Sweep up any debris or dirt that might interfere with the test. If there is water-absorbent debris on the concrete floor, it will be difficult to tell if the water has been absorbed by the concrete.
Pour a small amount of water -- a half cup or so -- onto the concrete floor. Let it sit for about 1 minute.
Check the area where you poured the water. If the water remains beaded up on the surface, the concrete has been sealed. If the water gets absorbed and leaves a dark, damp spot, the floor needs to be sealed.
