When I only got like a 60 on the poem, i tried again and got HTML. It's extremely unfair. Mavis beacon is an awful official tester. I blogged about it back in august. i was so mad because it was for an official typing test too. :(<BR/><BR/>Good job rick! Maybe as a blogger you have gotten enough practice and have improved your skills without even knowing it. :)Scarlethttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01383579846259677109noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11934331.post-50257638788844073502008-01-20T22:56:00.000-05:002008-01-20T22:56:00.000-05:00This comment has been removed by the author.Scarlethttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01383579846259677109noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11934331.post-63141339095180197982008-01-20T22:44:00.000-05:002008-01-20T22:44:00.000-05:00I totally think I have that shoe!

Someone at the next workstation had a regular paragraph of text. That seems patently ridiculous and unfair. How can you possibly compare the two?<BR/><BR/>I just took the test you point to again...to see if my score would improve once I was familiar with the format and I went up to 76. So, I guess it did. Back in the dark ages of high school, I typed about 80 on an electric typewriter. I guess 76 (with no errors) isn't bad these days.<BR/><BR/>PS: Go, Packers! I guess I should be paying more attention to the game than the blogs, right?

It's a lot harder to type like that...when you can't really anticipate what the next word is gonna be.Joannahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03509431918259640103noreply@blogger.com
