Hello mateusz1603. I'd like to help you, but to give you the best advice for your problem, I'd really like some more information.

Please do this: Do 5 typing tests here on keyhero, typing as you normaly would "for fun". When you are finished, you will notice that the errors your made are marked up in different colors. When you scroll down on the test page, you can see what kind of error the colors stand for (bad case, bad ordering, doublet or 'other').

Write down how many of each error you made and post these figures here.

I'd also like to know what words you're mistyping; do you make mistakes when typing common words like "and, this, every, you, people, etc" or less common words and more difficult words as "mischief, insinuate, conceited, responsibility, etc"?

Thank you for answer!
My error statistics are like 60% bad ordering and 40% other (orange color). Most of the errors I make on quite easy words (but not as easy as the, you, this, and etc.). I noticed I slow down on difficult words and surprisingly I rarely make mistakes on them. I don't know if it's common but most of the mistakes i make at the beginning on the word.

Okay, so here is what's probably happening to you and how you can fix this:

Typing beyond 30 or 40 wpm is all about developing patterns for words. Let's think of these patterns as blueprints for constructing a car. You have some patterns, but they're wonky: whenever you try to make your car go fast, screws losen, the chassis twists and you crash, i.e. your typing patterns can't take the speed you're trying to make them do.

This happens to me, too. When I'm having a bad day, and my speed is not what I'd like it to be, I sometimes try to go faster. I keep typing "taht" or "teh" or similar words with bad ordering until I give up for the day.

The problem is, to sacrifice accuracy for speed is habit-forming, and it's a baaad bad habit. If a 100 meter sprinter would sacrifice accuracy for speed, he'd fall flat on his face during a race. As a typist, the penalty for doing so is lower, which is why we have to make a conscious effort.

Here's what I think you need to do:

1. You need to reshape your sloppy patterns, and to do that you need to slow down. Do not worry about speed AT ALL. Don't even look at the speed, try to be as accurate as you can, even if this means you'll be typing at 30 wpm. Your speed will increase again eventually without you noticing. Once the quality of your patterns increases, they will be able to handle more speed without strain, which is why it will feel slow but be faster.

2. Try to separate reading from typing. This means that if you have a typing test that says: "All people are equal." you read "All people" before you start typing, not just the "A". Once you read "All people", try typing as though these were your own words. Don't look at the text you're copying but at the words that you read inside your head. (hard to describe, but I hope you understand what I mean.) This will help with your problem of not understanding the text as you type. The chunks you have to read in advance will vary, but it's usually about 2 to 3 words that form a contextual unit.

These two principles combined will make you focus on each key and which finger from which hand is moving, but you are doing so while knowing where you're headed. This will help associate the accurate patterns with the words.

In the beginning, you might find it helpful to keep a certain rhythm to your typing. Fast typing is arhythmic, so this is to prevent you from going too fast again. It's essential that you settle for a rhythm that is slow enough, though.

It is normal that you won't be able to pay attention like this for extended periods of time. I recommend not doing more than 20 minutes in one sitting, but if you're making noticably more mistakes again or can't keep your rhythm even before that, stop. Get up, get some fresh air (coffee is no substitute for fresh air, by the way), maybe even do something rough: chop wood, lift weights, something that doesn't involve agile fingers and gets your heart pumping.

HANG IN THERE! This will be hard. You've been grinding in sloppy patterns for nearly a year, and to reshape them will take time. Try to cut back on typing in any way other than with utmost concentration, if you do 20 minutes of training perfectly but spend the next hour chatting with people in your normal, sloppy ways, you will undo any progress you've made. Try to be as accurate as possible at all times.

Hello, fellow Pole! :D

Another strategy I've heard of is to break your speed barrier - just try to write as fast as you can, not thinking about accuracy too much.
Basically, you can't train speed without sacrificing accuracy and you can't train your accuracy without slowing down. - But generally you shouldn't sacrifice either, so it's important to balance both types of training.

thanks, hello foxy :D I practiced with aim on accuracy and surprisingly my speed increased! Although I feel that my WPM is around 30 but numbers say it's double as much. I used to type as fast as I can, I mastered my "backspace"skills, but it apparently doesn't work for me. Similar like driving a car, if everything is under control that means I drive too slow (joke), the point is to challenge yourself but I suppose it doesn't match with typing. I'll try to keep my accuracy as high as possible (in range of common sense) and blindly believe in magic of practice.

You are doing nothing wrong, except for going to fast. If you slow down you will be better off. When you are used to the speed you are going at take it up a notch.

I think what you should do is to focus on your accuracy first then worry about the speed. It's useless to have a high speed if you can't even hit the keys properly. Type slow even if you don't like going slow. Concentrate on the letters you hit and pretty soon with enough practice you'll start hitting the keys faster and faster.
