Current through Register Vol. 49, No. 23, December 2, 2024
Section 5 CSR 100-200.060 - Written TestPURPOSE: This amendment makes several administrative changes for increased clarity and uniformity in the areas of testing and increases the speed of test result notification by changing from notification via letter to notification in writing.
(1) The form, content, method of administration, passing standards, and method of scheduling of written tests in the Missouri Interpreters Certification System (MICS) shall be determined by the Board for Certification of Interpreters (BCI).
(2) MICS written tests for groups of applicants shall be offered offsite throughout the state of Missouri as often as feasible. In addition, the MICS written test may normally be taken by individual applicants at the office of the Missouri Commission for the Deaf and Hard of Hearing (MCDHH) on any weekday if it is scheduled with the coordinator at least three (3) days in advance.(3) All applicants will, upon request, be informed of approved offsite locations for taking the MICS written test.(4) The written test fee must be received at the MCDHH office prior to applicants being allowed to take the written test.(5) All applicants failing to appear for a scheduled written test without reasonable prior notice, except in emergencies, will forfeit both their application and their application fee. When reasonable prior notice is given, or failure to appear is due to an emergency, the applicant will be allowed to reschedule their written test for some future time.(6) All applicants will be notified of their test results in writing.(7) All applicants must have a passing score as defined by the Texas Board for Examination of Interpreters (BEI) on the written test in order to qualify for taking the performance test.(8) Any applicant unable to obtain a passing score on the written test cannot retest for six (6) months from the date of their last written test. Any applicant may reapply to take the written test by submitting a new application form along with the appropriate application fee.
