Typing progress in 2022

I wrote a post last year about my typing progress and I wanted to see if I can continue improving my typing speed and accuracy. I used the same method that I did last year, which was using a combination of TypeRacer and Monkeytype to practice typing.

Statistics

Below are the stats for my typing progress this year on TypeRacer:

This is a comparison of my stats this year and last year:

Stats	2021	2022
Number of races I completed	700	669
Slowest typing speed (WPM)	58	71
Fastest typing speed (WPM)	124	137
Number of times I reached 100% accuracy	11/700 (1.57%)	14/669 (2.09%)
Average speed (WPM) and accuracy of the first 100 races	88.76 (97.22%)	101.84 (98.07%)
Average speed (WPM) accuracy of the last 100 races	98.16 (97.94%)	103.60 (97.95%)

Thoughts

• I feel more comfortable typing, but I do slip into the habit of spamming the keyboard when I am less intentional with the way I type.
• It looks like I am plateauing in my improvement because my average speed has only gone up from 101 WPM to 103 WPM, whereas in 2021, I improved by almost 10 WPM.
• However, I am breaking my record in terms of how fast I am typing (from 124 WPM to 137 WPM).
• I’m going to try this out for another year and see if I can reach an average speed of 110 WPM.
