I get 136 by copy and paste.

I editted the top. The first time copying and pasting was 135, the 2nd was 136... dunno why it changed. But regardless, how does Descartes get 147.. .I call SHENS!!

Wow, that's impressive.

I find that I usually type slower on an ergo keyboard (although I much prefer them).

You just might need to get more used to it. I find it's a lot easier to type with my wrists straight, and I just generally type a lot faster and more consistently. I'm squished on this Dell keyboard, and my wrists bent at roughly 35 degree angles from my forearms. No good!

Um, the highest possible score is 136 on this test.

How'd you pull that off? I just copied and pasted the text and got 136.

95 gross, 91 net. I have big meaty hands so don't think I could improve too much... but then again I don't type as much as some people so maybe there's a little room for improvement *shrug*.

Edit: 99/96 on my second try

I call shens.. even if you copy/paste and click go, the max is still 136.

Liar.. the test only goes up to 135.... or 136.. something like that. I got that result from copying and pasting the entire text.

I promise it was 147. Perhaps I saw it wrong and it was 137. I just did it again, and I got 137. I'll try it again and take a picture if you don't believe me. I got 135 on my second.

what are some tips for faster typing?

Practice; real practice, not IMs and posting to AT. Stuff where you properly punctuate and capitalize.

You guys realize you can cheat by copy/paste, right? :D I got a 137 WPM by doing that :p :p

But my real score is 91 WPM

Since my old chair broke, I've been stuck with this one that sits up too high. Didn't help any.

See, I knew I got a 1something7, so it must've been a 137.

I'll take a damn video of me typing it for the naysayers.
