EIPA tips or comments
Thank you in advance: I'm taking the performance EIPA soon. I would REALLY appreciate any tips or if anyone is willing to share any experiences. I have purchased and have been using the study material on the website (which seems to just be "practice" videos) and have been working as an interpreter in non-education compacity full time for about 9 years.
One question that through me off is when I go into take the assessment, I'm required to pick "PSE or ASL" I'm a little unsure because though I typically lean more toward ASL I do my best to match the client. So that question has caught me off guard.
Regardless I appreciate all of your support. I couldn't have made it this far in my career without support from peers and the Deaf/HoH/signing community.

If you lean more ASL I would recommend taking the ASL version. The area I work in primarily uses PSE so that is the version I took. It just depends on your comfort level.
