SLOWLY, BUT (hopefully) SURELY!

Well, my first round of QA at 200 wpm was not bad at all. In fact, I had no dropped words, just a bunch of words that I translated incorrectly or I put a "the" instead of an "a". I got a 92% on the first test I transcribed and still have a test to work on. I'm debating about whether to finish that or not, or just wait for more QA's to where I feel comfortable with the speed. We'll see.

As for my round of JC's on Thursday. I'm convinced that the first three tests were NOT at 180 wpm, but more like 200 or faster. The speaker started off decent and then sped up. There is no way that was 180 wpm. I'm confident in saying that because I could hear the blatant "speed up". It was so obvious from the way she started speaking to shortly thereafter she just took off. I say that because the first three tests were brutal. I got the third one, but I feel like it was very messy. I didn't even look at it, I just feel like it was, so I trashed it. If I thought I had a chance, there's no way I would've trashed it, so I feel confident in doing that.

The last JC I typed up, I was sure, absolutely sure that was a pass. But, no, 94.6%! And again, if only I would've done this or that, it would've been a pass.

So I have next week and two days of finals, in which I can choose to do JC. So basically I have 12 more tests and I only have to get two of them. I want to get the majority of them, but to pass out of the speed, I only need two. Again, my goal is to get the majority of them, so I feel confident knowing that I truly passed out of that speed and not just by luck.

We shall see!
