I'm in the USA, and work in a different language pair. However, I recently received an advice which I think can be used by interpreters anywhere: take as many tests as you can. Whatever test is offered - you take it. More feathers in your crown. More credentials to boast about. More chances to impress potential clients.

So, take both exams. If you hear of a third, fourth or fifth exam that's being offered - take that one, too. And don't get discouraged if you don't pass on the first try. After the first try, you'll have much better idea of what is expected of you, and your preparation will become much focused and efficient.

Hopefully, somebody in your language pair will direct you to some good study materials and/or classes. Good luck to you! ▲ Collapse
