What is the basic sequence when I take the simultaneous section of the interpreter exam only?
The test is highly structured and administered the same way, so far as is humanly possible, to every examinee. The basic structure is as follows: A. The proctor will escort you into the testing room after securing all your belongings in the designated locked closet. B. You will be asked to sign the NCSC Test Candidate Agreement sent to you with your appointment letter for review. C. The proctor will read general test instructions. D. The proctor will read instructions for the simultaneous section of the exam. The proctor will instruct you to put on the headphones, show you how to adjust the volume and then ask if you have any questions. E. The simultaneous portion of the test will be administered (the recording of the test includes an introduction that is about one minute long and the test itself, which is about 7 minutes long). F. The proctor will read information about the test grading process and timetable and then escort you from the testing room so you can leave.
