Typing Speed Test

Have you ever felt like you were on trial whilst you were taking a typing speed test?  It can certainly be quite a pressured situation when the clock is ticking.

If you have spare a thought for the competitors who were recently pitting their typing speed skills against each other at the National Court Reporters Association National Convention.  They had to prove their skills (the best of which are typing as high as 280 WPM) in a court room session being presided over by an actual trial Judge!

And this came from someone with almost 20 years of court reporting experience!
