Measuring Shorthand Skill by Three- and Five-Minute Dictations

Prigge, Lila L.

Business Education Forum, 28, 5, 39-40, Feb 74

Results of a study comparing three- to five-minute dictations indicate that as the length of dictation increased, accuracy achievement decreased. Suggestions are: (1) one-minute dictation tests be used as speed-building (but not testing) devices, and (2) evaluations include occasional five-minute tests as well as three-minute tests. (SC)
