What Is a Good Typing Speed? Setting a Personal Goal
Determine personal goals based on actual tasks, accuracy and test conditions, and do not regard online averages as a unified standard.
First ask where the target comes from
Exams, recruitment or courses may have clear rules, so you should look at the formal requirements first; for daily office work, it is more suitable to see whether accurate texts can be completed within a reasonable time. Numbers in different languages and scoring methods cannot be directly replaced, and there is no "qualified word speed" that is suitable for all purposes.
Use current performance to establish starting point
Complete the new text a few times in the same language, mode, and duration to see average performance rather than maximum performance. Then observe the most time-consuming aspects of real tasks: finding keys, reading, word selection, or proofreading. Goals should respond to these questions rather than copying what others have demonstrated.
is written as a verifiable target
"Type faster in the future" is difficult to implement. It can be changed to "Reduce pauses at the end of sentences in new articles of the same type next week and maintain accuracy." If you really need a speed value, write down the language, duration, materials and rules at the same time to avoid constantly picking easier questions just to meet the standards.
Today’s practice and inspection
Write down a practical use and a baseline under the same conditions, and then set a small goal. After practicing, check to see if the task runs more smoothly and if errors are reduced. After reaching the goal, expand the scope of materials. There is no need to regard a peak as a stable level forever, and there is no need to completely deny it because of occasional low scores.
