At the present time, one can often notice announcements that employees are required to work at a computer in an office or in a bank. If you want to take this vacancy, employers require employees to have experience working with text and a certain typing speed. It happens that you want to get a job, but doubt your keyboard skills. In this article we will tell you how to check your typing speed, how to learn how to write quickly and without errors. If you want, it’s easy to print quickly, but you’ll have to spend a little time.
How to find out the typing speed
To do this, you only need a computer with a keyboard and an ordinary stopwatch. So, let's move on to the first method. On the Internet, there are many sites that offer you to check your typing speed. They provide an opportunity to learn skills not only in Russian, but also in six other languages.
Let us cite the site http://nabiraem.ru/test as an example. Understanding it is not difficult. First install "Flash Player" if you do not already have it. And move on to the test itself. Words appear in the left window, and you write them on the right. The system will determine how many mistakes you made. The advantage of such sites is that you do not need any additional equipment or an assistant.
If for some reason you did not like the online testing, then we can offer you a second, old and proven way. You must choose your own text. For convenience, it is better to print it. Position it to your left, track the time on the stopwatch and start typing. But using this method is better with an assistant who will monitor the time on the stopwatch.
Regulations
