When I've tested mine in the past I open the hatch and sit on the back with my feet on the ground. Then have someone start the car. I will take a second or two but you should feel the rear lifting. You can also measure from the ground to the jack hole plugs in the front and rear. Then load the car and start it and then remeasure the rear and see if it's sitting level with the front.
