ETOE: Reading Comprehension

MasterWord Institute is launching a season of preparatory courses for you to ace the ETOE exam. Each episode of this season corresponds to one section of the exam.

Each episode contains an explanation of the exam section, activities to practice the exam section followed by self-assessment activies to help you better your answers, and details on what to expect on exam day.
The exam is divided into seven sections. The Reading Comprehension section is section 6 of the exam and it contains one text item only.

CCHI has offered an independent, national, comprehensive certification program to medical interpreters of all languages since 2009. One of them is the CoreCHI-Performance Certification, a certification for interpreters of all languages. It includes two exams: the knowledge CoreCHI exam and the performance English-to-English, or ETOE, exam. All CoreCHI certificants qualify to take the ETOE exam and earn the CoreCHI-P certification. As of 2023, transitioning to the CoreCHI-P certification is voluntary. Starting in 2025, this transition will become mandatory, and the CoreCHI certificants will have to earn the CoreCHI-P certification within 1-2 years.
The ETOE exam is time-limited and is 60 minutes long. It is a medical interpreter monolingual performance exam and consists of seven sections that assess various interpreting cognitive skills.
