Frequently asked questions
What is a good typing speed?
Around 40 words per minute is comfortable for office work, and 60 or more is fast. For exams, check the speed your notice asks.
Should I focus on speed or accuracy?
Accuracy first. Mistakes cost time to fix, and most exams mark errors. Speed rises naturally as you stop looking at the keys.
