You might hate me for this, but this is how I did with just my two index fingers :lol:



Practice does make perfect for this, if you want to learn to touch type then you'll have to try and get used to doing it without looking :tongue: although tbh, I don't think it's that useful a skill (unless you want to take notes using a computer? :dontknow:) - very rarely do you completely know what you want to say, and you usually need to check work so...

I never really type any work up or anything so typing faster is pretty useless for me.

I wouldn't recommend this practise technique for other skills though; it only works with typing since the keys are so damn big. Don't you think it's weird that most people spend their days typing on keyboards yet they can't type that quickly? Something to do with plateaus; people think 'this is good enough'. I watched a video about it once; you need to try and push yoruself :holmes:

So long as you aren't one of those guys that type with their two index fingers only... I'll see how fast I can type with just my index fingers for lols :lol:


I can type super fast on my phone when my fingers aren't frozen

But I'm rarely on the laptop so maybe that's why it seems so bizarre

Mm, but typing with just your thumbs does limit you to an extent.

But people have developed a way to get around that.

How fast can you type? My PB is around 120wpm


Did not mean to type type :lol:

I write all my essays on paper first then type them up later (usually). I meant that I'm a speedy writer haha.

Did that typing test and got 52 (with 100% accuracy), I use just my index fingers though tbf.

My keyboard is curved so touch typing is pretty redundant.

You'd probably break it typing that fast.

Mechanical keyboards are basically designed for bashing... What I don't get is how some people can go at like 160 wpm...

I've come to notice that when you're doing things with your hands, you need to be relaxed in order to achieve high speeds. Can't think of a single skill that uses your hands that doesn't tbh, but this is something I've only come to appreciate recently.

When I type at my fastest speed I'm not really tense :lol:

What year was the 'A*' grade introduced into A levels?

If I got 76% in AS but 90% in my A2 would I get an A*?
