Typing is a foundational digital skill for college success. The Typing Speed and Accuracy section of SmarterMeasure helps you understand how quickly and accurately you type—so you can complete assignments more efficiently, communicate clearly, and reduce frustration when working online.
🕒 Typing Speed
Keep up the pace—type with confidence.
Typing speed affects your ability to complete timed assignments, respond to instructors, and participate in class discussions without feeling rushed.
If you’re struggling, practice regularly, use all ten fingers, and focus on short, timed drills.
If you're doing well, push your limits with speed goals, test under pressure, and reflect on your growth.
💡 Tip: Speed comes with accuracy and practice. Don’t rush—train smart.
🎯 Typing Accuracy
