- B A candidate who fails a written examination due to not usually speaking English or French may be given an oral
- C An examiner may request medical evidence from a practising medical physician before accommodating testing
- D A candidate with insufficient knowledge of English or French may be accompanied by an interpreter
Correct answer: D — A candidate with insufficient knowledge of English or French may be accompanied by an interpreter. From the official ISED question bank, verified word for word.
Why
The statement that a candidate with insufficient knowledge of English or French may be accompanied by an interpreter is the correct choice because regulations strictly forbid using an interpreter during the exam; you must demonstrate your own understanding of the language to prove you can follow safety rules. The full explanation — and one for every question — is in Pro.
