Who will be able to see my results of the interpreter exam? Are my results made public?
The test results are not a matter of public record for persons who fail at a level below conditionally approved. The only groups to whom information regarding examinees who fail at that level will be provided are: a) authorized court employees; b) anyone to whom the examinee requests the LSS to give the results (and the examinee must make a written request for this service); c) staff to the National Center of State Courts (as they manage a centralized database for all examinees of member jurisdictions); d) court interpreter certification program managers in other jurisdictions; and e) owners of interpreting agencies with which an examinee is affiliated or is seeking to becomeaffiliated. Anyone else who contacts the LSS to find out if a certain individual has taken the test will be told “Yes” only for those persons who have passed it or scored at the level of conditionally approved. If the examinee has otherwise failed, the answer will be something like this: “We have no record that anyone by that name has reached a qualifying level.”
