How to speed up from 60WPM to 100WPM?

Iimam07·5 years ago

My average typing speed is around 55 to 60 WPM. I want to improve that to 100 WPM. My biggest weakness is I do a lot of mistakes while typing. Could you share your strategy/suggestions/tips to improve from this point? Thank you very much.

Not 100wpm guy, but practice is what they'll say.. I am also on journey!

Practice enough to where you dont have to look down at the keyboard. Hiting 160 wasnt easy, but i found that to be the easiest way to do so. Looking down at the keyboard decreases your WPM, so try giving that a try! Good luck on your journey by the way!

Dave32 did you really just play only 2100+ games. You must have played much more than that on other websites. How many matches did you play overall?

Don't focus on speed, focus on being accurate and getting your muscle memory down. Then speed will come naturally. You'll notice it, accumulatively.

You could try using you pinky for the spacebar...easy 100+

I would not recommend this. Always use the thumb for the spacebar.

I like how you are hiding your secret to typing fast...hehe

I don't really have a secret lol. I don't know if any secret to typing this fast exists. Much of my finger dexterity comes from playing piano and I've just been using the PC for a very long time.

Yeah.. I know that lmao...Practice is the only way!! I was just trying to pull your leg...When you replied, that you wouldn't recommend using your pinky for the spacebar, it seemed as if you were getting defensive about the fact that you type fast just cuz you do use your pinky instead of the thumb- which I portrayed it as your tiny secret to typing fast..(my stupid humor). Well, imam07..just stick to practicing the way you are comfortable with. Good luck!

If you don't have a solid touch-typing form yet, I recommend checking out <https://www.typing.com> and finishing the beginner and intermediate courses. It will really ingrain the keys into your muscle memory.

I do touch typing and don't have to look down at the keyboard while typing. But It happens that I type wrong character sequence while typing. How much practice would help to improve do you think?

once you get proper muscle memory it will be easy! Quick question how many fingers do you type with

10 Fingers

One strategy I like is selecting hard quotes and intentionally typing slower than you are able to, to be more precise and produce fewer mistakes as a result. Also the longer text helps you type more consistent for longer periods from my experience.
