HOW TO PREPARE FOR A CANADIAN TYPING TEST: TIPS AND TRICKS?
Typing tests are a big part of job applications in Canada especially for administrative, clerical and data entry positions. Employers use these tests to measure typing speed and accuracy, two important factors for managing information. Preparing for a Canadian keyboarding skills certificate test goes beyond just practice. It’s about improving your typing technique, being accurate and building confidence to perform under pressure. Having the right strategy can help you improve your typing skills. By doing so you’ll increase your chances of passing the test.
Understand the Test Requirements Before you start preparing it’s important to understand the requirements of the typing test. Employers may have different standards for typing speed and accuracy. Most Canadian typing tests measure words per minute (WPM) and track the number of errors. Office jobs in Canada generally require a typing speed of 40 to 50 WPM with high accuracy. Some tests may also include extra tasks like typing from audio or transcribing specific formats. Knowing the test format will help you direct your practice to the right areas. If possible get a sample test or guidelines from the employer to know what to expect.
