Lto Non Pro Written Exam Reviewer

[Gamaliel Nation]

Youdon't need to schedule an appointment for a knowledge exam. But, you MUST arrive at the branch at least 30 minutes before it closes to take the computer-based knowledge exam that day.

The written test is based on information contained in the Indiana Driver's Manual. To pass the written test, you must demonstrate a basic understanding of Indiana traffic laws and safe driving techniques. Written tests include multiple choice questions divided into two sections concerning traffic maneuvers and knowledge of types of traffic signs. Eighty percent or higher correct responses on each component must be achieved to pass the exam.

From time to time I receive papers to peer review that, in my view, fail to attain an acceptable level of writing and text formatting. Examples of usual issues are: common erratum, poor use of English, bad formatted equations, inconsistent use of punctuation marks, spacings, citations, references and so on. Bonus track is when the submission has not been processed in LaTeX and it contains poorly written equations (for the record my field is Mathematics). I do not consider myself an expert in any of these points, but I think everybody know how to reach a decent level, of course if you are willing to invest some time on it.

While in certain situations there are interesting scientific contributions to present, it is certainly hard to focus on them with so many styling distractions around. What is worse, sometimes they are hard to decipher because of an inconsistent use of notation or because a misspelling introduces a key change in the meaning of a statement. In my opinion, these are issues that could have been solved by the authors with a careful revision of the manuscript prior to submission.

For the sake of argument, let's assume a paper as described before, with a legitimate scientific contribution and let's keep apart from the question the scientific part of the report. When I face the review of such a paper, I often have the next dilemma: should I point the authors to all the writing/styling/formatting issues? Or should I briefly mention that there are serious non-scientific issues and encourage the authors to fix them? The two opposite arguments supporting each approach are:

On one hand, I feel that is my responsibility as a reviewer to ensure that the paper is going to have the best scientific/presentation quality possible after the reviewing process. And that includes helping as much as I can in both points.

On the other hand, if the authors should have taken care of all the non-scientific issues, I wonder why should I invest so much time pointing towards their improvement. In some sense, I feel they are being a little disrespectful with the reviewers and readers to submit a non-polished manuscript. In addition, maybe this kind of work could be done by the people in charge of the article proofs (assuming that the journal has them and that they do a good job...)

My current approach is to ask for a major revision and reply with a very detailed list of all the non-scientific issues I found, but I wonder whether I am overdoing my referee's duties. In addition, this turns to be also quite time-consuming.

If you cannot understand the discussion, you may just point out that the manuscript is poorly readable and suggest "reject, invite to resubmit". Some journals allow that option. "Major revisions" will work essentially in the same way. I would not do proof-reading for the authors, it is not the reviewer's job.

One approach I have taken in the past is to prepare a referee report listing the non-scientific issues for the first couple of pages. I will say that such errors are found throughout the paper (if indeed they are) and urge them to proofread more carefully throughout before resubmitting.

Sometimes I will also try to find the author's website, and find out whether h/she is employed at an English-speaking university, and/or has teaching duties in English. If no, then I try to be lenient and generous with offering corrections; if yes, then I don't feel bad writing a curt request to bring the paper up to an acceptable level of presentation.

Nobody expects you to find and fix all these issues. (That said, it seems that some editors only want you to check whether the content is correct and interesting, and apparently would rather leave non-scientific issues to the copyeditor.)

After the job analysis was completed (see previous post), a group of subject matter experts met to review the results of the survey, confirm the topic areas developed, and finalize content weighting for the exam.

Thank you to our item reviewerswho joined from across the country to review new questions written for the exam.It was a full two days of discussion in April to ensure all exam questions arewritten clearly and concisely and that all tie back to a reference.

A new exam form has been put together that meets the specifications of the test following the content outline. APSE will be bringing together more reviewers in late May to review the exam form before it will be used to test candidates for the CESP beginning in August 2019.

After the online Ethics and Courts Overview Classes, the English Written Exam is the next step towards achieving the Tier 1 Credential and is generally offered twice a year. Interpreter candidates must have satisfied the requirement for the two online classes in order to be eligible to take the exam.

The test is in English and consists of 135 multiple-choice questions covering general English proficiency, court-related terms and usage, and ethics/professional conduct. A candidate must pass the multiple choice test with a score of 80% correct in order to continue in the credentialing process. Successful completion of the exam, along with the other components of the Tier 1 Credential, is a prerequisite to sitting for the Oral Court Interpreter Exam.

For a full description of the English Written Exam, please see the Overview of the English Written Exam for Candidates - Council of Language Access Coordinators. A summary of information about the exam is provided below.

This exam was developed by the National Center for State Courts, Council of Language Access Coordinators (CLAC). The multiple-choice test measures interpreter candidates' knowledge of three areas central to the work of a court interpreter at the level of a minimally qualified court interpreter:

To function as a professional court interpreter, one indispensable component is a high degree of proficiency in the English language. Accordingly, the exam assumes a high degree of literacy in the English language and familiarity with a range of language constructions. It tests comprehension of written English vocabulary and idioms.

A second area of knowledge essential to successful professional performance is familiarity with the terminology and procedures of the court system. Accordingly, the exam also measures recognition of common court-related situations and vocabulary, especially in the area of criminal courts.

The third area of knowledge required of professional court interpreters encompassed in the test is general knowledge of standards guiding the performance of duties. Accordingly, the exam includes questions aimed at measuring candidates' knowledge of ethical behavior and professional conduct.
