Typing Test Tech Tip

I used two different typing tests, both the recommended one and TypingTest.com. My results were pretty similar for both, although I did slightly improve on the second time around -- which can probably be attributed to the fact that I had practiced once before and I knew what to expect this time around. My stats were: 1. KeyHero: WPM = 53.01 Accuracy = 89.63% 2. TypingTest: WPM = 66 Accuracy = 100% We did Type to Learn in elementary school, but I never worked that hard at it. I kind of do a modified "hunt and peck" approach, but I use a keyboard enough that I have a good idea of where my next key is. I'd probably be quicker if I learned the fundamentals and proper form, but it just never seemed like it would be worth it. I'm pleased (enough) with where my typing is for schoolwork -- it doesn't feel like my improper form holds me back. One thing I disliked about the tests was that they used the same passage for every time you take the test. T
