Is there some way to cheat on a typing test?

Aside from having someone else take it got you
Copy and paste won't work.
And I need 45 words per minute with no errors.
I can't type that fast.

You should keep on practicing. There are loads of typing tests online.
45 wpm with no errors is actually average, I would say. So it's definitely do-able.
You probably know this already but you shouldn't look at the keyboard while you're typing and always use both hands. The "middle line", on a normal for-English keyboard is around TY-GH-BN. So just make sure your left hand keeps to the left of that line, and right hand sticks to the right of the line. You can definitely do it. More practice.

I type with two fingers.
I didn't know you're not supposed to look at the keyboard

[dantetheexplorer]

Looking will slow you down. Your eyes should focus on the part of the screen where your words pop up. This way, you can see your mistakes immediately and back track (BackSpace) to adjust - and let your fingers do the "grunt work".

You should be using at least seven fingers. I assume your computer keyboard is setup for English and the Enter key is to your right, and the Space bar is below the other keys. I assume you are right handed.

For the left hand, you use your index and middle finger to type the letters, making sure to keep the left of the suggested midline mentioned earlier, and you use your left thumb to SpaceBar.

On your right hand, you use the index and middle finger to type the letters, making sure to keep the right of the suggested midline mentioned earlier. You use your right thumb for "comma", "period", and SpaceBar. You use your right pinky finger for Shift and Enter.

I find this works for me. I can consistently get 75-80 wpm at a somewhat leisurely pace, sometimes higher, depending on the words, with 0 error. Keep practicing! Think of it as a game.

The hardest part is hitting the shift.

[Browneye57]

Sure. Just type faster. ;)

Consider just practicing. I type about 80wpm. When we took typing in high school no one could really figure out why - computers hadn't been invented for about ten more years. ;)

[ZeussLightningBolt]

I DID. But he told even if I get 45 WPM but have a bunch of errors, it doesn't count.

80 WPM? How is that even possible?

[Browneye57]

Muscle memory. The more you do it the better you get. For better accuracy I'm more like 50, but I can definitely fly. Been banging a keyboard for 25 years.

My dad said he did, back in the old commodore days by editing the program to add an extra number to his word count when he hit the shift key.

I don't think that's gonna help you in 2019 though.

[ZeussLightningBolt]

I'm not that good with computers.

[KinaJoy13]

That is really easy just go online and press typing online and it will help you type faster

[KinaJoy13]

no cheating bad!

[SkipStop]

I don't think so. Practice makes perfect. I took a typing class in high school. Helped a lot. I need to start practicing again.

[oddwaffle]

Eh? Engage into a chatting forum or program. You will learn fast. Really fast. Much less boring.

[Tim-loves-it]

You could do the unthinkable.. look at the keyboard but i dont recommend it

[ZeussLightningBolt]

What do you think I've been doing?
And that's actually what's slowing me down. Cuz I have to keep looking at the words on the screen

[Tim-loves-it]

Oh! Trust me i believe ya.. its only if someones reading to ya where you might be faster.. My only trick is to practice. Best of luck to ya

[llorando]

Nope, only solution is good old fashioned practicing.

[DDpsy]

Learn to touch type... how much time you have left?
45mins is not that hard.

This site is pretty good for practicing.

I could do 45 when I was like 12

[ZeussLightningBolt]

Can you take it for me?

[Opinion Owner]

Just take those one minute tests online and practice, you’ll get it fast

[NYCQuestions1976]

Have a shot beforehand.

[PrincessGrail]

No way that I know of

[ZeussLightningBolt]

Except to have someone else take it for you
I wish I still had my Mexican friend

[PrincessGrail]

Does he look like you?

[ZeussLightningBolt]

NO.
But we could just come in at different times and wait for the guy to leave then have him take it for me.

I was gonna ask some random girl to take it for me, but if she snitched on me I would have been fucked

[PrincessGrail]

You would be totally fucked

[NovissimumVirorum]

Nope, and 45 words isn't really that fast

[ZeussLightningBolt]

That's what he told me I need to get hired.
At home I can type that fast, when I have to words in my head, but not when I'm reading off the screen

[Paris13]

Your Hand, man. lolxx

[Repa33]
