruction below to customize the sound on Windows computers
Step-by-step (Windows)
- Click CTRL + ALT + DEL
- Change the volume by using the keys on your keyboard. No confirmation of the volume going up or down will be visible.
- Click 'Cancel' to return to the test.
