After attaching her steno notes, a CRR candidate notices that 'I did not authorize the transfer' translated as 'I did authorize the transfer.' Her notes contain 'not,' but the realtime text does not. Two minutes remain for uploading the transcript. What should she submit?
Correct answer: C - The unedited realtime output in both the transcript file and pasted text.
Every time an attorney says 'statute' in a practice recording, the realtime text reads 'statue.' The reporter suspects either a poorly executed outline or a dictionary problem. Which finding resolves that distinction?
Correct answer: A - At each error, the notes show the correct outline, but 'statue' is its active definition.
The practice master reads: Q. Was the loading door open? A. Yes, it was. The realtime transcript reads: Q. Was the loading door open? Q. Yes, it was. The words and punctuation are otherwise identical. Under NCRA's CRR grading rules, how is the second speaker designation treated?
Correct answer: D - One error for duplicating Q where A belongs.
In a 1,000-word CRR practice take, a reviewer confirms 31 word errors and six independently chargeable missing commas. The reviewer also flags four uses of 'percent' rather than '%' and two correct money amounts expressed with 'dollars' rather than a dollar sign. There are no other defects or automatic-failure conditions. Which accuracy assessment applies under NCRA's rules?
Correct answer: B - 96.3%; the take meets the CRR accuracy requirement.
An attorney's Q paragraph ends in a period. In which instance is that punctuation correct?
Correct answer: B - Q. Tell me who inspected the damaged door.
During a practice exchange, the question is, 'How many dollars did the repair cost?' The witness answers, 'Two hundred eighty-six dollars.' The realtime answer is 'A. 286.00.' A reviewer accepts it because the question already identifies the currency. What did the reviewer overlook?
Correct answer: C - The amount still needs a dollar sign or the word dollars.
Choose the correctly punctuated realtime rendering of this testimony: 'We met in Albany New York on June 14 2024 before the inspection.'
Correct answer: A - We met in Albany, New York, on June 14, 2024, before the inspection.
Two practice takes each receive a 97.3% word-accuracy calculation. In Take 1, the 27 omissions are isolated words. In Take 2, they occur in separate runs of 12 and 15 consecutive words. Every other element is correct. When the CRR passing rules are applied, the outcomes are:
Correct answer: A - Take 1 meets the standard; Take 2 triggers automatic failure.
An all-uppercase practice transcript includes 'THE WHEEL CAME OFF THE {HUB}.' The recording says, 'The wheel came off the hub.' The braces mark an untranslated stroke, but the letters form the correct English word. For CRR grading, the displayed '{HUB}' is:
Correct answer: D - Acceptable under the correct-English-word exception.
A practice master has 'I carried the box and she held the door.' The realtime text has 'I carried the box. She held the door.' A reviewer marks the missing 'and,' the new period, and the capital 'S' as separate defects. Which correction should be made to that grading?
Correct answer: C - Keep only the omitted-word charge.
