“Thanks for all you do, Monette, to continue populating our great profession It’s working!!!” Melanie Humphrey-Sonntag, RDR, CRR, CCP
“I, for one (of a small army, I’m sure), credit Monette’s Court Reporter Reference books with my one-and-done pass of the RDR. SO THOROUGH! Thanks, Monette Benoit!” Tori Pittman, BA, FAPR, RDR, CRI, CVR-CM-M, RCP
As a veteran court reporter who holds multiple certifications, one area of my professional life where I lacked confidence was the area of taking written exams. This year, after studying from Monette’s series of books, I have so far taken two written exams and have walked into both feeling prepared. This level of preparedness has led to a higher level of confidence. In one exam, I completed 60 questions in 20 minutes! In the other exam, I felt so confident in my knowledge that I pushed up the date for which I was scheduled to take the exam and passed it on the first attempt. You will not be disappointed with Monette’s series of books whatsoever! Anthony Frisolone, FAPR, RDR, CRR, CRC, CRI, CSR, Official Court Reporter

The content of your WKT, written material, study material is great; not to mention I also knew how to find many of the distracting answers that I now recognize as my downfall the last time. Of course you can use my words. Heck, I’d give you a kidney — just no fingers. Joshua Foley, RPR, CCP
I studied with the NCRA [National Court Reporters Association] study guide, and it didn’t work. I studied Monette Benoit’s ‘Purple Books’ and passed. Jennifer Billstein-Miller, RPR, CRR, CCR (NJ)

Erica Walker, Court Reporter –
I ordered the Test Prep Set: Complete NCRA, RPR, RDR, and State Written Test Prep Textbook, 6th Edition; NCRA RPR, RDR, and State Written Prep Workbook, 4th Edition; Companion Study Guide, 4th Edition; and Realtime Vocabulary Workbook, 3rd Edition. I’m addicted! I love the Latin, vocabulary, grammar, all the quotes and motivational poems, and all the updated, detailed technology! These books are blowing my mind.
Lara Powell, RPR, CRR –
“Originally, I failed the RPR Written Exam — Twice!! That test was a ‘got-ya’ both times, and I studied both times, and it cost me a lot of money to FAIL that Test TWICE!! I’m a working court reporter in court. I realtime every day — have since day one. That’s where you came in. I purchased the material from Court Reporter Reference Books. Easily – and I mean easily, I passed the RPR, and THAT’s not an EASY test! I’m serious. Use my words; share them, so others do not take that test more than once. The cost of the books is cheaper than the registration to take the test a second or even a THIRD time — LIKE I DID. Your motivation, focus, and concise sharing in the books is proof that had I had the books for the first exam I KNOW I WOULD HAVE PASSED. Now, I’m certified, as the court required when I accepted this position. And I’m also smarter. That test is now behind me… way behind me. I’ve now set my goals higher and bigger! Now, I want tutoring and coaching with you. Thank you, Monette.
Rob Leifer, Student– Passed –
“I purchased Monette Benoit’s ‘Test Prep Set’ from http://www.CRRbooks.com and have been studying a little bit every night to prep for the RPR. It is an incredibly comprehensive and thorough resource!! I’ve been studying a little bit every night, and it’s slowly all sinking in! Excellent job with these books! I feel extremely confident that, as long as I do my part, they will thoroughly prepare me for the RPR!” Rob Leifer, Student– Passed
Suzanne Small Kelly, RDR, RMR, CRR, CBC, CPE, CSR –
Monette Benoit’s materials, http://www.CRRbooks.com and CATapult CD series, are wonderful for dictionary building and test prep, too. They are highly recommended by captioning companies for transitioning reporters and have been a tremendous help to me.
Lisa B. Johnston, RPR, CRR, CCP –
I passed my RMR written exam! They were extremely helpful — it shows how hard you worked. Your books really helped me pass the NCRA RMR written, WKT, so thanks so much!
Florence B. Lefkof, Court Reporting Instructor –
Bravo! Bravo! What else can I say except that you have done a tremendous job. What a job it must have been researching all that material. You must have spent an enormous amount of time putting together the CSR, RPR, RDR Written Knowledge Test Textbook and Workbook. I am sure that the students who use your books to prepare for the WKT, written exam, must sing your praises. I believe that not only are your books helpful for test taking, but they are an invaluable asset to one’s reference library. The poems you included are inspiring, encouraging, entertaining, and brought smiles to my lips. Thank you for the books.
Michael Jenkins, CCR –
Monette, I wanted to say thank you. I passed the NCRA RPR written knowledge exam, WKT, the first time after I ordered your books. They are great. I only wish I would have had them the first time I took it. Everyone I spoke to about you said that you are so proud and enthusiastic about court reporting. It is nice to know there are people like you who are willing to reach out and lend a hand to those who stand in the same position you used to many years ago. Thanks!! You may use my testimonial. Hopefully it will help others.
