Speed

What is going to help me increase my speed from 100 to 125ish. I know that some people think that 100 wpm is good enough but for me.

All you have to do is keep practicing that's what i do i go on this website every day and just sit here and type until my fingers hurt and i'm getting better and better sometimes its frustrating but it makes you better

Have you tried typing more

I practice a lot but the problem is I broke almost most of my fingers so whenever I do something that involves moving and using my fingers a lot they feel outta place. Thanks for the tip though!

Yes, I type and I type until I can't anymore.

If you can't practice (for whatever reason), you won't get better. There isn't some "magical technique" that makes translating thoughts into finger movements faster.

Also, your account suggests that you're a lot less than 100 WPM. Practice makes perfect.

I'm in the same boat; trying to get to that elusive 125. The "sudden death" typing test mode is working wonders for me, since I typically lose speed correcting mistakes. Give it a try, see what you think.

Take care,
Stephen

My account says I have less because I practice in quotes instead of doing the normal typing test and it doesn't save the scores from when I train on a quote.

I got from ~80 WPM to 125 WPM by learning to program... if you're masochistic enough, you should give it a try ;-)
