@emdoggy7 - at that rate of improvement, by the time you reach middle school, you’ll likely be more proficient at typing than most of your teachers 😅 Regards, Alex (The Reimagined Classroom Teacher) ---

Okay I was just wondering if you were new or old to the program because you seem really good. ---

The average wpm is 5wpm x Grade# So since your 12 years old, you should be in 7th grade. So plug that in and it’s 5(wpm) x 7(th grade), or 5 x 7 = 35wpm _Your average should be 35 wpm._ (Keep at it and you’ll get it! Just practice and it’ll come more naturally.) Now hattiebyrne on the other hand, they’re about 3.43 times the average for their age! ---

I’m about 12-13 and I type like 120-180 WPM on QWERTY with about 98% to 99% Accuracy even though English isn’t my main language. I’ve never practiced, just games lol. ---

No clue. My first game ever was one of those online flash games like ages ago on those old laptops. I still remember the game, it was that like one where you went through glass and stuff with a Car or Bike, can’t exactly remember. ---

Nice 👍 Btw, have you tried Nitro Type yet? It’s a the best typing race game I’ve found yet. Who knows, if you try it, you might eventually race me(RedEagle404). You’ll probably win though. ---

Greetings from Lahore, Pakistan It quite is an atrocious speed for your age. I am currently eleven-years-old at the moment and type at 137wpm, and i’d like to give you some advice- don’t give up! Keep on going, you’re doing a great job! ---
