The study used descriptive method to gather information using questionnaire checklist.

More practice and speed test in writing and transcribing shorthand should be given to be able to master the writing shorthand. A writing contest across campuses to be held more often to motivate students to strengthen their writing skills. The Shorthand instructors should be stricter in teaching shorthand.
