Taking an Accuracy and Speed Test
The third option in each lesson, Take accuracy and speed test, lets you
test your progress. Each lesson has four different tests that you can take. You
can retake a test anytime. Your record shows only your best results.
When you choose this option, the NEO shows the goals you need to meet for
accuracy and speed in order to pass the test.
As in the accuracy builder, the number of errors is counted as the number of
incorrectly typed words. Even if you make more than one mistake while
typing a word, it counts as only one error. Typing extra spaces between words
also counts as an error.
The top two lines on the screen show you the text to type and when to press
enter. After you’ve typed the text, the screen shows your accuracy and speed
scores, your goal, and whether you passed for accuracy and for speed. Note
that you may pass either accuracy or speed without passing the other
element. When you press the space bar after viewing the score, you’ll return
to the lesson screen.
Your typing rate was 5 words per
minute. You need to type 8 words per
minute or more.
