Is the Catti exam hard? Is it better to study on your own or sign up for a training course?

I am currently a second-year English translator at Guangxi University, and I passed the Level 2 Translation Exam in May last year, and I am still preparing for the Level 2 Interpretation Exam. I think it's better to be self-taught. In school, our courses include basic interpreting, literary translation, and more.

However, the teacher basically did not talk about the content of the translation exam in the class, and the teacher trained us in the basic skills, listening, speaking, reading and writing, because translation is a very practical subject, and it is basically difficult for you to use theoretical knowledge in actual translation (interpretation). However, when practicing translation, it is indeed necessary to read some books that introduce translation skills, such as the translation of long and difficult sentences, and the conversion of parts of speech. You can read Catti's exam book.

Of course, it is definitely necessary to do translation practice every day, and practice makes perfect. You can find English magazine articles to translate, it is best to have Chinese and English versions at the beginning, cover Chinese when translating English, cover English when translating Chinese, and then compare and change after translation. You can also watch English news on Chinadaily.

The Catti exam is quite difficult. If you don't have a good foundation, I suggest you take a training course.

Catti training must be found to be more targeted, like some of the Shanghai middle and high mouth training of those you don't go to Bi to participate, because there is no comparison between the two exams, the catti exam is more difficult.
