Speed
▶Keep your eyes on the fact, not your fingers. Trust muscle memory.
▶Use all ten fingers. Reaching for keys with one hand slows you down significantly.
▶Keep your wrists slightly elevated above the desk to allow free finger movement.
▶Read two or three words ahead of where you are typing to keep momentum going.
Accuracy
▶Slow down on punctuation and capital letters those are where most mistakes happen.
▶It is faster to type slowly and correctly than to type fast and have to backspace constantly.
▶Focus on rhythm, not speed. A steady pace beats frantic bursts followed by corrections.
▶If you keep mistyping the same letter, consciously slow down just for that keystroke.
Posture & Setup
▶Sit up straight with your feet flat on the floor. Slouching tightens your shoulders and slows your hands.
▶Position your keyboard so your elbows are at roughly a 90 degree angle.
▶Home row is your anchor. Your fingers should always return to A, S, D, F and J, K, L after each keystroke.
Practice
▶Start on Easy until you hit 50 wpm consistently, then move up. Rushing levels builds bad habits.
▶Use Retry on facts you struggled with. Repeating a hard sentence trains your fingers on problem patterns.
▶Even 10 minutes of daily practice beats one hour once a week. Consistency is everything.
