Exam CC english - spanish

[jpena]

Hi, how are you? I took all the pre-exams in English, but the in-person exam will be in Spanish. My question is, will the questions change much?

I say this because of an interpretation issue.

@jpena   I wish that my Spanish was at a higher level to answer that way.  I know that is going perhaps to be a very hard question to answer unless someone has taken both versions of the exam.  I did see that there were some discussions on LinkedIn on experiences with different languages offered.  It was nothing official though.  What little could find was this:  isc2.org/landing/1mcc/spanish  It does not really address your question.  There was also this which will probably be your best resource:  community.isc2.org/t5/CC-Study-Group/CC-Exam-Now-Available-in-Spanish/td-p/70807  There were a couple other posts on Spanish if use the search in the community but didn't see anything that would help with what you asked.  There were others that spoke Spanish though; perhaps they have experience with the exam.  Buena suerte.

From what I have previously seen on this community, all exams use the exact same questions, regardless of language.  When a non-English language is selected, the questions/answers are "word for word" translated to eliminate translator bias.  And, the test taker does have access to the original English question.

@denbesten Thank you. I had not picked up on that. I know have participated in exam development workshops but were all in English. So that would make sense. The odd thing that learned this year was talking to a person from Quebec. Of course ISC2 does not offer the exam in French. Apparently Quebec has some kind of mandate, and only French exams are allowed within Quebec. They were going to have to travel quite a ways to take the exam in English. Never a dull moment. I try to stay on top of things for what I do to support our workforce. These last few months since the upgrade have been quite a challenge.
