Take A Free Typing Test

Has it been a while since you've taken a typing test? You know the old saying, "If you don't use it you'll lose it." Well that's the case with typing.  If you don't type often you'll lose the speed you acquired when you were typing on a regular basis.  It's a good idea to occasionally take a speed typing test.

Often, when employing someone for data entry, transcription or other jobs requiring keyboard use, an employer will want to know the candidate's typing speed. After all, time is money.  Typing 65 words per minute is a good speed. 70 to 85 words per minute is preferable in the legal and transcription fields.

So, you should know your typing speed.  If you've lost a few words per minute you can easily regain that speed by practicing.  A speed typing test will start you on your way to realizing your typing speed and determining if you just need practice or if training is necessary.

We've found four sources for speed typing tests and improving your typing speed.
