This article reviews and evaluates the topics of an entrance examination created for potential interpreter trainees based on answers from test-takers and trainers. A number of research have examined construct validity in interpretation testing (e.g., Clifford, 2005; Lee, 2008; Eyckmans et al., 2009; Turner et al., 2010), but few have examined the substance of admission exams that decide trainee selection. This article focuses on the psychometric category of authenticity among the methods available for test evaluation, that is, the link between test contents and the elicitation of skill performance during the test are those abilities that were the subject of post-test training.
