Alright screw the game, I had more fun taking the tests. I've never taken a typing test before. I consider myself a fairly fast typer. I mean I type as fast as my fingers can get to the keys. I take the tests and I avg around 86 WPM... I can't for the life of me get to 90 WPM no matter how many times I repeat the same test. I read about people typing over 150 WPM... how is that even possible? I make zero mistakes and my fingers move so incredibly fast and accurate but yet getting to 90 WPM is impossible... 150 WPM? I smell BS. I wanna watch some goof type at 150 WPM with his eyes popping out of his head sweating bullets.

On touch type tutor for windows (tttwin), doing a standard letter paragraph test with a QWERTY keyboard, I'd average about 110 WPM, and the fastest I've ever done on that test is 125 WPM, but that is with knowing the paragraph beforehand. I've seen people type faster than that.

I can probably get 150, i believe the fasest typists in the world can get over 200wpm. i'm trying to get the top stop in that game (letters only - no shift) , after three tries I got tenth place, looks like it has 300 scores listed. i remember paying attention in typing classes, maybe there is a correct way to type, no idea.

wow, awesome game, I got 100wpm, the speed test is hard because the sentenaces are strange, and there's punctiation. once you know the words you can do it a lot quicker.

when I went to download the program, from one site, the downloaded program said spambuster or something, so i didn't down load that. Here's the real game:

damn wicked hard, Robot, you really got 125wpm on this, I wanna see.

I don't think I'd be able to get 125 WPM nowadays. When I got 125, that was at school, in grade 8. Since becoming ill, my attention is disrupted on a constant basis, I'd only be able to do about 110-115.

man... i only average 60 wpm, with mistakes - not knowing the paragraph beforehand... I can't even comprehend what you guys can do let alone the best...

Umm reaper what you typed was so incredibly easy. I could get 150 WPM typing that. Try typing something that's a bit more advanced. Honestly I don't believe most people online who claim they can type over 100 WPM. I type so incredibly fast yet the test comes out to be 86-89 WPM. Maybe my test is fucked up or something.

weird because the sentences are strange, there's punctiation, and capitlazation, so it's pretty standard, just like typing pages in a book..

there's no way you could get 150 on that, if you were able to continue that test for 50 minutes, at 150 you would be the fastest typer in the world. This is a very standard typing test, I posted the link, have a try.

Jager honestly... is it that hard for you to imagine that fingers can move faster than yours..? I regularly score over 100wpm on the facebook typing challenge. It's not THAT hard... It's random sentences every single time you do it. I've hit 131wpm 100% accuracy one time. Average is over 110wpm for me.

Great example: Sean Wrona

212 wpm

You should think about changing your keyboard as well: Das Keyboard || Happy Hacking Keyboard Lite 2

My new record can be seen here at Ryan Heise's hi-games.net: 102 wpm

Also! I forgot, you should practice typing the most common words in English. This should help a lot.
