  1. A professor sends slides and a reading list two days before a lecture. What is the best use of these materials for a CART provider?

    Answer: Build job-specific dictionary entries for technical terms and names before the session

    Advance prep lets the provider define unusual terms and names so they translate correctly in realtime.

  2. During a class, a CART provider hears a word they cannot identify. What is the best realtime practice?

    Answer: Write it phonetically or flag it and research it at a break

    A phonetic rendering or flag keeps the consumer informed without disrupting the class, and the term can be researched later.

  3. A consumer asks the CART provider to share their opinion of a classmate's comment during a break. What is the most professional response?

    Answer: Politely decline and stay neutral

    CART providers stay impartial and do not insert personal opinions into the communication setting.

  4. Which type of information should a CART provider include in brackets or parentheses on the realtime display?

    Answer: Relevant non-speech sounds such as [laughter] or [fire alarm]

    Relevant environmental sounds give the consumer equal access to the auditory information hearing participants receive.

  5. Two speakers talk at the same time in a meeting. What is the best captioning practice?

    Answer: Caption the most relevant speaker and note that there is crosstalk

    Indicating crosstalk tells the consumer that overlapping speech happened while the provider keeps as much meaningful content as possible.

  6. A school asks for a copy of a student's CART transcript without the student's knowledge. What should the provider do first?

    Answer: Follow the agreed confidentiality and distribution policy, which usually requires the consumer's consent

    Transcript distribution should follow established agreements and respect the consumer's privacy.

  7. Why should CART providers arrive early for an onsite assignment?

    Answer: To set up equipment, test the display and connections, and confirm the consumer's seating and viewing needs

    Arriving early allows technical checks and logistics to be handled before the session begins.
