KPH calculation
KPH equals keystrokes divided by active hours. A two-minute sample is multiplied heavily, so longer tests usually provide a more stable estimate.
Net versus raw KPH
Raw KPH counts attempts. Net KPH uses the characters that remain correct. Employers may define error penalties differently, so follow the stated assessment rules.
Technique
Anchor the middle finger on 5, minimize whole-hand movement, and learn the shape of number sequences rather than looking at every key.
Practice realistic records
Decimals, dates, tabs, and field changes create the cadence used in accounting and data entry. A digit-only stream can overstate real readiness.
