Looking to type faster without sacrificing accuracy? This structured 7-day plan will help you develop muscle memory, eliminate bad habits, and track your progress. Whether you're a student, professional, or beginner, follow these daily steps and improve your WPM (Words Per Minute) confidently.
Need a warm-up before starting? Try our 10-Minute Typing Drill first.
Begin by measuring your current typing speed and accuracy. Use a tool that reports WPM and error rate. Write down your results to track improvement throughout the week.
Review basic finger positions for ASDF and JKL;. Practice drills that keep your fingers anchored on the home row. Focus on typing without looking at the keyboard.
Practice typing real-life phrases. Aim for precision, not speed. Use short prompts or daily journaling. This will build rhythm and reduce overcorrections.
Complete three 1-minute typing tests. Compare scores with Day 1. Notice where you improve or struggle. Stay relaxed to minimize stress-related mistakes.
Type high-frequency words like “the”, “you”, “are”, and “have”. Familiarity increases speed and eliminates hesitation during everyday typing tasks.
Review previous test results. Were errors due to punctuation, finger misplacement, or rushing? Choose drills that reinforce your weakest areas.
Take a final typing test. Compare your current WPM and accuracy with Day 1. Note improvements and set new goals for the future!
