About the Court Interpreter Exam
Court-interpreter credentialing is not one national certification. Individual states set their own credential names, eligibility rules, fees, schedules, and maintenance requirements; many use examinations developed through the National Center for State Courts, but NCSC does not issue interpreter credentials. The Administrative Office of the U.S. Courts separately administers the Spanish-English Federal Court Interpreter Certification Examination through Prometric.

How do the Court Interpreter vocabulary games work?
There are 4 games built on 20 Court Interpreter terms. In Guess the Term, a clue describes one term and you have six tries to spell it, with green, yellow and gray letters showing how close you are. In Term Match, six terms appear as colored tiles; swap neighbors to line up three or more of the same term, and each match shows what the term means. In Term Pairs, twelve face-down cards hide six pairs of terms; flip two at a time to find each pair, and every pair you find shows what the term means. In Term Search, five terms hide in a grid of letters, reading across, down or diagonally; drag across a term to circle it, and each term you find shows what it means.
Where do the Court Interpreter terms come from?
OpenExamPrep researched each term from the Individual state judiciaries; Administrative Office of the U.S. Courts for FCICE content outline and primary sources, listed under Sources on this page. The game is independent study material, not an official exam resource.
What is the court interpreter certification exam?
There is no single national court-interpreter certification exam. Individual states issue their own credentials and may use NCSC-developed written and oral examinations or another pathway; NCSC does not credential interpreters. The Administrative Office of the U.S. Courts separately administers the Spanish-English FCICE. Check the court system where you intend to work before choosing an exam.
What is the passing score for the court interpreter written exam?
The NCSC model written examination uses an 80% overall passing score. FCICE uses a different rule: at least 75% on each of its English and Spanish written sections in the same administration. A state may adopt or modify a model standard, so its own current program rules control.
