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.

Use basic keyboard shortcuts to navigate faster

When you use shortcuts, your hands are still on the keyboard. But when you use your mouse, your hands go away from the keyboard. Finally, your hand comes back on the keyboard. It consumes and/or wastes your valuable typing time. The less you save the mouse, the more time you save.

We have given a list of basic shortcuts so that you can learn right from here and start using them.

Sl. Platform Shortcuts Descriptions
1. Word File Ctrl + C Copy selected item
2. Word File Ctrl + X Cut selected item
3. Word File Ctrl + V Paste
4. Word File Ctrl + Z Undo
5. Word File Ctrl + S Save current file

Accuracy is more important than speed at the beginning

Some people try to achieve speed first and accuracy last. This is totally the wrong approach. Do not make this mistake. It is perfectly okay to slow down and try to be more accurate. When your accuracy goes up, you will eventually notice that your typing speed has also improved. When someone tries to improve typing speed first, they make a lot of mistakes. As a result, they need to hit the backspace key many times. This process not only wastes their time but also hampers and slows down their typing learning. Always remember that speed comes naturally with time and practice.

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.

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.

Stop looking down your hands

If you look down your hands while typing, you are just wasting your time. Instead, you should look at your computer screen and try to type. If you always look at your personal computer screen and try to type, you may make a lot of mistakes at first but your brain will quickly learn from errors and start memorizing the correct positions of the keys in your keyboard. Your errors will eventually go down and you will be able to type without making any mistakes.

Practice, practice, and practice

How long should you practice typing? You should practice typing as long as you do not achieve professional scores in your typing tests. Do you want to achieve even higher such as 100+ WPM? If so, do not stop. Keep practicing. This is the only way to reach your goals.

Here are some achievement goals/targets for each level of progress:

Beginner level goals: Two goals – (a) just try to build the good habit of using the right fingers to press the right key and (b) make sure that you can easily and correctly press the keys in function row, number row, tab row, home row, bottom row, and space bar row.

Intermediate level goals: Two goals – (a) identify which keys or key combinations are giving you trouble and practice typing more to iron these errors out and (b) make sure you can accurately and comfortably use both hands and all fingers to press the keys.

Advanced level goals: Three goals – (a) build muscle memory so that you can accurately type fast without looking at the keys, (b) achieve a professional score in every typing speed test and (c) develop natural rhythm when you type.

How long should you practice every day? You should practice at least 30 (thirty) minutes or more. Ideal time is – at least one hour or more. Divide your practice in many short periods. Practicing long periods are less useful than practicing many short periods.
