Questions candidates ask
Which states' exams does this cover?
Most states that belong to the NCSC Consortium for Language Access in the Courts use the same 135-question written exam. Choose your state during setup; questions specific to another state's courts or sentencing are kept out of your pool. Texas has its own preset today, and more states are being added.
Are these the real exam questions?
No. The practice questions were written for this site to match the exam's sections, difficulty and instruction wording. The official sample questions are the ones the courts themselves have published, and are always free.
Does this cover the oral exam?
Not yet. This is written-exam preparation. The oral exam (sight translation, consecutive and simultaneous interpreting) is a separate test you take after passing the written exam.
Do I need an account?
No. Your progress is saved in your browser on this device. Full access comes with a license key that works on any device; there is no password to remember.
What if Full access isn't for me?
Email us within 14 days of purchase and you get a full refund, no reason needed. Payments are processed by Stripe as merchant of record, so sales tax and receipts are handled for you. See the refund policy.
Is this affiliated with the NCSC or my state's courts?
No. This is an independent study tool, not affiliated with, endorsed by or connected to the National Center for State Courts, any state certification body or any court.
Built by a candidate, for candidates
This site started as one candidate's study tool for the Texas written exam in 2026 — he passed on the first attempt. Every question was written to match what the exam actually asks, then checked against the official candidate overview and the sample items the courts publish. Found a question you disagree with? Every question has a "Report a problem" link, and reports are read.
Take a full timed mock. It shows your readiness score and section-by-section results.
