Practice tests for sight translation, consecutive and simultaneous with real courtroom audio. Record your rendition, see every scoring unit you dropped, and drill it before exam day.
The consortium oral exam is scored on units: specific names, numbers, legal terms, idioms and register items embedded in the passage. Most court interpreter exam prep gives you a recording and a script. It does not tell you which units you dropped or why, so the second attempt repeats the first. New Jersey's published averages for Spanish candidates show where the damage is.
Consecutive, simultaneous and sight translation with real courtroom material, every scoring unit checked, every miss turned into a flashcard, every session building tomorrow's docket.
The grading shown is the app's actual output for the rendition you hear. Courtroom audio is AI-voiced from scripts written and reviewed by certified interpreters.
The plan is built from your weak categories: numbers, slang, register, legal terms. Twenty to thirty minutes, three sections in rotation.
Consecutive practice pauses per segment with the two-repetition rule. Simultaneous practice runs continuous at 100 to 130 wpm with a speed dial. Sight translation practice gives you the scan time and the clock.
Your recording is transcribed and matched against rater-accepted renditions for each unit. Credited, check this, or missed, with playback of what you said.
Every dropped unit lands in a spaced-repetition deck. Warm up on them tomorrow, then hit the next passage.
Answer keys are anchored to official state court interpreter glossaries. When Washington, Connecticut, Wisconsin and Alabama agree on a rendition, it is treated as rater-safe. Where they differ, you see the variants.

The oral performance exam used by state court interpreter certification programs on the NCSC consortium model: sight translation, consecutive and simultaneous, scored on units with a 70% cut per section. Content pacing follows the 120 wpm standard.
A practice test you can take every day. Each session is a timed passage in one of the three sections, recorded and graded like the exam. There are no lectures. Pair it with a course if you want technique and ethics coaching, or use it on its own if you already know the format and need graded reps.
Yes for now. Spanish-English is the only language pair, which is also the pair roughly three quarters of candidates test in.
Your recording is transcribed and fuzzy-matched against accepted renditions, with an AI adjudicator reading the whole transcript for anything uncertain. Uncertain calls are flagged for your judgment rather than counted against you, and you can overrule the grader with one tap.
Everything. Seven days of unlimited graded sessions, the glossary and the flashcards. A card is required and you are charged after seven days unless you cancel, which takes one click in Settings.
$19.99 a month, locked in for as long as you stay subscribed. The standard rate will be $39 at public launch. Founding members keep their rate even after that.
