PRE-
AND POST-TEST TIMED WRITING
| Directions: |
Open a blank
document in any word processor or notepad and begin typing the timing
when your teacher tells you to. Do not press ENTER/RETURN
until you reach the end of the paragraph. If you finish typing
the paragraph before time is up, start again and keep typing.
|
Remember, type
without looking at your hands!
| You
have come a long way in a very short time. |

without looking at your fingers, at a chart, or |

screen. You will get better and better and |

| make
fewer and fewer errors. |

To figure how fast you typed, follow
these steps:
|
1
|
Look at the number
to the right of the last complete line you typed. |
|
2
|
Then, if you typed a partial
line, draw an imaginary line down to the number scale at the bottom
of the paragraph. You can count the number on the left of your line. |

Add the two numbers
together to find out your typing speed. |
