Your first ten minutes

  1. Take a short typing test at a comfortable pace. Save the speed and accuracy as your starting point.
  2. Practice slowly for a few minutes, paying attention to the keys that interrupt your rhythm.
  3. Repeat the same test settings. Look for steadier accuracy before trying to beat your speed.

A short daily session is easier to repeat than an occasional marathon. Let your own recent results guide your next practice session.

Choose a practice exercise

New to the keyboard? Work through the interactive five-lesson starter course or read the home-row guide, then try an untimed 10-word practice test. For everyday writing, try paragraph practice. If a particular passage or symbol slows you down, use your own practice text.

When you are ready to measure progress, take the one-minute typing test. Keep the language and settings consistent, and use the accuracy guide to plan your next session.
