How to Improve Typing Speed and Accuracy

The recent examination experiences clearly show that many candidates lose valuable opportunities because they neglect typing practice.

Follow these tips:

  • Practice daily using a desktop keyboard rather than only a laptop.
  • Prioritize accuracy first, then gradually increase speed.
  • Take timed mock typing tests.
  • Practice on different keyboards to avoid dependency on one keyboard.
  • Learn correct finger placement (touch typing).
  • Simulate actual examination conditions.
  • Avoid panic during the skill test.
  • Check the keyboard and report any technical issue immediately before starting the examination.

Why You Should Apply Early

Waiting until the last day can lead to unnecessary stress due to server congestion or technical issues. Applying well before the deadline also gives candidates enough time to verify documents and correct any mistakes.
