Hello everyone. I'm new
I am from Oklahoma and enrolled in an online MT course.

Thankyou!

You will probably get some references for internet sites to improve your skills, but there really is only one way - practice, practice, and more practice.

I agree with tropsicle. My speed increased significantly while I was in school typing all of those reports. Something that works for me is backspacing and retyping instead of correcting typos with the mouse. For example, if I had typed "the patien went to school and then straight to his job," I would delete everything until I got to patien and retype it. Not something to do while I'm working, but in doing that I'm getting practice AND I'm improving my accuracy.

I suck at the numbers and those are important, of course, so I bought Mavis Beacon Teaches Typing and did the number exercises.

TyperShark is a VERY fun game you can download at Yahoo! Games, I believe, and it will speed you up. There's a free trial and then you can play it online.

I have always found http://www.typingtest.com helpful when I have some spare time and want to work on my speed. The site is free and you can choose how long you want to type for.:)
