SHORTHAND

 

SCHEME OF EXAMINATION

Two passages will be dictated at 80 words per minute with an interval of 2 minutes. The syllabic intensity of the passages should be 1.35 – 1.40. Each passage will last for 3 minutes. After the last passage, 5 minutes will be allowed for candidates to read through their shorthand notes before the commencement of transcription. All transcription must be done on the typewriter. The use of English and Shorthand Dictionaries is allowed. The examination shall be of 1 hour 13 minutes duration (6 minutes for dictation, 7 minutes for intervals and 1 hour for transcription).

DETAILED SYLLABUS

  1. Business Matters

One of the passages for dictation shall be business in nature e.g. Letters, Memoranda, Reports, and any other related topics.

 
  1. Literary Matters

The other passage shall be literary and within the experience of the candidates. It shall not be technical or controversial.

NOTES ON THE EXAMINATION

  1. Candidates must provide their own typewriters, shorthand notebooks, and other writing materials.

  1. Specially marked typing papers will be supplied by the Council. No typing paper other than those supplied by the Council may be used.
  1. Candidates shall not be allowed to make any carbon copy.
  1. The shorthand readers shall be allowed access to the passages twenty minutes before the dictation commences.

                  A preliminary passage of 2 minutes duration will be dictated before the commencement of the actual examination to enable candidates to become accustomed to the reader’s voice. The preliminary passage must not be transcribed and does not form part of the examination.

  1. The candidate’s shorthand teacher may be appointed to dictate the passages. The invigilator must check the dictation and note errors or deviation from the total time allowed for each passage. A signed certificate of the actual time taken should be returned with the completed scripts.

These should be returned to the Council or an official of the Council where one is available. On no account should the passages be left with either the Invigilator or Supervisor.
