When are the court reporting exams generally scheduled?

The exams for court reporting are typically scheduled in March and November. This schedule aligns well with the academic calendar, allowing students ample time to prepare for the exams after completing their coursework and practice. Holding the exams twice a year provides flexibility and accessibility for candidates who may need to balance their studies with other commitments, such as internships or employment. March allows candidates to assess their progress early in the year, while November serves as an opportunity for those who may not have passed in the spring or who want to retake the exam after additional preparation.

This timing is structured to support a continuous learning and improvement cycle for court reporting students, allowing them to stay engaged with their training while providing periodic milestones to achieve. Other schedules, such as those in January and July or May and December, do not offer the same level of alignment with typical educational timelines, which can make preparation and participation more challenging for candidates.
