Oral performance examinations are tests designed to determine whether candidates possess the minimum levels of language knowledge and interpreting skills required to perform competently during court proceedings. The test measures language knowledge and fluency in both languages and the ability to successfully render meaning from target to source language in each of the three modes of interpreting that are required of court interpreters. The entire exam consists of four parts: 1. Sight translation of a document written in English interpreted orally into the non-English language 2. Sight translation of a document written in the non-English language interpreted into oral English 3. Consecutive interpreting from English into the non-English language and from the non-English language into English 4. Simultaneous interpreting from English into the non-English language
