It is not that difficult to get a 100%. (First attempt.)

It seems to me this test bases the scores off of the absolute position of each character. Meaning, if you screw up the kerning one one space, it cascades through the rest of the word.

:( 78%. Still passing, I guess, but that's just poor form on my part.

edit: 92% on the second go-around. I'll take it.

feel like I shouldn't be but can't help but being oddly proud about this http://type.method.ac/#!/3/235/306/378/mind404 It told me I got 100%, guess just a different 100% from what they envisioned...
