GETTING PREPARED FOR OUR PROGRAMS

For the Written Exam:

  1. The CMI Candidate Handbook
  2. The monthly one-hour long webinars, with about 30 minutes dedicated to open Q&A. For information on the webinars, please see the webinar announcements on the home page under quick links.
  3. Candidates are encouraged to become familiar with the following content areas:
    • Interpreter Standards of Practice
    • Codes of Ethics 
    • CLAS Standards (the appropriate links are available in the CMI Candidate Handbook).

For the Oral Exam:

  1. The CMI Candidate Handbook
  2. The monthly one-hour long webinars, with about 30 minutes dedicated to open Q&A. For information on the webinars, please see the webinar announcements on the home page under quick links.
  3. In addition, there is a Candidate Preparation Document for the Oral Exam that explains the computer based exam functions at Candidate Test Preparation 2020.
  4. The National Board recently made a practice test in order for candidates to become more familiar and comfortable navigating through our oral exam. The practice test can be helpful to practice the format of the test before taking it. The practice test is only to help candidates with test navigation. It won’t help you to prepare for actual interpreting in a medical context. The role play scenarios on the practice test are not necessarily consistent with the types of role play scenarios on the actual oral exam. Please, be sure to launch the practice test using the Chrome browser.
