Accuracy vs Speed: What Should You Train First?

Why exam-ready typing requires both speed and low error rate, and how to balance them.

Accuracy builds the base

When key movements are reliable, speed usually rises naturally. High error rates create corrections and reduce effective speed.

Speed needs controlled pressure

Once accuracy is stable, short timed sessions can push pace without turning every session into a race.

Use Net WPM

Gross WPM shows raw speed, while Net WPM and accuracy better reflect how much usable text you produced.

Train both

Use easy passages for speed, moderate passages for consistency and hard passages for punctuation, numbers and control.
