What accuracy should students aim for in typing practice?

For students of all ages: accuracy goal is 95–98% during practice. Below 92% means they are typing too fast or haven't mastered the key locations. For beginners (under 20 WPM), aim for 97%+ accuracy even if very slow. For intermediate (20–40 WPM), 95% is acceptable. For advanced (40+ WPM), 96%+. In graded typing tests, many schools require 95% to pass. Encourage students to use the backspace key and correct errors immediately – that builds accurate muscle memory. Do not accept high speed with 85% accuracy; it creates habits that are very hard to break later.
