A Must-Have Practice Book for Court Reporting Students and RPR Exam Preparation

800 Most Common Depo Phrases
Book 3 in the Mastering Machine Shorthand Series
Volume II – L-Z (Edition 3)

Universal Practice Material: While suggested briefs are included for convenience, the dictation material, Q&A sections, and 800 phrases are 100% theory-independent and compatible with any machine shorthand method (StenEd, Phoenix, Magnum, RealWrite, RWG, etc.).

The book provides brief suggestions taken from a mixture of theories. A suggested brief may work perfectly for you, or you can use the suggestion and modify it slightly to fit your theory if needed.

Designed specifically to build speed and accuracy, this book focuses on practicing the most frequently heard phrases in real depositions. The carefully selected phrases, clear layout, realistic Q&A material, and brief suggestions provide targeted, detailed, and highly effective practice for beginning students through advanced students.
Unlike general word lists or brief databases, this book provides targeted depo Q&A practice with 800 phrases, brief suggestions, and material for students, test prep, and instructors.

Key Features: Over 45 pages of Q&A practice material. More than 1,350 brief suggestions (including multiple options for different theories). Teachers have regularly used this series for dictation classes and theory instruction. The 800 Depo Phrases are integrated into Q&A sections and cross-referenced with brief suggestions. Volume I covers phrases 1–400 (A–L) with easier Q&A content. Volume II covers phrases 401–800 (L–Z) with more challenging material: quick Q&A, technical topics, expert witness testimony, heavy numbers, and natural conversation-style depositions.
The Book – Why It Works:
Imagine having the “test” material in advance. These 800 Most Common Depo Phrases appear again and again in actual depositions, compiled over years of listening to real proceedings with input from working reporters.

By mastering these 800 phrases, students gain a significant advantage—up to 25–40% of typical Q&A test material consists of these very common expressions. Pair it with 1350 Most Common Words (Book 4 in the series) for an even greater edge.
