Don’t be discouraged! The key to increasing your touch typing speed is practice! If practiced consistently on a daily basis, your typing skills are bound to improve dramatically in a matter of weeks.

I suggest setting a goal for yourself. For reference, the average typist can type 41 WPM; typing at or above 57 WPM is deemed above average. It is important to note that a high WPM with low accuracy is not a desirable goal; the amount of time needed to correct typing errors should be taken into account when testing a true WPM. An average typist should be maintaining an accuracy rate around 92%, about 8 mistakes per 100 words.

Keep at it!
