We just finished conducting 600 online Simulate Oral Proficiency
Interviews and play through was not enabled on our headsets.  I actually
think play through mode might be distracting to test takers, as few of us
are comfortable listening to our own recorded voices.  Play through is
preferable for pronunciation activities, but our students had no trouble
taking their SOPIs without it.  Joseph
