Back in my day, it was 45-50wpm with a marginal error of 90%. But, lately, i've been reading of requirements of 65-70wpm and the rest depends on the man! I would go for 60-65wpm. You'll get faster in time.
gypsyboyblue Reviewed by gypsyboyblue on . What's a good typing speed? What kind of WPM should I aim for if I'm looking to get hired for a job doing a lot of typing? My last test Gross Speed was 42 WPM Errors 10 words Net Speed 37 WPM Accuracy 88%. I think those are pretty pathetic for the amount of time I spend on the computer. To test yourself go to http://www.typingtest.com/contents/java/typetest/default.htm I think 60 WPM would be a good goal for me. Anyone know what speed businesses usually look for? Rating: 5
