Detailed Answer
Consistency comes from rhythm. 1) Set a metronome at your target keystroke rate (e.g., for 50 WPM = 250 CPM = ~4.2 keystrokes per second; set metronome to 4 beats/second, type one keystroke per beat). 2) Don't sprint and pause – maintain steady flow. 3) Read 2-3 words ahead to avoid 'surprise' letters. 4) Use the same keyboard and posture daily. 5) Develop a pre-test ritual (three deep breaths, shake hands). 6) Ignore errors; fix them at the end of the word. 7) Practice with distracting noise (typing test simulators often include office sounds). 8) Know the test length – pace yourself.
