Windows Vista and later provide a Control Panel to configure update settings and check for updates. The Windows Update Control Panel also has the function of downloading Windows Ultimate Extras, optional software for Windows Vista Ultimate Edition.
For example, a score of 53 words per minute with 15 errors would be lower on the list than a score of 53 words per minute with 2 errors. THE RESULTS Figure 1 shows the distribution of all typing speed scores. Since our Mean was 40 and our Median 38, our statistically average typist is between 38 and 40 WPM. Someone who typed 56 is in the top 20% of all typists in the sample. A score of 65 is in the top 10% of the sample.
The Fastest Typing Speed. The highest typing speed ever recorded was 216 words per minute (wpm), set by Stella Pajunas in 1946, using an IBM electric typewriter. Currently, the fastest English language typist is Barbara Blackburn, who reached a peak typing speed of 212 wpm during a test in 2005, using a Dvorak simplified keyboard. The average wpm speed is only 41.4 words in one minute. This is far below the speeds of the record holders, or even the speeds that are needed to be successful in the working world. However, it is considered a good typing speed. Who Types Faster? The average typing speed for boys is 44 words per minute.
