Numbers mixed into everyday words, typed on the row of digits above the letters.
The number row is the furthest reach on the keyboard, and many people look down to find it. This test mixes numbers of one to four digits into the words, so you practise reaching for them without breaking your rhythm.
For numbers typed on a separate number pad, as in accounting and data entry, take the 10-key test. You can add numbers to any test with the numbers button above the words.
Reach up from the home row with the finger that types the letter below each number, and come straight back. Looking down costs more time than a slow reach, because you lose your place in the text, so it is worth a few slow tests where you do not look at all. The results page marks the numbers you were slowest on, and the drill puts them into short words so you practise the reach in context.
Numbers matter in everyday typing more than people think: dates, prices, addresses, phone numbers and quantities all use them. A typist who is fast on letters but slow on numbers loses a lot of time in real documents.
The same finger as the letter below it: 1 is the left little finger, 5 and 6 the index fingers, 0 the right little finger. See the <a href="/keyboard/qwerty-finger-chart/">finger chart</a>.
