Hello there! Well first of all I type about 55 wpm. I am aiming to type around the 70-80 wpm mark. Knowing to type fast would be beneficial currently in school and any job opportunities out there. I saw a medical transcriptionist position out on the job market and you have to type at least 70 wpm with 95% accuracy.
It got me thinking and what better way to ask than fellow mac users on macrumors website. How do you essentially get faster at typing? People have told me before to isolate the keys that give me the most trouble and practice more on those certain keys. But how do you know which ones give you the most problems and how long should I practice each day overall?
When I go to typingtest.com. I received a score of 58 wpm and 94% accuracy. That was my last score by the way. I do have Mavis Beacon 17 and Master Key for the mac by the way. Are these programs enough or should I practice with something else either online typing course or a software program? My last question is how did you get faster at typing and how long did you practice? Any help would be appreciated. Thanks
