Basic and Intermediate Speed Typing Tests

At: www.how-to-type.com

This is much more than just a pair of tests, its a comprehensive set of lessons aimed at beginning typing students!

There are a total of seven lessons, from a basic home row introduction to more advanced demonstrations on symbols and punctuation. Each lesson provides easy-to-understand instructions on its topic, and has interactive word lines for students to practice on, pressure-free.

Each lesson is interactive and students can closely monitor their own progress and errors as they go.

There is also a freeform practice sheet for typists to work on before they attempt the tests. The tests themselves are timed and will give students a good representation of their typing abilities.
