Since this has turned into a bit of a "share your story here" thing, I'll go ahead and share my personal experience.

I'm 16. In sixth grade I had to take a mandatory computer typing class, and I will be forever grateful of that class because it taught me how to touch type. I think by the end of the class, my WPM was around 65 on the final test (but I think passing was only 40 WPM). A lot of people failed, because no one would just learn how to do it, and so instead they "finger pecked" their way through. I think I was one out of six people who passed, out of a class of 30 kids.

Since then, I never really practiced, but I've always been a decent typist. I made my 10fastfingers account 4 months ago, but I didn't consistently practice.

In the beginning, my scores were in the 80 - 90 WPM range. I've just started practicing consistently these past few days, and now my average is up to 100 WPM. My all-time high is 115 WPM. I've only taken a total of 28 tests (at this moment as I write this), and a few competitions, but I hope to keep getting better.

Exactly a month ago, I created this thread to know how fast I was, and 65 WPM was my average speed at that time. I have practiced a lot since then. Now, my average speed is 90 WPM. My target is to reach an average speed of 100 WPM in advanced typing test.

You have made an amazing accomplishment.

This project is awesome. When i've just came here 2 years ago i was 90-95 wpm. Today i've solved 104!:)) yes
