How the Spanish Exams Work

The content, format and exam plan are the same as the English exams. While reading a question in Spanish, you can click a button on the right side of the screen to see the English version.

Using a Translator for Other Exams

• Request a Translator Form by emailing your name, application number and phone number to exams@cslb.ca.gov, or call (800) 321-2752, option 4.
• Mail the completed form to CSLB, PO Box 26000, Sacramento CA 95826. Review takes about four to six weeks.
• The translator reads the exam to you. They cannot bring dictionaries or explain terms, and conversations are monitored by PSI.
• Your translator needs valid identification, and cannot translate again for one year.
• Once approved, PSI contacts you to schedule.
