Answer key: Typing Speed worksheet

  1. 1. Net speed: 215.7 WPM

    1. Divide words by minutes to get your raw (gross) speed

      1,3006=216.6667
    2. Take off one word per minute for each error left in, to get your net speed

      216.6667−66=215.6667
    3. Accuracy: divide the correct words by all words typed, to see how much was right

      1,300−61,300=99.54%
    4. Keystrokes per hour: scale the per-minute rate up by 60, the figure data-entry jobs often ask for

      6,5006×60=65,000
    5. Net words per minute

      215.6667 WPM
  2. 2. Net speed: 48.5 WPM

    1. Turn characters into standard words, because a typing "word" is 5 keystrokes

      1,0005=200
    2. Divide words by minutes to get your raw (gross) speed

      2004=50
    3. Take off one word per minute for each error left in, to get your net speed

      50−64=48.5
    4. Accuracy: divide the correct characters by all characters typed, to see how much was right

      1,000−61,000=99.4%
    5. Keystrokes per hour: scale the per-minute rate up by 60, the figure data-entry jobs often ask for
