Frequently asked questions
What is a number typing test?
βΎ
A typing test focused on numerals β phone numbers, dates, prices, and statistics. It trains the number row and numpad fluency separately from the letter rows.
How fast should I type numbers?
βΎ
Most typists run 30-50% slower on number rows compared to letters because the keys aren't part of muscle memory. 40-50 WPM on numbers is a solid result.
Should I use the number row or numpad?
βΎ
Use what your day-to-day work uses. Accountants and data-entry workers prefer numpad; programmers and writers usually use the top row.
Why are numbers harder to type than letters?
βΎ
Number keys sit higher than home row, requiring finger stretch. They're also less rehearsed in normal text β you simply type them less often.
How do I practice numpad typing?
βΎ
Run timed tests on Uzbektype's number variant with NumLock on. Focus on home keys 4-5-6 and build outward to 0-9.
