For exams and job tests
Data entry, transcription and secretary positions often ask for a typing certificate based on a five minute test. Practicing with the same length helps you get used to the pressure and to keep accuracy high until the end.
Turn on punctuation and numbers to make the text closer to real documents, where capital letters, commas and figures slow you down.
Reading the chart
A flat line means a steady pace. Dips usually come from difficult words or a mistake that broke your rhythm; small dips are normal, long drops show where to take a short break during practice.
