CDI exam-day guide
CDI · Prepare for the day ahead.
Your checklist
Verify the current pathway
Check RID certification requirements and the relevant CASLI components or transition arrangements for your situation.
Read official candidate instructions
Confirm scheduling, identity, permitted materials, language presentation, technical arrangements, and accommodations.
Distinguish conceptual and performance preparation
Use text practice for reasoning while continuing direct language and modality-specific practice with qualified feedback.
Review assignment assessment
Identify actual languages, access needs, setting demands, consumer preferences, and competence limits.
Review meaning and repair
Track reference, polarity, conditions, certainty, attribution, and transparent clarification.
Review ethics and boundaries
Consider confidentiality, consent, law, conflicts, accurate representation, and scope without relying on isolated slogans.
Review DeafBlind and team planning
Avoid universal methods and coordinate roles, access, feeds, pacing, and corrections.
Prepare practical access and logistics
Confirm the actual provider’s location or technical process, required documents, and approved arrangements.
Plan the day
Recheck current RID and CASLI instructions and prepare the authorized materials and arrangements.
Follow identity, security, technical, and accessibility procedures from the actual provider.
Read the role, source, context, and access facts carefully and distinguish justified action from unsupported assumptions.
Use official results and next-step channels without disclosing or reconstructing protected content.
Rules to check
Current RID and CASLI requirements and assessment-provider instructions take precedence over this independent bank.
Use only permitted materials and devices and follow the applicable integrity rules.
Do not copy, photograph, disclose, or reconstruct secure examination content.
A text-practice score is not a credential, an authorization for clinical or legal advice, or proof of signed or tactile performance competence.
