Like Reba said, there's only one performance test. Everyone takes the same test. First you pass the written part, and yes it's hard. It should be taken very seriously.

Then there is a performance part. Again, everyone takes the same test. Some people who are good interpreters get the NIC Certified score. Some people who are VERY good interpreters get the NIC Advanced score. And the best interpreters, the absolute best of the best, get NIC Master. It's like getting a grade...you all take the same test, but some people get higher scores than others. NOT everyone passes though.

Both parts of the test are very difficult and many people are nervous about taking them even if they have been in an ITP full time for 2 years or more.
