I miei stessi dubbi May 24, 2007

Ciao,

anch'io tempo fa mi sono posta le tue stesse domande...

Alla fine, l'esame non l'ho più sostenuto, ma in compenso ho conosciuto tanti colleghi simpaticissimi.

Be prepared. May 27, 2007

I have done two DipTransIoL exams (on two successive days), and was successful in all six papers. So I probably have more relevant experience than most.

You should be well prepared. The pass rate is low. The first suggestion I would make is to get some past papers and try your hand at them.

Depending on how difficult/easy you find them, you might need to enrol in a course. There are several courses available in distance mode, but I am not so sure which institutions offer them for your combination.

Basically, you do a three-hour general translation paper, and then two two-hour “semi-specialised” papers. So that’s seven hours in one day. It wasn’t enough for me, and so I went back and did it all again in another language pair the next day. I don’t recommend that, though.
