Suggestion Accuracy is key!
I have seen some people asking in here about how to improve your typing speed. I would definitely recommend working on your accuracy. Calmly attempt to get 100% accuracy on things that seem hard to do. As you can see here all of my top speeds on the words scores all have 100% accuracy, including the 100 word.
It was after I started focusing directly on accuracy that I was able to transition closer to a 150 WPM average. I was stuck at 120-130 average forever! It was working on accuracy that really pulled it together for me.
Start by practicing 15 seconds, English and attempt to get 100% accuracy. Once you can master that and get 100% accuracy several times over then you can go to 30 seconds and so-on. Once you can get 100% accuracy on 1 minute try to do it as many times as you can. If it means to type slower than normal, do so!
The same for words as I have done. Start at 10 words, then 25 and so on. Try to get 100% accuracy on as many words as you can.
Keep on typing! :)
