You must wait at the line until the beep before proceeding to the next line. As the test continues, the times between the beeps become shorter. You will continue to run from one line to the other line until you cannot keep up. You will be signaled a warning if you fail to reach the line before the next beep to continue. If you fail to touch the line on two consecutive shuttles before the beeps during the allotted time your run is finished.
