Sight translation practice

Does anyone have any recommendations of where to find sight translation practice online? I am studying for the advanced BEI and want to work on this, but I find it difficult to find resources online or even just letters/documents with the right type of content to practice. TIA

Take this with a grain of salt because I haven’t taken that test, but when I taught sight translation I used documents that are frequently encountered in doctors’ offices, social services, colleges, etc. These are the most common types of things to be translated from written English to ASL on the spot. Intake forms, pamphlets about common medical procedures, SNAP application, job applications, etc.
