Sensei's Tips to Type Faster & More Accurately
Improving your typing speed is a marathon, not a sprint. Incorporate these fundamental techniques into your practice to see a significant boost in your WPM and accuracy.
- Accuracy Over Speed, Always
- The fastest typists are the most accurate. Forcing speed leads to errors, which requires backspacing—the biggest killer of Net WPM. Slow down, focus on hitting the right keys, and speed will build naturally on a solid foundation.
- Master the Home Row Position
- Your fingers should always return to the 'ASDF' and 'JKL;' keys. This 'touch typing' technique builds muscle memory, allowing you to type without looking at the keyboard, which is essential for descriptive tests where you're reading a passage.
- Ergonomics and Posture Matter
- Sit up straight with your feet flat on the floor. Keep your wrists straight and slightly elevated, not resting on the desk. Proper posture prevents fatigue and injury, allowing for longer, more effective practice sessions.
- Practice Consistently, Not Just Intensely
- Fifteen minutes of focused practice every day is far more effective than a two-hour session once a week. Consistency is the key to building and maintaining the muscle memory required for high-speed typing.
