Pitman Shorthand Exercise No. 119

Total Words=

It is often felt that a speed of 80 words a minute in shorthand is adequate for ordinary business purposes.

However, some employers require a higher degree of skill, and they will not employ a stenographer who cannot write 120 words a minute.

When you leave school, with a certificate which states that you have passed a test dictated at perhaps 80 words a minute, you must remember that you are not fully equipped to meet every demand of the business world, and you should endeavour to improve your skill and your knowledge.

If you wish to secure a position which pays a good salary, you should acquire a speed of at least a hundred words a minute on all types of dictation.
