80 wpm

By cat30wpm - updated: 5 years, 8 months ago - 9 messages

Hello! I made a post one time, talking about that I had 90-100 wpm regularly and I had 129 wpm once, and now I have a problem, I have bad accuracy, around of 80-85 and cant reach more than 100 I have around 80% accuracy and before i had around 92% or better.

Can someone give me tips about getting more wpm or something?

Don't type to fast in the beginning, don't look at the keyboard when typing and keep at a steady speed until you can work up. That's all I can say I went from 35 wpm to 60 wpm.

That's actually the problem, if u read the post (all the post) it says that I went from 90-100 wpm, max 129 to 80-85 and I can't get the wpm that I used to have and I don't have to look at the keyboard (I have a PC since I was 6 y/o (I'm 13)

Hello, I average 110 wpm and max 153 wpm. I find that I differ a lot on how I type depending on the mood I am on. When I am nice and relaxed, I can spit out 120+ wpm consistently. But when I feel rushed and anxious about typing faster, I end up averaging a bit over 100 wpm. When I start doing bad I just stop typing and try later.

I don't know if this is the problem you are having, but consider trying to relax and not caring as much.

Do you have a mechanical keyboard? Asking for a friend.

I wish I knew, haha, I've been plateaued at 80wpm for a long time. My two different practice methods are now, 1) type slowly at a consistent cadence with no errors, (at about %70 of max speed), and 2) type some really easy sentences (e.g. "this is that and that is this and .... ) at max speed to train my finger speed, as I can type this kind of easy sentence at over %150 my average speed.

The keyboard you use can be a factor too.

cat30wpm, I've had problems with being too fast and not accurate enough. The way got better was using the Instant Death Test. It was miserable! I wouldn't get a single flipping 100% without going as slow as a snail, but soon my brain would focus on getting faster. And both my accuracy and speed increased. Then I hoped on normal testing and I got a relatively short test, maybe 2 sentences long. And I did it at 100 WPM with 100 accuracy!!!!!!!!!! That's super fast for me with an average 72 WPM.

tldr: USE INSTANT DEATH TEST!
