Except for the *Typing* block. 2 Fs... I gave up and took underwater basket weaving as my elective instead.
I haven't gotten much better, even with as much time I spend on the comp.
See how well YOU do.I gave up at 22 wpm

I typed for 2 minutes, averaged 57 words per minute, with errors it adjusted to 45 words per minute. Typing had been my job for 30 years and now I'm rusty....

I will take it again later on and see if I can up my speed. I agree.. the punctuation didn't help.

Is it OK if I rely on your looks too, Lynne?

No one types two hyphens to get an em dash GAD.

I got 35 on Astronauts but 70 on Dorothy... the big problem was that I was typing faster than they highlighted what word I was on, which, frankly, was distracting, and on the second one, I kept wanting to correct the punctuation.
Definitely faster without all the caps and quotation marks and hyphens in the first one.
Note: interesting, I tried it again at work with my regular keyboard and I am actually faster and more accurate both on the laptop. (Which is a 15 inch.) Thanks to Mom who wouldn't let us use the manual typewriter until we took a typing class in junior high school.
