NAATI Para-professional test (5 points)

[fadicheng]

Hi guys,

 

Have anyone done para-professional NAATI test? is it difficult? I've been at their office in Melbourne yesterday and the test sounded not that difficult and worth the investment. Any advice

 

Cheers,

Sorry Fadi I'm not sure, if it's not too much money I would have thought it would be a good investment

hello Fadi,

i have the same question. I need 5 more points to get the 60mark.

I looks that doing the paraprofessional Translator test is manageable and gives 5 points. Unfortunately the test only can be taken in Oz.

Has anybody done this test? Does it need extensive preparation?

any input is appreciated. .

 

thanks, dutchie

It's a very expensive way to get the 5 points. I thought there was exams twice a year in other locations. Which visa are you looking at, could you boost your points by IELTS or state nomination.

Hey guys,

 

I don't recommend you doing this test if you are not a professional translator. I only got 14/100!!!, though they told you can register even if you are not a translator. I have also two friends who got 4/100 and 5/100!! That's English/Arabic test anyway, I'm not sure about other languages.

 

I studied another semester in Australia to achieve the 60 points, and I'm planning to update my EOI next month.

 

Cheers,
