Detailed Answer
Data entry typically requires 50–70 WPM net with 97%+ accuracy, plus numeric keypad speed (8,000–12,000 keystrokes per hour or KPH). Some specialized data entry (e.g., legal forms) needs only 40–50 WPM but perfect accuracy. For high-volume data entry (e.g., order processing), employers want 60+ WPM. Many data entry tests measure in CPM or KPH: 60 WPM = 300 CPM = 18,000 KPH (but KPH includes corrections). Use platforms like DataEntryTest.com to practice. A typing certificate alone is not enough – you must demonstrate fast, error-free numeric entry.
