FAQS


HOW DO I INCREASE MY TYPING SPEED?

There are two ways to type faster: The best way to increase typing speed is to
learn to type the correct way. “Touch typing” means you are able to type with
all 10 fingers instead of using a “hunt and peck” method of typing. You can
learn how to touch type with Typing.com’s free typing lessons. The second way
you can learn to type faster is by playing typing games. Keyboard games like
Nitro Type can help you practice your typing speed and increase your words per
minute score.



HOW FAST SHOULD I TYPE?

The ideal typing speeds by age are as follows:

Elementary school (Grades 3–5): 8–15 WPM
Middle school (Grades 6–8): 12–25 WPM
High school (Grades 9–12): 20–35 WPM
College/Adult: 50 WPM



HOW IS TYPING SPEED MEASURED?

Typing speed is measured by the number of words you can type correctly in a set
amount of time. A “word” is equivalent to five keystrokes. During a test, both
speed and accuracy are measured. You will receive a number that indicates your
average words per minute (WPM) and a percentage that indicates your accuracy.
When you complete a 1-minute, 3-minute, or 5-minute timed typing test, you will
be able to print out a certificate.



WHY IS IT IMPORTANT TO TAKE A TYPING SPEED TEST?

Taking a typing speed test establishes your average typing speed (WPM) and
accuracy, which is an important baseline to know so you can increase speed and
improve accuracy with practice. Periodically taking typing speed tests can help
you track your progress and measure improvement. You even can use your WPM score
from the typing test on your resume to highlight your administrative skills!
