  • Practice Knowledge Test

    This section contains a link to the online NAATI testing platform, allowing you to practice using the system on which you will complete the knowledge test component of the CSLI test. 

    This practice knowledge test provides a sample of the question types and knowledge tested in the CSLI Knowledge Test. It DOES NOT reflect the full length of the test. The test you will sit is made up of 60 questions.

    Practice tests are provided for your own preparation. You will not receive any results or feedback from NAATI.


  • Interpreting Test Resources

    This section contains resources designed to assist you in preparing for the interpreting test component of the Certified Specialist Legal Interpreter test.

  • Practice Interpreting Test (Spoken Languages)

    This section contains a link to the online NAATI testing platform, allowing you to practice using the system on which you will complete the interpreting test component of the CSLI test (spoken languages).

    The practice interpreting test includes the following tasks, of comparable complexity and length as a standard NAATI CSLI test (spoken languages): 

    • Task B - Consecutive Interpreting – English and LOTE Dialogic Extracts Task
    • Task C- Consecutive Interpreting – English into LOTE Monologue Task
    • Task D - Consecutive Interpreting – LOTE into English Monologue Task T
    • Task E - Simultaneous interpreting – English into LOTE Monolingual Exchange Task

    (Note: In the practice test, the English and LOTE/ LOTE into English tasks are in Mandarin. If your test is in a different LOTE, you can refer to the English glosses for the content of the tasks. Practice tests for other LOTEs will be gradually added to this module.)

    You should record yourself on a separate device (e.g. phone or audio recorder) to watch/listen back later and reflect on your performance with reference to the marking rubrics.
     
    Before sitting the test, it is important that you go through the whole practice test. If you experience any technical issues playing the practice material audios on your computer, check and see if you have met the equipment and system requirements under ‘What you will need’ in the candidate information. You need to use Google Chrome browser to access the test materials.

    Practice tests are provided for your own preparation. You will not receive any results or feedback from NAATI.
