The ATA Accreditation Examination: An Introduction for Candidates

If a practice test accompanies this presentation, we hope that you will find the comments and suggestions of the presenter and your colleagues helpful, but you are asked remember that the feedback is not provided by graders in the ATA Accreditation Program, does not necessarily reflect grader guidelines, and is not the equivalent of completing an ATA practice test and receiving feedback from our graders.

Your performance on a practice test given in a workshop should not be considered an indication of how well you will perform on a passage for an actual exam under testing conditions.
