Well, congrats to you...you are just doing wonderfully! I hope I can keep on the same track that you have! I still have another year though! UGH. Oh well, if time keeps going like it has been, it will be here before I know it! Keep me posted on how you are doing with all of those tests. I'm sure you'll pass with flying colors...keep studying and practicing hard, and good luck!!!

Hey Danielle! School is going ok I guess...working on it right now actually, and thought I'd take a quick break from those wonderful Q&A dictations to come write you :) So, how is the "after qualifying" life going? Are you interning? How long were you in school, and how many hours per week did you devote? I hope your summer has been going well! Time is sure flying by, I can't believe it's almost football season! ha ha

Yay for my girl DL!! I know I miss you too! But I am EXTREMELY HAPPY for you!!! I think I need you to help me upload my pix. I have spent so much time trying to figure it out and it won't work for me. :( So until then I guess I'm just a shadow of a man! :( Yay for CCRA convention in VEGAS!!! Meow, meow!! J$

Danielle! It's so awesome to hear from you! Qualifiers aren't as horrible as I feared they would be ha ha. I got my error rate down to 77 last week, so hopefully I'll get one within the next few months. I think it's completely reasonable to aim for that. I'm also trying not to get my hopes up on anything either though *lol*.

I'm so sorry I missed your graduation! I was so bummed I couldn't make it to school that day. What did you think of the test? Have you just been interning since you took the test? I hope I didn't seem unsociable the last few times I've seen you at school, you were just always caught up in conversation with Jess and everyone, I didn't want to interrupt :-D.

Thanks again for writing. It was very thoughtful. It was nice to hear from you! Talk to ya' soon!

Yay! We passed! We are great! One down. Two to go! We can do this!!

Hi Danielle.
Good to hear from you. The tests went pretty well -- I think. I passed the Professional Practice, and I should get the English Exam results this weekend. I have to admit the English was tough. I'm not feeling confident about it, but I guess I just have to be patient and wait it out. : ) Have you been keeping your fingers moving? Give me a call if you want. Do you have my number?

hey!
as far as the RPR, there's a couple things that are helpful...
when in doubt with a proper name, cap it. they dont mark off for things like that if you do and if you don't cap something and it's supposed to be, they will mark it.
for example, I capped "The Armed Forces"
umm also i made the mistake of signing the envelope.. i thought it was a required deal but turns out that's what you sign if you don't want your test graded/you didn't type...im glad i figured that out eventually.
lastly, unlike the CSR, it's only 95% so....dont give up if have a blunder or two. You can still pull it off.
apologies for the late fill-in.

Hi Danielle,
I see you're a student at a CR school. And I know we don't have anything like this in Honolulu. Regardless, I'm making the move to becomming a scopist. But it's a move that is just in its infancy. I think you're going the court reporter route. But could you shoot me a message and let me know a bit about your experience so far...and anything you might know re: scopistry?
Thanks much,
Karyl

um okay. so which part didn't you pass?

idk. if you pass you can't work in California anyways so CSR is better. i would explain it more in depth to you but i don't want to be a friend stealer

between me and candice, 4 legs were typed and 4 legs were passed.
she always copies me. i'm sure you're aware
but point being, i felt good about it but then you start pondering and then that starts to worrying and then doubting and then....yeah. they came back thumbs up tho.
i sohulda passed all 3 legs tho. im thuroughly annoyed.

i thought the results for the written tests were instanteaneous?
you'll find out about all of em soon enough.. err i dunno, i should bite my tongue. i'm probably going to go insane waitin for mine.
but i think you know how you did...the results are just the confirmation.. second guessing yourself is the only way to think you didn't pass when you did. that's how the RPR was

haha, yeah right. probably take them after..im a procrastinator and i know it

q's are good. somtimes easy sometimes not. you knoww..did you take the wits test yet?

heyy
so i heard you felt good about the test...
must be such a relief..im starting to get nervous err..antsy at least.

Yeah, FINALLY i passed it! Congrats to you too. I hear you did great on your CSR! We all knew you would. Thanks for the tip on the depo firm, I seriously need it!! Even court hasn't been able to take me last week or this week. Talk to ya later!
