tips for court certified interpreter exam?

Question

I have been working as an interpreter for quite some time and will be taking a court-certified interpreter exam.(USA - CA) ......Anyone out there take that recently? Any tips on what/how/where to study? Any "schools" to prep you for the exam?

Thanks.

Answer 1

No tips as such Bedra on the what/how/where - but good luck in the exam - what a great career.

I work in the District Court system in New South Wales and often listen to Interpreters interpreting for witnesses and accuseds. I have often thought `If I was ten years younger I would definitely do that'. Here interpreters are well paid - never, never out of work.

The only sad thing - I don't often get to listen to Spanish interpreters. I'm wondering is that because there is very little crime here in the "Spanish or Latino" communities? I guess the stats would tell.

Bienvenida al SpanishDict foro, Bedra.

¡Buena suerte en tu examen!
