What is the RMR Exam?
A. The RMR Exam consists of a 100-question Written Knowledge Test (WKT) that focuses on four areas of knowledge–reporting (47%), transcript production (41%), administration (6%), and professional issues and continuing education (6%). You must score a minimum of 70% to pass the WKT. To earn your RMR, you’ll also have to pass three sections of a skills test that evaluates you in three areas–Literary at 200 wpm, Jury Charge at 240 wpm, and Testimony/Q&A at 260 wpm. After dictation, you have 75 minutes to transcribe your notes from each leg. You must have 95% accuracy on each leg to pass. You do not have to pass all sections of the exam at one sitting. As long as you maintain your NCRA membership, you will retain credit for the sections passed. There is no time limit for earning the RMR.
