Preparation Tips & Tricks to Crack RHC Steno Exam
Friends, getting a high court job is not very hard if your strategy is right. Many students fail in the typing test just because of nervousness. Here are some desi tips from experts to boost your preparation:
- Focus on Accuracy over Speed initially: In the computer typing test, if you type very fast but make too many spelling mistakes, your marks will be deducted heavily. Always practice typing with 100% accuracy first, speed will automatically increase over time.
- Practice on MS Word for Efficiency Test: The efficiency test is all about formatting a document. You should know how to change font size, create tables, apply bold/italic settings, change paragraph spacing, and page borders in MS Word. Practice this daily for 15 minutes.
- Use Kruti Dev 010 Font: For Hindi typing, do not practice on Mangal font. The High Court exclusively uses Kruti Dev 010 keyboard layout. Learn the Alt-key codes for special Hindi letters (like Alt+0161 for 'ँ' Chandrabindu).
- Mock Tests: Regularly check our Result and Mock Test Section to see how previous toppers performed. Doing daily online mock typing tests helps remove hand trembling and exam fear.
- Shorthand Daily Practice: Shorthand cannot be learned in a month. You need to write dictations daily using headphones. Read the newspaper daily to improve your vocabulary so you don't struggle to read your own shorthand strokes.
