Question

You learned about typing speed and accuracy. In this activity, you will investigate common mistakes you make that affect your typing speed and accuracy. List the mistakes and the steps you need to take to minimize errors while typing.

Answer 1

Sometimes, I look at the keyboard when I type, and do not realize the mistake I have made until I look at the screen.

I often type the letter O instead of the number 0. This happens because these keys are close to each other on a QWERTY keyboard.

Every time I use the Backspace key to correct my mistakes, it slows me down.

Sometimes, the Num Lock mode is off, and I start typing numbers without looking at the screen. Eventually, when I look up at the screen and realize my mistake, I’d have lost time and the pace of my work. This affects my typing speed and accuracy.

When I type too fast, I often leave out some of the words that I had intended to type. This affects the accuracy of my work.

Steps to minimize errors

I should use the correct sitting posture to reduce strain on my body when I type.

I need to plan what I intend to write before I start typing

I should keep the spell checker on so that spelling and grammatical errors are highlighted.

I should correct errors as I type.

I should ensure that the Num Lock is on before I type using the numeric keypad.

I used these measures to improve my typing. I performed the typing test again after some practice.

For the first pangram, I typed all the 46 entries in 1 minute. I made 1 error.

Answer 2

Be fast, but have a pace because it'll help lower the chances of making mistakes, which. Bringing accuracy+. If you try to speed run through a typing test or something you're more than likely to make mistakes.

What I typically do is ignore making mistakes and type at my own speed and pace, eventually you'll type faster and faster without making any mistakes at all.
