How fast can you type?

Question

I am looking for a good decent free online typing test that not only measures your typing speed and accuracy, but also tells which charactors you tend to fall over on and how often you have fallen over on that charactor, and gives exercises to concentrate on the area of the keyboard that charactor is located in.

Either Online or free to Download will do.

I have a Typing speed of 30 or so, but i am interested in increasing this speed to 40-50.

Answer 1

I just did this yesterday and scored 60wpm

www.typingtest.com
www.learn2type.com/TypingTest
www.typingpal.com/test
www.typingcertification.com/practice.asp

are a few I just did a search on free typing test and came up with a lot of results.

Answer 2

I lost out on getting the best answer because I type 10 to 15 words a minute. Sometimes it feels that is al lI type per hour. :(

I think I will start using voice activation.

Answer 3

You can get books about techniques to faster typing at Barnes and Noble online, alot of it like anything else is practice. I can type 45 words on average with no formal training, I have a job that requires it though so maybe I can get them to pay if I need to move faster.

VERY FAST!

See if you can download CRIMSONLAND. It's a very stupid, but addictive shooting game which has a level where you have to type words to kill the alien who's carrying the specific word. Very cool if you want to have fun while learning to type.

Answer 6

i do alot of typing at work. I can type once on a role at 60-70 words. It took me ages but i had to learn for work. Now i dont look at the keyboard, oh but sometimes i have to read over just incase ive hit another key!
