During the Test

ON TEST DAY

  • On your test day, you will have access to live chat support from NAATI during your test to assist with any basic technical issues. You can also get help by emailing onlinetesting@naati.com.au
  • Note: You will not receive a link to sit the test until you have completed the system check. Check pre-test instructions.
  • Your test confirmation email will tell you what time you can access the test until. NAATI recommends accessing the test at least 30 minutes before the end of the test session so that they can assist with any technical issues.
  • Before the test starts:
  • Set yourself up in a location free from distractions, background noise and other people. The test location will be checked at the start of the test.
  • Have a glass of water, loose sheets of paper and pen, and your identity document ready.
  • Set up your equipment, using your computer or laptop to do the test and a phone or tablet used as a second camera to record your equipment. This device must be positioned beside you so that NAATI can see you taking notes. See section: ‘Equipment & system requirements’.
  • Turn off any other devices and remove them from the room.
  • Click the test link in your email to begin the test. 
  • Your test will be recorded for assessment and security purposes. This recording will be retained by NAATI for a period of 3 months after the marking of your test is completed. The recording will begin immediately to capture what is happening before and after the test to ensure candidates are complying with the test rules and policies.
  • ProctorExam will perform the pre-test administration and set-up including checking your identity and your surroundings. It may take up to 10-15 minutes to complete the set-up, but this won’t affect your test time.
  • You will need to provide proof of your identity by showing your identity document (valid passport or Australian driver’s licence) to the camera when asked. Read about identity verification of test candidates here.

DURING THE TEST

  • Leaving the test environment during a test session is not allowed. You are not able to pause the test or leave the room until your test is complete due to security requirements.
  • A sample dialogue segment will be available for you to test your microphone and speakers.
  • During the test, you will hear an audio recording of the first person speaking. After each segment has played, a chime will sound, and then you will interpret what they have said back to the other person in the other language.
  • You must begin interpreting within 5 seconds of the chime sound. Long pauses may result in marks being deducted, particularly if it results in the total test recording going for longer than 20 minutes.
  • Your test performance must be less than 20 minutes. That includes the recordings of the dialogue segments and your performance only. Time taken to navigate between dialogues or segments, read instructions, or upload your responses is not counted towards this time. NAATI may stop assessing your test performance when the recording reaches 20 minutes if your test runs for longer than that.
  • Once your test is complete, and you have uploaded all of your responses, you should click ‘Finish Exam’ to stop the recording. The test session will end.
