:) It's lucky that i have been to typing class for at least 3 months. I can reach up to 96 words per minute but im sure there are many fast typer in mylot. I found it to be rather funny and awesome too that some people can type faster with only two fingers.. one in each hand.. :P They must have memorized the alphabetical order of the keyboard. So how bout you? How fast can you type?

I've been typing for about twelve years. When I got my Word Processor certificate, I got 68 wpm with 100% accuracy in Mavis Beacon. Of course, I can go much faster, but not without mistakes. How fast, I don't know. I can really move when I'm taking dictation or copying, but I'm usually somewhere around the fifties or sixties when it's coming off the top of my head.

I can type as fast as 120 words per minute at a maximum. Although I average around 108. I only type with two or three fingers and it is because i know the exactllocation of all the letters on the keyboard ,which is why i can type without looking. When i do it without loooking i still only use a few fingers and i can average around 60wpm doing that. I am currently in the process of learning how to actually properly touch type.

Sometimes I can type up to 60 WPM (Last time I was tested was 5 years ago so I might be faster or still the same, I'm not sure). It just depends on what I'm typing and I use all my fingers when I need to. No need to worry about making mistakes so much and the speed includes accuracy.
