SonicChao:If you ignored the first warning, why not just ignore the second? Putting more warnings, imo, does not much at all...
Maybe you're right. What I should've suggested is that the warning appear only once, on the exam page, in Eo. Double-duty, as it were...

But hasn't your time started running when you get there? Someone might waste valuable exam time trying to fix their sound.

Not sure that matters--the user could check the sound on the exam page and if it's not OK, could fix it and reload the exam. That might be better than having a problem after spending 30 minutes on the exam and losing it...is the 50 minute time limit enforced by the website or by the honor code?

I think it's enforced by the website.

But I think that someone is just as likely to ignore the message if it appears on the exam page itself, as if it appears on the page before the exam page. In red, no less.

Well, if it's in red...I guess you're right!
