"Don't try too hard" is my only tip for your evaluation. Do not guess at what you are hearing in the sound booth. Raise your hand only when you actually hear the sound, and only repeat words/sentences if you actually understand them. I mimicked a lot and this made insurance said I hear too well with my 90 decibels hearing loss in one ear. I have to wait six months to get re-tested so I can go for insurance approval. At least this way I will be eight months post-activation with my other ear (110 decibels loss) and I will have an idea of whether I want to be bilateral right away or wait.
