What is the best way to track typing progress?

Use a spreadsheet (Google Sheets or Excel) with columns: Date, Test Duration (min), Gross WPM, Net WPM, Accuracy %, Error types (optional). Take the same 3-minute test (e.g., 'English 200' on 10FastFingers) each day at the same time. Also record a 5-minute test every Sunday. Plot a line chart to visualize trends. Use typing software that automatically logs results (e.g., Typing.com dashboard, Monkeytype history). Track your 'best 1-minute burst' separately for motivation. Set weekly goals (e.g., 'increase net WPM by 2'). Review errors weekly – if same keys keep failing, add specific drills. Progress isn't linear; plateaus are normal. Celebrate small improvements (e.g., +1% accuracy).
