EPTIt is bothering me so much that I can't get 70. I probably got 67- 69 twelve times by now.

78 WPM here (85-7) for errors. It's not that great, but there are two things to consider. 1. I never learned how to type properly, despite owning one of those games that's supposed to teach you how. I'm a touch typist. I use my index fingers to type, and my ring finger to hit the shift key for caps. I guess I've gotten to a pretty decent speed because I've been doing it so long. I'm on my old laptop. I had to send in my new one for repairs, so I'm on this old one. It's a little larger, and has those old-fashioned beys (mechanical?), while my new one has nice little chiclet ones (or whatever they're called). My damn shift key is a little off.  | ||

You might be slowing yourself down by taking time to finish a word before acknowledging the next. I perform better on the tests when I read a word, begin to type, and then read the next word while typing the current. This leads itself to a more free flowing feel. That or even reading an entire sentence then reciting it as your own words. I scored a range of 65-100 taking all the different test types. Errors ranging from 0-5. | ||

What tronix said is key. Learning to read slightly ahead of your typing will definitely boost your speed. | ||

134 WPM - 9 Errors. I was able to consistantly hit 130-132 a year or so ago, but I've done less typing and more making roaches since I've started playing SC2 and graduated from High School and started college. Although I gotta tell you, when I took my writing I and writing II class, and I"d wait to do a 7 page paper the day it's due, I'm sure my WPM was way way up there, lol. EDIT - Will update with proof as soon as I feel like doing it again EDITEDIT - Here's Proof. Wanted to hit 130, oh well. ![[image loading]](http://s7.postimage.org/a7snd2g97/WPM.jpg) EDITEDITEDIT - Link to full size for the naysayers (OH ITS TO BLURRY YOUR A LIAR - Get over it D<) http://postimage.org/image/6tmn0b005/full/ | ||

furthermore english has less "weird" letters, so its harder to type in languages where you have öäü or éà and stuff like that. | ||

200APM if I'm practicing regularly, as low as 120APM if I'm rusty. | ||

Why do people keep complaining about the punctuation? It's part of typing. The test isn't to see how fast you can txt lk dis 2 ur frndz. >.> Nice score, btw. Quite good. | ||

Yeah, I think it's a little off too. I have a friend who's a secretary and types at something like 130 and complains that she thinks she's too slow compared to other people. I on the other hand type at a comfortable 70 words per minute. Go me! | ||
