translation for a while
and then back-translate
it for comparison with
the source text. This
will reveal not only
meaning shifts, but also
ambiguities you may have
unintentionally introduced
in your translation.
y Ask Around: If you have
colleagues who have passed
the exam, ask them for tips
about how they prepared.
y Join a Study Group: In
some language pairs, ATA
members have formed
study groups in which
individuals critique each
other's work and lend
mutual support. Candidates
who have participated in
these collaborative efforts
tend to perform better on
the exam. If no such group
exists for your language
pair, consider starting one.2
y Attend Conference
Sessions: Each year at
ATA's Annual Conference,
sessions are offered on
preparing for the exam
in some specific language
pairs. Occasionally these
sessions are offered
at chapter gatherings
as well. If a session is
offered in your pair, this
is a great way to get an
inside look at the exam
and hone your skills.
y View Webinars: Can't
make it to the conference?
Check out webinars
focusing not only on the
certification exam itself,
but also on improving
your translation
performance in general.
y Leverage the Website:
ATA's website has a
wealth of information3
