common — five lessons

You are not signed in, so every lesson is open and none of them will be marked as cleared. Try any of them. To have the course actually track you — and to have lesson 2 built from the keys you personally miss — create an account.

Each lesson has a standard, and you clear it by meeting the standard rather than by finishing it — otherwise the course would cheerfully teach you to type quickly and wrongly. Gates are set for a level 3 typist on common. That level is a guess: take the assessment and it will be aimed properly.

  1. 1 Elements Find the keys without looking. Speed is irrelevant here; the reach is the whole lesson. gate: 25 wpm at 94.0%  ·  45 words start
  2. 2 Your reaches The keys you personally miss, drilled against this genre's elements. This is the lesson that moves your number. gate: 29 wpm at 95.0%  ·  45 words start
  3. 3 Fragments The same elements inside real chunks, so the pattern survives contact with context. gate: 36 wpm at 95.0%  ·  50 words start
  4. 4 Passages Real text from the genre, untimed. Accuracy carries; the speed will follow. gate: 41 wpm at 96.0%  ·  60 words start
  5. 5 Mastery Sixty seconds of the real thing, held at speed and accuracy together. Pass this and the genre is yours. gate: 45 wpm at 97.0%  ·  60 seconds start
