Typing Test Tech Tip

I wanted to do a typing test for my tech tip this week because I wanted to see how fast and accurate my typing is. I feel that I type rather quickly without many errors and my test results reflected that. I type 78.2 words per minute and have an accuracy of 98.1%. I would like to type a bit faster, but I think if I did I would surely be less accurate.

I used the key hero.com website to test my typing. I did the test three times and my results were mostly consistent. I chose my best trial numbers to be the ones listed above. I sometimes still look at the keys when I type, so I hope to improve enough that I rarely have to. I notice that I mess up frequently when typing, but usually the autocorrect fixes it for me. The only time I've specifically worked on my typing skills was when I was in high school and one of my teachers had us practice typing in one of our computer classes. Autocorrect makes it harder to improve typing because the computer fixes the mistakes for you. I think typing is important because you use it daily when in school. Most people will use it after school also for a job at one point or another.
