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

Before the assessment

Recheck current RID and CASLI instructions and prepare the authorized materials and arrangements.

At check-in

Follow identity, security, technical, and accessibility procedures from the actual provider.

During the assessment

Read the role, source, context, and access facts carefully and distinguish justified action from unsupported assumptions.

After the assessment

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.
