Typing Tournament Tutor

Drills

Drill Types

3 different types.
Drill 1 is a single line of content that you must copy by typing in the space below;
Drill 2 has 4 lines of content also typed below and
Drill 3 is 10 lines typed directly over the given content.

Duration

Each Drill is 3 minutes long. Type as much as you can in that time.You can exit a Drill at any time by clicking "End".

No Wrong Keystrokes in Drills

Drills are designed to train you to type the correct key at the first attempt. If you type an incorrect key, your keystroke will not show on the screen; only the letters that you type correctly will show. There is also no alert sound for an incorrect keystroke in the Drills. The program will simply not continue until you type the correct key. If you hesitate for more than 2 seconds, the animation at the bottom of the screen will show you the next key and its correct finger.

Reporting Results - Drills

At the end of each Drill you will be given a report showing your speed (Characters Typed in the 3-minute period) and the number of incorrect keystrokes made

Extra Drill Rewards

Finally, because practice is so important in building proficient typing skills, there is a Bonus Reward at the end of the Quest for players who have completed all 3 Drills in all 16 locations.
