During the assessment you will hear letters, numbers, and punctuation symbols sent one at a time in random order in cw. For each character, identify it, then speak the character out loud, AS QUICKLY AS YOU CAN. Speak the character name (e.g., “SEE”) not the cw equivalent (“dah-di-dah-dit”) and not the phonetic equivalent (“Charlie”). For punctuation say “period”, “comma”, “slash”, or “question.”
After you have spoken the character name, TAKE YOUR TIME TO FIND THAT CHARACTER ON YOUR KEYBOARD, and type it in.
If you made a mistake in speaking the character, hit the key for the character you SAID, not the correct character. Or, if in doubt just hit the space bar.A short time later the next character will be sent.
