@Mrs. Jump Rope: Yup...here too! I was homeschooled and my mom made me do Mavis Beacon.
-
@Mrs. Pen: @coopsmama: SO FUNNY! I was homeschooled and also did Mavis Beacon!
I took the MB "class" when I was younger, and then several computer classes in high school and then again in college.
I am an incredibly fast typer. Over 90 wpm!
-
Yes! I have to for my job. Don't know wpm my boss always comments on it! Lol
-
@Mrs. Pen: My mom had me do the Mavis Beacon! Though I wasn't homeschooled, and I did have some computer classes in middle school.
-
Yep! We had to take a typing class in middle school and did the whole "board over your hands so you can't see them" thing. The last time I took an online test I think my speed was about 90wpm.
ETA: I just took a speed test bc I'm lame and was curious… 98! Woot! http://10fastfingers.com/typing-test/english

Another Mavis grad here! I did a practice (albeit, seemingly easy) round on the type racer website and typed 101 wpm. I also have some practice because I transcribe a monthly meeting and capture almost everything verbatim in real time.
-
Yes, we had to take an entire typing class in high school. Lame!
-
Another Mavis Beacon grad here! I'm really glad I learned.
-
Yes, we were required to take computers for all three years of middle school and I took various computer classes in high school.
-
I just took a wpm test...71 and I was kind of sidetracked!
-
Yep. Another graduate of Mavis Beacon! They also made us take typing in middle school.
-
Yep! I had to learn for computer class in 8th grade.
-
@pui: whoa!
i type properly and don't have to look. i took typing in elementary and middle school and being on aim during college cemented my skills!
-
Yep, I'm a very good typist.
I used to do police transcription for a job, and we had to be 90wpm error free to keep our job. Probably slower now, but I can still type about as fast as most people talk.
-
Yep - I had a computer at a very early age. No idea on my WPM but I am guessing it is pretty high.
@pui: we are not worthy..... that is bad ass.
-
@indi: i got 71 WPM with your test
@Mae: i only got 67 WPM with yours! -
@Mae: woot high 5! I got 98 too...after a beer and watching tv.
-
I'm pretty fast. I thought my speed was around 80wpm, but according to that test I'm 110wpm!
Has anyone ever heard of the game Typing of the Dead? I played that once and rocked it
