Tips for success:
1. Complete each PK drill several (3-5) times to reach the goal to get an A.
2. If accuracy is less than 90% - keep practicing – you might need to slow down.
3. Once accuracy is consistently above 90%, if WPM is still low, practice typing with something covering
the keyboard – you should not be looking down. Keep your eyes on the monitor.
