Surely, there are many typing speed test apps found online. I have used some of them. Some are good and some are not better than average.  I used my typing learning experience to develop this typing speed test app. This app is easy to use and quite straightforward.

Learn how to type and also how to type faster - tips to improve your typing speed and achieve better typing test scores

Hello dear friend! How fast can you type? Did you ever wonder how fast I type? We have answered this question. While most people can type 40 words per minute, experts can type 80+ words per minute. In the following guide, we shall show you how to learn typing online. You will also learn how to type faster.

Many users of this website have achieved 100+ WPM (words per minute) scores in typing test WPM. Do you know how this is possible in typing tests? Although there are several reasons behind such high scores in typing tests, there are two main reasons – (a) muscle memory and (b) practice, practice, and practice.

Muscle memory can be defined as “when you do the same task over and over again, your body and brain learn to perform this task without conscious effort”. The more you practice, the better muscle memory is achieved. At this stage, your fingers know where the keys are positioned in the keyword. So, you do not need to look at the keyboard to type anything.

If you follow the typing training tips and techniques below, you can achieve 100+ typing test WPM without looking at the screen of your device such as a computer. A good typing speed will help you years after years by saving time, gaining higher productivity, ensuring efficiency, and many more.

Set a typing goal

Suppose your current typing speed is 20 words per minute and accuracy is 60%. You can set a goal for today such as 25 words per minute and 70% accuracy. When you achieve these goals, set higher goals. Do not stop until you achieve 80 words per minute and 95+% accuracy.

Use a mechanical keyboard

What are mechanical keyboards? These are classic-looking sturdy keyboards. In these keyboards, underneath each keycap, there is a high-quality plastic key switch. Why do you need one of these keyboards? These keyboards help you to type at a 60+ word per minute speed. You can use one such keyboard with your laptop too. Another reason for using it is - these keyboards can give a more satisfying typing experience. Rubber keyboards are unable to give the same experience. Using a rubber keyboard can result in a less responsive typing experience. Do not choose a keyboard only because it is beautiful. Instead, choose a keyboard that you are comfortable with.

Yes, seriously. When you achieve 60 or more WPM and want to keep improve, buy a mechanical keyboard. These keyboards are ideal for typing even faster. But there are two things to remember. First, you do not need this keyboard if you are a beginner. Try this only after you achieve 60 ore more WPM as we said earler. Second, it will take some time to get used to this type of keyboard.

Pass all of our typing lessons

Do you know we have 144 free typing lessons? The good thing is - these tests indicate which finger you should use to type each letter or number. You can use the finger indicating images or ignore them when you are able to type without any additional help. These correct finger indicator images are given at the bottom of each test.

Participate in typing contests

Do you lack motivation to practice typing? How about participating in a typing competition? There are several online typing competitions. You should participate in one or more of these competitions. You will be able to see your position immediately. Then you can try to do better than other competitors.

Monitor your progress from time to time

Online typing tests let you see your score just after the test. This is how you can monitor your progress. What if you are not using online resources to learn and practice typing? Our suggestion is - you should take an online test and check your score once a day. Checking your progress from time to time will motivate you to improve your accuracy and speed.

Keep your fingers curved

When you keep fingers curved, you can avoid stretching the fingers to reach keys. Curved fingers help you to be a more productive typist. When your fingers are curved, it is easier and more comfortable to reach the top row, home row and bottom row of your keyboard.

How about trying an online typing test 5 minutes?

Do not always try an online 1 minute typing test. There are other words per minute typing tests for 10 fast fingers such as online 2 minute typing test, online 3 minute typing test, online 5 minute typing test and online 10 minute typing test. If you take all these tests, you can check how you perform in longer tests. You may be doing good when you are typing for a minute but making mistakes when typing for a longer time.

Trouble with typing some specific letters?

Most people can easily type some letters while facing trouble typing some other letters. Type your problem letters as many times you need to until it becomes easy to type those letters. You should be able to type every letter with the same level of comfort.

Stretch whenever you feel stiffness or pain

When your posture is incorrect or you are typing for a long time, you may feel stiffness or pain. In such a case, you should take a break and do some stretching exercises until you do not feel the stiffness and/or pain anymore. There are many stretching videos on YouTube.com. Learn some exercises from there.

Do not look at the keys when you type and practice typing test

The fact is - looking at the keyboard actually slows a typist down. So, you should memorize the position of each key. When you start practicing, you may make mistakes. But it is OK. No one became an expert typist without making mistakes.

Just remember that the more you practice, the better your fingers will automatically be able to find the right key and press it without your conscious effort. This way your muscle memory will grow.

But if you look at the keys and type, this will delay your learning. In fact, this is the incorrect way of learning typing. So, try to avoid this from day one.

Another important suggestion here is - to improve your typing speed and reduce stress on your hands, position your fingers close to the base position of your keyboard.

Do you want to take a challenge and force yourself to learn the key positions? Okay! Buy a Das Keyboard Ultimate because it is a blank keyboard. It will be useless even if you look at the keyboard. Does this sound challenging and interesting?

Play some typing test games

Plain and simple typing lesions can be boring. You may find it hard to concentrate if you are learning using typing learning tests. A better way is to play the free typing games. In some of these games, you will find options for adjusting difficulty level such as easy, medium, hard and insane. You can also select the top row, home row and bottom row of your keyboard. These typing practice games can make your learning more interesting and engaging.There are many keyboard games. Are you looking for a fast typing game? You can play a typing car race game. We have noticed some typing games racing on several websites. If you like this idea, find a typing game online and start playing it.

You need productive workspace

Your workspace must have these three features - (a) clean (b) properly ventilated and (c) comfortable. There should not be too bright or too dim light. Did you notice that it is hard to type in a dark or low light environment? Do not put your laptop and/or keyboard on your lap. Use a computer table instead. Use a chair that helps you to sit straight back. Your chair must be comfortable.
