I've always been a fast typist (IMO) going between 80-90 wpm consistently. Well I have a potential full time data entry job but it is ten key not alpha numeric. IT'S SO MUCH FUCKING HARDER!!!
What's worse, to get an interview with job I need to lob 11,000 keystrokes per minute with (as close as possible) to 97-99% accuracy. I am getting frazzled easily and using the /*- really throw me off and it sucks because i have fu king years and years typing but i never use my one hand doing ten key shit.
I was curious if any of you are good at ten key and if you could pass this test. Here is the practice test they guy sent me
http://official-typing-test.com/test/ten.html
It's the five minute complete ten key test
I just did it and I got like 8600 and 88% accuracy. I don't even want to go in and take the fuckign test at this wake, I think i should take the weekend and try to get gud

Yeah, you should take the time to get better at it if it's important for the job and it's a job you want.
The only thing you can do is practice daily. There's no short cut to fast, accurate typing. It's like learning to play the piano.
yeah ten key is a lot different than typing. I can do 180-ish wpm on a good day, but I can't even use my numpad without looking at it.

183 keystrokes per second? what the fuck are you on about.
>KPH : 5640
>Accuracy 37%

>tfw need a PhD in ten-key with 10 years experience with 183 keystrokes/sec to get a remedial data entry job
post your results. My latest attempt. I'm improving! 11,000 is fucking insanely fast
>>35744926
per hour, bite me cuck
>>35744982
that's quite bad. I'm sorry. At least you don't need to pass this test to avoid getting evicted

No, you bite me. Nigger
>>35745242
Posted the wrong test, whoops.
Was a nice warm up.
>>35745254
you're still a fag.

>salty OP mad he got BTFO
I'm gonna go ahead and take your job now :)
i never use the numpad ever, just the numbers at the top.

kek
>>35745341
no im salty you had to be a fag by making this comment
>>35744926
you're just an absolute faggot
>>35745511
>(IMO)
You are a fucking faggot
fuck all of you i fucking hate this subreddit
didn't use the numpad at all desu
>>35746304
>i will NEVER get a super easy data entry job
did way better than I thought I would do
>>35746458
all these years perfecting the alpha numeric part of the keyboard when i have a chance to get a job they want the fucking num pad god dammit
>>35746304
i don't know if you are allowed to do that when i go in to take the test. It is a lot harder for five minutes, btw. And apparently they expect you to keep up this speed for eight hours a day, 40 hours a week...

I reached only 7k but I'm a shitty ~55 wpm typer, and I felt clumsy and shit the whole time, 11k should be easymode with practice. You're probably using the wrong technique. Also, you can most likely achieve yuge speed gains in a couple days anyway.
>>35747023
he wants me to pass it tomorrow. I'm pretty close and i mean i can master shit like guitar hero so it's not like i am physically incapable but if i had the weekend to git gud i could pass it on monday im fairly certain. But time is of the essense.
I prolly shouldn't be drinking and watching college basketball right now
i got 4800 but i never ever use the numpad.
does that mean i have autism?
>>35747080
oh that's a shitty situation. I think you should just practice it to hell right now and hope for those sleep knowledge gains, you know, when you wake up after having practiced something the day before being suddenly 1000 times better at it.
>>35747023
my technique is correct, for the record. I just need more reps.
>>35747100
no. nobody uses the numbpad. that's why im raging so hard because otherwise i should have this job no problem. I am making gains tho
>>35747140
yeah, good idea. I've been practicing during commercials and shit but i should take this more seriously it is my life and all
IT'S THOSE GOD DAMN MOTHER FUCKING / * - FUCKING EVERYTHING UP FOR ME REEEEEEEEEEEEEEE
fuck i tried real hard
And I am the opposite--never learned the QWERTY keyboard so my typing is iffy, but I can 10-key like a pro.
> there are only 3 keys per finger and only 3 fingers, get with the program son
>>35748236
you are forgetting /, *, -, 0, . + and enter broheim. So middle finger has four and the ring finger has five.
Yes in theory it should be easier but i am used to using both hands and it is just muscle memory at this point from single digit age. Plus it makes my hand hurt all bad and shit normal keyboard is fine but I'm gonna get real bad carpal tunnel syndrome and arthritis if i somehow pass this test tomorrow.
