Something new for the sports journalists. At 60wpm.

For those of you who may be taking a 60 wpm examination later this month, you will need to get ahead of the game - either by practising at a higher speed or by taking down a more challenging 60wpm passage. Well, this one is a challenge for you. There are numerous words that fall outside of the top 3,000 common words - 12 of them in fact. Treat this as an opportunity to practise thinking quickly to get something down, or omitting the word and carrying on, remembering that every word has the same value. So if you omit "overwhelming" you incur one error, just the same as if you transcribe "I" instead of "we"!!!! Once you have transcribed, look at the word "heightened" in the first sentence of Part 2. You will see that I have written an "I" vowel alongside the outline, otherwise it would be the same outline as "hidden". Whilst "hidden" would not make good sense, this proves you need to keep your wits about you, and because you probably won't have time to think about, or write that "I" indicator, you need to read back through your notes after every transcription and ask yourself - does this make sense? Good luck. Don't get worried, don't get stressed, Let's Love Teeline Together.

Two mocks in one. 180 words. 60 wpm for three minutes and then 90 wpm for two minutes.
