Are these available digitally? I’m totally blind and would like to start studying.

Monette, I just wanted to write to thank you and to tell other court reporters taking the WKT tests how wonderful this set of Purple Books is! I scheduled my National Court Reporters Association RDR test and, of course, didn’t have much time to study. Studying for the RDR is very difficult to do on your own. I mean, where do you start? You are tested on such a broad base of subjects or categories. In a hopeful search for reference books to study, I ran across Purple Books. I only had 8 days to study before my scheduled test date.

Thanks to you and the content of these books, I passed on the first try (just as you claimed was possible)!!

As others have said, you cover every test topic in these books.

I immersed myself in your books in those 8 days and at first felt overwhelmed, but then I came to look forward to my study time every day. I learned so much more than I previously knew about Latin words, legal terms, and computer technology. And while I felt fairly confident in my vocabulary, grammar, and medical terminology, you provided deeper study and a check of what I knew or thought I knew.

Note to others: Grammar preferences have evolved and changed over the years, just in case you didn’t know. You need to be current to pass your tests!

Your books provide the information, a study guide to reinforce the knowledge, and explanations to help understand the information learned. It became addictive!

You also impart knowledge that helped my brain think in test mode. That was invaluable!

I actually felt calm and confident during the test.

I feared running out of time and not being able to answer 120 questions within the timeframe given. I finished with 25 minutes left to review everything!

But my reason for writing is to tell others that if they are wondering whether these books really do help, THEY DO. Monette’s “Done in One” claim is valid!

I don’t know of anywhere else that you can get all of this information in one place. It is truly worth it!

Monette, thank you for all of the hours you spent writing these Purple Books! I remain in awe of you.

With sincerest gratitude, Debbie Krotz, RDR, CRR, CSR-IL.

In reply to Tiffany Allen.

*** Absolutely! The books were originally created for the Texas CSR and the RPR (in that order).
We have had much success with TX CSR candidates for many, many, many years. The ‘Purple Books’ prepare students and reporters for NCRA’s RPR, RDR, and State CSRs.

Warmly,

Hi. I am very anxious for the NCRA WKT CD Tutorial to be released. It would also be wonderful if there were an NCRA WKT CD for the CBC and CCP test. Thank you very much.

Just wanted to thank you for your study guides. I passed my RMR written exam! They were extremely helpful. Take care and thanks for the books – it shows how hard you worked. Your books really helped me pass the written, so thanks so much!

I have greatly appreciated the opportunity to fully review your fine book which is aimed at assisting students to pass the written knowledge test given in conjunction with the NCRA RPR and CSR state tests.

We have ordered this book for use in our CSR prep course, which is given four times each year, for I feel it will be a great benefit to them. The format makes it readily workable, and the content is good.

I have frequently stated that although students must have good speed and accuracy in machine writing, the knowledge factor is most important in an adequate court reporter. Enough has not been done along this line of student development; and your book certainly will contribute greatly to producing a well-rounded graduate.

I wish you much success in the distribution, which has so much of merit I recommend it.