Megan Price, Student –
I passed the NCRA Written Knowledge Test with a 97! I am so proud and relieved by accomplishing one hurdle in the midst of my patient prodding. Thank you for the NCRA written exam, WKT books, which I found on Court Reporter Reference Books, https://www.crrbooks.com, to prepare students and court reporters for this hurdle. I now know that this that can be achieved the first time with proper studying and knowing how to take a test.
I have to tell others taking the state CSR and NCRA RPR tests. Many people are taking the test for a second time – or more. This was huge. Thank you!
Laura B. Ballard, RPR, CSR –
Much of the information that I studied from Monette Benoit’s material appeared on the NCRA RPR written examination. The success that I had in passing the NCRA RPR Written Knowledge Test, WKT, is due to several factors. One major factor is the use of the study material written and taught by Monette Benoit.
This study material consisted of information derived from years of personal experience and knowledge as a court reporter. This information combined medical and legal terminology, spelling, vocabulary and grammar, as well as reporting procedures.
As a student not knowing what sources to consider, I felt inclined to study this material equally as I did the “WKT Workbook” and academic tests. Monette has a strong desire to help the court reporting students succeed in their field. I believe her study material is a wonderful tool that should be utilized by students and court reporters everywhere as an aid in passing written knowledge tests. Thank you, Monette! You have helped me jump a major hurdle in my career!
Jennifer Sati, RMR, CRR, CBC, Program Advisor, Anoka Technical College –
I’ve been using the ’CRRT’ WKT CD and books for years, and the students love it. Every student that’s completed has passed their written RPR so far. I also tell the students to hang onto it to study for the RMR written test. Jennifer Sati, RMR, CRR, CBC, Program Advisor, Anoka Technical College, 2006
Dr. Richard Lederer, NCRA Language Columnist –
The more words you know, the more accurate will be your speaking, writing, thinking, and reporting. Monette Benoit will inspire you to make vocabulary-building a joyful and lifelong pursuit.
Carol Thomas, Reporter, Instructor, CSR, RPR, CRI, CPE, “MOM” –
You have to picture me with active children — each day. I’m always happy to give a testimonial about your products because they are all good. All my students, from way back, loved the dictation material “Popcorn Q & A” and the books: WKT CSR, RPR, RDR Text, Workbook and Study Guides. Your Handbooks are great! And the Sports ‘CATapult’ CD is fun to work on. Monette Benoit’s ’CATapult’ CDs are my ticket into the broadcast captioning arena. They are a very important part of my practice routine and have helped me immensely. The CD’s are yet another example of Monette’s high quality resources that are available to help us all be better reporters and captioners.
Steven Edmondson, B.S., CSR, CLVS, Birmingham, AL –
This is good stuff, down to earth and on the level that working reporters need. From now on, our court reporters are going to get to know the CSR, RPR, RDR Written Knowledge Test Textbook, Written Exam Workbook, and Realtime Vocabulary Workbook by Monette Benoit better than their childhood teddy bear, dragging them around everywhere and maybe taking them home to bed.
Judy Larson, St. Louis Community College, MO –
“This is to let you know how pleased I was to receive your book that will help students study to pass the WKT, written knowledge test. I use the “Court Reporter Reference” books in the preparatory classes that we offer every semester for our current students as well as working reporters in the area. You have covered all the areas that are on our test. You have saved me hours of work, and I appreciate all your effort. This will greatly enhance our students’ chance of passing the Written Knowledge Test, WKT.”
Joshua Foley, CART Provider, Court Reporter –
“The content of your study material is great; not to mention I also knew how to find many of the distracting answers that I now recognize as my downfall the last time. Of course you can use my words. Heck, I’d give you a kidney — just no fingers.”
Mary Smith Agren, RPR, CRI, Denver, Colorado –
Good fortune is often called a windfall. This stems from medieval England when commoners had trouble finding wood for fuel. Royal decree prohibited them from chopping down trees, so when the wind knocked down branches it was a stroke of good luck.
Your CSR, RPR, RDR Court Reporter Reference Workbook is a windfall for the court reporting profession. The information in an easily-referenced and easily-retained format is a stroke of good luck for working reporters, students and instructors of court reporting. And what a delight to find an instructional textbook that is informative and entertaining!
I support your advice on how to take written knowledge tests in the Court Reporter Reference Text. Your test-taking tips are helpful and will, hopefully, relieve test-taking anxiety attacks. Both are necessary if one is truly interested in becoming certified. I applaud this much-needed contribution to our future!
Nicole Aerial Bresnick, RPR –
I used your materials to prepare for the written part of the RPR and passed, so I know your stuff works!
Nic Rubia, Student –
I used Monette Benoit’s material and passed my first try!
Lisa B. Johnston, RMR, CRR, CCP –
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!
Jane Bramblett, RPR –
Monette, Just wanted to tell you the study material I got was great prep for the wkt. Aced it. After all my hand and arm problems, I’m finally an RPR. Next is CRR! before I can’t write any more.
