Typing Test

Typing Speed

Typing Skills are more Important Than Ever! Today employers use the term “typing skills” but they’re really talking about “keyboarding” skills. While the typewriter and the computer keyboards are closely related, they’re not identical twins. If you’re a pro on the IBM Selectric, but you’re a bit dusty on the PC keyboard, your fingers are going to trip across each other looking for keys which no longer exist or aren’t where they used to be.

 Even though there is a whole generation of computer literate people who have never even seen a typewriter in the wild much less used one, today’s jobs require computer keyboard skills which demand typing speed and accuracy.

Being fast on the keyboard is of no value if what you type is not accurate. Sure, you can be very accurate if you type with two fingers and stare at the keyboard, but you already know that this will cost you speed.

Speed and accuracy can only come from training your fingers to know the exact location of every key on the keyboard. Typing Speed and accuracy suffers when you have to remove your eyes from what you are reading to hunt and peck your way through the next sentence.

Have you ever seen someone who has mastered the keyboard when they are typing a document? It’s like watching a grand pianist playing in concert. Fingers fly and words almost scream across the screen. How do they get this good? Practice. How can you get this good? The same way.

Our typing test will help you increase your typing speed and accuracy. You’ll not only improve your speed, but you’ll receive a report detailing your results. Best of all, you’ll be prepared for the typing test that’s given to most applicants as part of the interview process.
