Tips for Your First 30 Minute Typing Test
Build Your Endurance
Don't try to type a full 30 minute test without warming-up first! Typing endurance (the ability to sustain your pace over a long period of time) increases gradually by using shorter 5, 10 and 15 minute tests. This will help to build enough endurance for your 30-minute marathon typing.
Set Up Your Workstation
Working with good ergonomics when completing a 30-minute typing test is imperative. Ensure that your monitor, chair, keyboard and lighting have been set for optimal comfort and to prevent fatigue when taking the 30-minute test.
Warm Up Before the Test
Use a 1-minute and 2-minute typing test before you do your 30-minute test to get your fingers ready to type and to get blood flowing to your fingers without developing fatigue prior to taking your test.
Stay Hydrated
Make sure you keep water nearby while you take your 30-minute typing test because being dehydrated may lead to a lack of concentration and poor fine motor control. If you take a sip of water before you start the 30-minute typing test, do not stop to drink water during the test.
Timing is Everything
Take your 30-minute typing test when you are mentally and physically fresh. Most people do best when taking the test in the morning or early afternoon. Try to avoid taking the test when you are tired or stressed.
Minimize Distractions
In order to type for 30 minutes, you have to stay very focused on typing. Make sure to turn-off notifications, close any windows and tabs that you do not need for the typing test, inform people who may disturb you not to bother you while you are taking the test, and to have a quiet environment so you can concentrate while you are taking the typing test.
