That was my natural inclination, without having to think about it. But if you want to get faster, practice is the best way to do it. Good luck! The thing is, I have an computer exam 11 days from now, and I need my WPM to be much faster than it was. Patience and practice are two obvious parameters I need to have, but is there something else I can do to help myself?
Try 10FastFingers. When I started, I averaged at about 45wpm. I owe that to10FastFingers. Good luck on your exam! Consistent practice is your best bet, so try to squeeze in as many hours as you can, and apply the tips from this post. Best of luck on your test! Is that weird? Hi George, thanks for your comment!
However, it might be worth it to try different styles that might be more efficient and practice them too: You might be slower at first, but typing with more fingers will ultimately help you. Even though the website is quite old and outdated, I still highly recommend it to anyone who wants to learn touch typing!
It was very interactive and fun when I returned to it at the age of 22! Just check out Typingclub. At first i thought i was fast, but seeing my friends achieve times faster, calls for more work. I think this will inspire others to keep trying. Hii every one…i just started my touch typing after couple of years break. At the start i was typing 10wpm and know after 10 days my speed is 22wpm..
Know i am stuck there…what should i do to improve my typing speed? Today I hit n instead of m lesser times then I did yesterday. I think the world record needs to be updated.
There are plenty of people on nitrotype. Now since I learned touch typing I can legit type wpm on average. I think touch typing is totally worth it in the long run as long as you practice.
My new goal is to average wpm soon. It has a lot more sentences to type, making it faster to learn and has better accuracy for figuring out WPM.
Actually in nitrotype. Hello, I live in Turkey and I am preparing for exams keyboard. We have to write over 90 words in 3 minutes and I am writing now, but my goal is and above. What would you suggest me? Hi Ahsen, so you would need to type around words per minute. Hi Shakir, if you consistently practice, you should be able to easily reach your goal. It can take time though, so be patient!
I learned how to type the correct way many years ago. My issue has been that my speed has decreased due to pain in my hands from the repetitive motion in typing. Doc says I have a bit of arthritis in my hands. Any suggestions for this? Hi Elizabeth, I think there are special gloves and other tools you can use to support your hands while typing, especially for those suffering from arthritis.
One quick note. I lost about 30 wpm while just learning to touch type a few months ago. Sorry if my text is too all over the place, was rushing to go somewhere but thought I needed to give my thoughts on this.
Thanks for sharing your experience, Micky! Thank you for sharing! You make an important point. At first it will feel slower, but with practice, using the right methods will certainly pay off. My typing speed is around 25 WPM and not improved yet. Regards Shaun. Hi Shaun. All in all, this has taken me almost a year whereas I am guessing that you have not done very much to practice. This is fine if you are happy with the speed you are typing at now but if you want to get faster you are going to have to put a lot more time into learning and getting faster.
Regards Shay. Hello, this article is pretty accurate, just a few months ago I add an average of Now after practicing a few months here and then, I got my average more to , with top speeds of Practice does make progress.
Hi Angela, yeah especially if his keyboard is really sensitive he should do whatever works best for him and feels most comfortable. Might be a glitch or bug, looking forward to having it fixed soon. Try 10 fast fingers. It is way better than you think. When I initially left a comment I seem to have clicked on the -Notify me when new comments are added- checkbox and now whenever a comment is added I recieve 4 emails with the same comment.
There has to be a means you are able to remove me from that service? Many thanks! This is not good because I am constantly having to adjust my pinky, ring, middle finger back to home row after typing x.
I am able to keep my index finger on f. I think that you should just practice writing x with your ring finger, because moving your middle finger that far down to hit x would slow you down.
For me personally, it seems more efficient than trying with my left ring finger. Hello I needed help. And then when I see what my speed it is its like because I feel like getting more things right just makes my fingers automatically wanna go faster.
So, I got 30wpm using my method and 15wmp using the proper method. I do not look at the keyboard to type. I assume it is because this is how I have been typing for 29 years of my life. I can type up to 85wpm on a good day, and my average is My recommendation is to, like the article said, practice.
Using all your fingers is a must. I often rest my right pinky finger on the shift or enter button, because I use those buttons a lot. My index fingers usually rest near D and K rather than F and J. My advice to you is practice often, and use all your fingers regardless of whether or not you rest over the usual home row keys.
Hi Adar, thanks for your comment! As Samantha and the article both suggest, regular practice is key. Before correcting the way I type, the highest typing speed I got was 55wpm on a good day. Right now, the highest was In order to reach good results with proper techniques, the first stage of slowing down your speed is inevitable as you still need time to develop proper muscle memory of the keyboard. So if you would like to improve your typing speed, the only way is to be patient, practice often, develop that muscle memory and make progress.
I can type at 50wpm with my index fingers. But with the proper method, I could only type at 23wpm. I also need help. Thanks for your comment, and sorry about that! If you try the test again and the same issue occurs, please send a screenshot of the issue to [email protected]. There may be a bug that needs to be fixed.
Actually, reading the blog and then concentrating on not making mistakes and keeping my eye on the screen. I have been 30 wpm for 30 years since I did a month training 30mins a day in my office job then.
So I guess I need to spend 30 minutes a day for another month and see what a difference that will make. Actually, you only technically use nine fingers to type, because you use your thumbs to press space, and your dominant hand is usually the one that presses space.
Good point Justin! If my left hand is far to the left hitting tab or shift, I will hit space with my right thumb, and if my right hand is off hitting apostrophes of something, I use my left thumb.

Puncuation is counted as part of the word that precedes it.
