         Typing Tips

Here are a some basic tips, summarized from various typing tutorials and lessons. These tips are

useful for taking tests as well as everyday keyboarding:

.

Tap on each key crisply but lightly. If you use minimum force (don't bang on the keys),

your fingers will move faster.

.

Type as quickly as you are able, but don't "try" too hard or force your speed or you'll

make many mistakes.

.

Relax!

.

Use proper posture, sit upright.

.

Keyboard/monitor positioning: your wrist, elbows and keyboard should be on the same

horizontal plane, and at a 90 degree angle to your upper arms.

.

The top of your screen should be near eye level.

.

Stretch your wrists and fingers before starting a typing test (don't laugh, it does help!).
