Dixon1990 Posted July 24, 2009 Report Share Posted July 24, 2009 I can type alot faster when I'm typing from my head rather than reading something on the screen haha Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Southerrrngirrl Posted July 24, 2009 Report Share Posted July 24, 2009 64WPM 100% accuracy. But thats only because I correct as I type. Guess I would be faster if I didn't correct as I typed.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Caryl Posted July 24, 2009 Report Share Posted July 24, 2009 Net Speed: 39 WPM (words/minute) Accuracy: 95% Gross Speed: 41 WPM (words/minute) Not bad for only using 2 fingers on each hand. I can type faster when I am doing my own words, not copying what is on a screen. I wish I had taken the commercial course at school as I would have learned touch typing (which both my kids can do at great speed!) instead of the professional course. I am finding typing more useful than French! :roll: In my day (before computers were invented) you couldn't choose individual subjects, you chose a block "course" of subjects. At least I was able to pass individual School Certificate (ye olde NCEA) subjects. In Grant's day (even older than mine) you didn't get School Cert unless you passed all 5 subjects. Math, English and Geography were compulsory too! :lol: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alanmin4304 Posted July 24, 2009 Report Share Posted July 24, 2009 I think with School Cert you had to get at least 30% in each of at least 4 subjects and have a total of at least 200 in 4 subjects. I got the useless but compulsory french as well. Typing was for girls in those days as was home economics---them were the days. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jolliolli Posted July 24, 2009 Report Share Posted July 24, 2009 Net Speed: 70 WPM (words/minute) Accuracy: 94% Gross Speed: 74 WPM (words/minute) the laptop keyboard is kind of crap to type on though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Adrienne Posted July 24, 2009 Report Share Posted July 24, 2009 49 96% 51 for me. I really need to bring my glasses home from work to do better! Its not my typing its the fact that I can't read what I am typing :roll: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
enzoom1 Posted July 24, 2009 Report Share Posted July 24, 2009 Net Speed: 43 WPM Accuracy: 100% Gross Speed: 43 WPM Thats pretty good for me Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phantom Posted July 24, 2009 Report Share Posted July 24, 2009 Net Speed: 68 WPM (words/minute) Accuracy: 98% Gross Speed: 69 WPM (words/minute) Interesting to see the trade off between speed and accuracy though. Tried it again to do it without correcting anything but I just couldn't stop myself from automatically hitting the backspace Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Caryl Posted July 24, 2009 Report Share Posted July 24, 2009 That was my problem too Phantom. Plus, arthritis in the fingers means they don't work as fast as my brain so I often get letters reversed like ew instead of we. Er instead of Re is another one I do often because my left hand is worse than my right Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jude Posted July 24, 2009 Report Share Posted July 24, 2009 My results varied according to which test I chose but I scored the best in Aesop's fables Net Speed: 53 WPM (words/minute) Accuracy: 91% Gross Speed: 58 WPM (words/minute) Lowest one was Net speed 43WPM Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phantom Posted July 25, 2009 Report Share Posted July 25, 2009 hehe I just tried out all the different ones. Actually do get quite a range of results depending on the combination of words and how many other characters are used (such as ",'- etc). Best effort was on the test instructions. That one was really easy for me to do for some reason.

lmsmith Posted July 27, 2009 Report Share Posted July 27, 2009 96WPM Accuracy: 95% It was really hard to stop myself correcting. I found the baseball one the easiest, although I really don't care about the American Association of the Joint Committee or whatever it is. I was typing on my laptop in bed, so I'm pretty pleased with that. When I'm typing stuff I know my typing speed is about 120 words per min, which is good, it means I can keep up in lectures!
