EllieKthePA · 10/04/2007 00:01

might have to look at this when it's not so late

took an NVQ in Admin level 3 last year on the insistence of work, had to learn to touch type to a speed of 60wpm, but it didn't matter how many errors there were, just that i typed 60 words. WTF? how does that prove anything other than i can write total gobbledygook quickly

TwirlyN · 10/04/2007 00:01

I only just scrapped the exam with 25 wpm!!

Oblomov · 10/04/2007 00:02
