Reduced Guidance
Type accurately with the on-screen keyboard switched off.
Instructions
Turn off the virtual keyboard and the finger guidance in the settings drawer before you begin. If your accuracy collapses, you have been relying on them more than you realised.
Finger position: No visual aids. Trust the muscle memory you have built.
Reduced Guidance
Target: 38 WPM at 94% accuracy
The timer starts on your first keystroke. Press Escape to pause where pausing is allowed. Pasting is disabled.
- abc Correct
- abc Incorrect (wavy underline)
- abc Corrected (dotted underline)
- abc Missed (struck through)
Underlined keys are the home row. Use the opposite hand for Shift where you can. QWERTY layout.
You can practise on a phone or tablet, but a physical keyboard gives a far more accurate WPM measurement. On-screen keyboards add their own delay.

Consistency describes how steady your speed stayed from second to second. A high figure means an even pace; a low figure means bursts and pauses. It is a descriptive measure of this one test, not a scientific or clinical measurement.

Tips for this lesson
- Keep your wrists relaxed and floating rather than resting hard on the desk.
- Return every finger to the home row after each keystroke so your hands never drift.
- Use the opposite hand for Shift wherever you can - it keeps both hands balanced.
- Read one word ahead of the cursor so your hands always know what is coming.
- Aim for the accuracy target first. Speed follows once the movement is reliable.
