3 Hacks to Get Higer WPM
In a job interview, the interviewer may request you to take a typing test (or a wpm test) to evaluate your WPM (words per minute). Getting high WPM is far more important than people expected. There are many online tutorials teaching one how to improve typing speed step by step, but what if you don’t have enough time to practice? How could you score a high WPM immediately?
1. Skip the difficult words
In a typing test article, there are easy and difficult words. The more number of letters a word include, the more chances you make mistake, vise versa. Therefore, if you found a word that seems difficult to you, skip it, jump to the next word. Your WPM may drop after skipping the word, but you get more time back, which could be saved to focus on other easy words.
2. Be careful of spacings
Please be careful of the spacings in the article. Many people get a typo because of missing a spacing from the article. Always be concentrated on the spacing and do not miss any of them.
3. Do not look back the typo you got
Many people love to look back the typo they got and correct them back in order to get a higher accuracy. It will highly drop your WPM because it breaks your typing rhythm and wastes your time on a single mistake. The time you spent on moving your cursor back could be used for typing 1-3 new words already. So please forget those typo and be concentrated on the new words.
