Thanks, Alexis! You know, it took me years to realize how valuable high-speed practice is, but it did so much for me, that I love to share it with others, and especially to hear that it's working for you.

You wouldn't believe the resistance I get from skeptics in the schools. lol

Way to go, Erica!!! I'm very happy for you! Keep it up! One day you'll be an RMR.

Kim,

Congrats on the passing the machine test so beautifully!

I'm very sorry about being one over on the written. Do they allow you to pass in "legs"? So that now you just have to retake the written?

I don't know if this will help anyone, but if I was taking a court reporting written exam, I'd bone up on my medical terms and legal/latin terms.

Tami,

I don't have a right-side "talk" or "ask." Any ideas?

Mark

Mark, thank you for the yes, I did video! I have been a member for about three months now and I absolutely love! Thank you so much.

Thanks! They're arranging for me to go over the test. I've got to find a debatable question. It stinks nailing the machine and missing the written by one.

I can't say enough about how Mark's instructional videos helped me to pass that test. He gave me all the pointers to remember, like get a stroke for everything. I was certain I wasn't going to be able to read my notes, and they were almost perfect! I never had so many thoughts going through my mind as I did when I was taking that test, but the one thought in the forefront of my mind was "Get a stroke for everything." As a matter of fact, that thought went through my mind at least 150 times -- haha!

Mark,

It's amazing listening to your videos. After listening to your ludicrously fast speed dictation and then when you slow it down, 225 sounds like 140ish and 280 sounds like 225ish to me. Now, my notes were not very pretty, but I did get something for EVERY stroke. What a great feeling that was. Thank you.

Tami and Kathryn,

It's so nice to see that there are other fellow screamers out there! I have the hardest time containing my excitement. Then I get the goofiest grin -- big as the state of TEXAS -- and my kids just kind of slink away like they don't know me! ; 0 You should see me at their sports events and during NFL season! WOOO-HOOO!!!!

Kim, You Rock on that machine and I think we should all petition for you to have that one error thrown out!!! ;)

Tami, you'll KNOW when Trevor passes his qualifier (he's sooo close) AND when he passes the CSR, you better get earplugs. I'm sure the boys would be very nervous if both you and I were ever in the same room together!!! I promise to bring cow bells...hahahaha

Loved the "yes, I did" video, Mark!

I recently started using YOEU+A-bank for A. Yes, I did.
So now I have:
NO*I-A-bank: A. No, I didn't and NOI+A-Bank: A. No, I did not
YAOE+A-bank: A. Yes, he did
SYAOE+A-bank: A. Yes, she did
NAO*E+A-bank: A. No, he didn't
NAOE+A-bank: A. No, he did not
SNAO*E+A-bank: A. No, she didn't
SNAOE+A-bank: A. No, she did not

This video also inspired me to work on "did he" (D*E) and "did she" (SD*E), as well as phrases with "go" and "like".

I've shortened my writing a lot and am making heavy adaptations to my StenEd dictionary thanks to you and the many short-writing enthusiasts on these boards

Thanks!
