Can I take all sections of the interpreter test at one time?

We do not recommend it for first-time candidates. The majority of candidates will take the test in two phases: simultaneous first and, if they reach a score of 50% or higher, returning at a later date to take the sight and consecutive sections. Here are the exceptions to this general principle (whatever sections are identified will be taken in one trip, not two): A. Candidates taking exams for which there are only sight and simultaneous sections. B. Candidates who have been certified by states [i.e., California (if certified prior to 2011), Massachusetts and New York] or other entities (i.e., NAJIT) for which New Jersey does not grant reciprocity. C. Candidates who have completed a program of study such as a Certificate in Court Interpretation from Hunter College or NYU, and the M.A. in Spanish Translation from Rutgers University, and who therefore show a significantly higher probability of passing the test on the first attempt. D. Candidates who are being retested (i.e., persons retaking whatever sections they need in order to pass or reach a higher level of classification). E. Candidates from distant locations, such as states far away from New Jersey or other countries, and for whom special arrangements have been made to complete the court interpreter approval/ registration process in an expedited manner.
