Accuracy first
Speed follows accuracy. Every mistake costs a correction, and many tests count errors against you. Slow down until most of your lines are error-free, then let speed rise on its own.
Learn to type without looking
Keep your fingers on the home row and reach for other keys from there. Looking down breaks your rhythm and hides mistakes until later. The on-screen keyboard is there to look at instead of your hands while you learn.
Work through key groups in order: home row, then the top and bottom rows, then Shift characters, conjuncts and numbers. Move on only when the current group feels automatic.
Practise little and often
Fifteen to twenty minutes every day builds memory faster than a long session once a week. Sit upright with your wrists level and the screen at eye height, and stop when your accuracy starts to drop.
Use timed tests to measure, not to learn
Start with one-minute tests once the layout feels familiar, then move to three and five minutes to build stamina. Note your speed and accuracy each time and look for steady improvement over weeks rather than day to day.
Practise the exact layout and duration your exam uses, and check the official notice for its rules on errors and corrections.
