I spoke to an NCRA representative today to get some advice on what to study for the upcoming examination. She told me that a new study guide was slated to come out this year, although she wasn’t certain of the exact date, as it has not been announced yet. She also directed me to a part of the website that lists the following materials as references for the written knowledge part of the test:

When I first did a post on the requirements of the RPR test (on 6/19/12), (Click Here), the written knowledge test was comprised of 105-110 questions that was based on the following four categories and percentages:
Reporting (48%)
Transcript production (44%)
Operating practices (4%)
Professional issues and continuing education (4%)

As of today, the NCRA website states that the written knowledge test is comprised of the following three categories and percentages:
Technology (22%)
Reporting practices (62%)
Professional practices (16%)

I hope that with the changes there is an updated study guide. If anyone has any information about an updated study guide, please let me know. Thanks.

The RPR is a certification test given by the National Court Reporting Association.

The written knowledge test is graded on a scaled score, with a passing rate of 70%. This test has a completion time of 90 minutes.

The skills portion of the RPR is based on three testing areas which must each be passed with 95% accuracy with an allotted transcription time of 75 minutes for each category. The categories are as follows:
