Speed Building Techniques
Lesson 3: Speed Building
Now that you know the keys, let us focus on building speed. The goal for government exams is 30-40 WPM with 95%+ accuracy.
Techniques to Increase Speed
- Daily Practice: Practice 20-30 minutes every day consistently.
- Use All 10 Fingers: Never type with just 2 fingers — use all fingers as assigned.
- Read Ahead: While typing one word, your eyes should be reading the next word.
- Rhythm: Type in a steady rhythm, like drumming. Consistency beats bursting.
- Accuracy First: Do not sacrifice accuracy for speed. Errors slow you down more than slow typing.
Speed Milestones
- Beginner: 10-20 WPM
- Government Exam Standard: 25-35 WPM
- Professional: 40-60 WPM
