Monkey Type

A professional writer or typist who works regularly can achieve speeds of 170 – 200 words per minute (wpm), but a few time-sensitive jobs require more than that. In fact, some time-sensitive jobs like Medical Transcriptionist, Court Reporter, or Executive Assistant may ask you to demonstrate 200+ wpm typing skills before they hire you.

One might be tempted to think 200 wpm typing speed or higher be extremely difficult, but you would be completely wrong. Many people can easily demonstrate 200+ wpm typing speed without breaking a sweat. It’s not easy, but like any other skill, typing speed can be improved. Many services promise to increase your typing speed, but here at Monkey-Type, we not only increase your typing speed but your typing accuracy as well. What good is writing fast if it’s full of errors, right? Contrary to popular belief, increasing your typing speed involves more than just practicing.

You need Monkey type, which offers custom timers, automatic word counters, and random real-world phrases to really challenge the typist in you. We have designed our typing test in accordance with those criteria to help you improve your typing speed and accuracy. However, that test is more geared towards beginners. If you believe you are better and the default typing test is not up to your standard, test your skills with our more advanced typing tests like Type Racer, Nitro Type, Type Challenges, or Z-Type game.

You can also try our other tools, such as CPS Test, Cookie Clicker Space Clicker, and others you have seen above. For beginners, I would like to note that if you find our default typing test a bit too difficult, there are exercises you can try between each typing session, and we believe they can really help you.

Beginner exercises to improve your typing experience

To start the beginner exercise, you are going to write the first thing that comes to your mind, no matter how random or silly it is. You can write, “What are you doing here?” or “Where do you live,” or “How are you doing today?”

It doesn’t matter how random your thought is, write it down and do it a few times between every writing session. This will help push your mind to think further ahead when you are actually practicing your typing skills and help you minimize errors.

This is a simple mine exercise to help you get started with your typing tests. As you continue with the above-mentioned exercises and keep doing our tests, you will get better and both your typing speed and quality will improve.
