When to move on to next lesson on Typing Club ?

Should I move on after getting 5 stars ? Or should I look at accuracy ? If yes then how much accurate I must be ? 100% ? Above 95% ?

Right now I'm just moving on to next lesson when I get 5 stars. Any advice ?

Touchtyping

I’m a pretty good typer imo, the thing is, I don’t use touch-typing I use this(video(yes I am using a cereal box to hold up my phone😭)) and have a consistent average of 65WPM. Should I switch over to touch typing or should I stay here?

Is it worth me learning to touch type?

So this is a 15 second test result. i dont touch type, i remember a string of words and then look at my keyboard to peck. 85ishWPM is about my average, it fluctuates between around 93 and 80 but whenever i try to touch type i struggle with bad habits and cant get anywhere near close to my current average WPM. The punctuation is especially what i struggle with.

Do you think its worth me learning touch typing or should i continue to type how i currently do?

Im currently playing a Balatro like game but for typing called TypInc (Give it a go, its actually really good fun) and i am still improving my WPM currently.

Best way to relearn how to type?

I'm sort of a mixture between hunt and peck and touch typing, my left hand does touch typing but I only use my middle finger on my right hand. I average around 80-85 wpm consistently and in like 15 second tests I can get around 90-95. However I just feel like if I learned to touch type and stop looking at the board every five seconds I'd be so much faster. What can I do to hone/reform my touch typing skills? Thanks so much for any response!

Cannot build speed for the "q" key on keybr

I am going through all the keys in the keybr and I am stuck on q, and it is the second last key on the practice course to learn followed by j. Each key requires a speed of 35wpm to be reached in order to unlock the next one and I just cannot get past q.

Most of the q word if not all are very rare to appear in daily word usage and are very hard to spell with a exception of a few words, I think that is why typing it I have to also take time to actually learn the spelling of the words so I can build up speed to reach that 35wpm mark.

Did any of you get stuck on q or any similar pinky keys? Any advice is appreciated.

I type around 37–42 WPM but I still have to look at the keyboard all the time. I also don’t use proper finger placement at all, my fingers just randomly move everywhere 😅

Did anyone here learn touch typing later? How did you train yourself to stop looking at the keyboard?
