Mines like 35. I know, that’s really bad. For those of you who don’t know, WPM stands for words per minute. It’s how fast you can type. You can take the test to find out here: [Typing Test · Check your Speed and Practice, WPM](http://www.keyhero.com/typing-tests-wpm/) ---

I type well enough to suit me. I liken this to questions like “How long does your yoyo sleep?” ---

I’ve been meaning to switch over to Dvorak as well, but the thing I’m worried about is that I’ll forget QWERTY 😢 Is it similar to learning 2nd languages? Like, being able to easily switch back and forth? ---

YEaaaa! power to you! I think it was second year of high school that I switched over for fun (wrote my paper in it, and that helped a lot). I’m actually not sure if it really increased my words per minute, but it was definitely fun and interesting to do something funky. I’m doing about 108 wpm with 95-100% accuracy if the test isn’t funky (I mean not funky by the text being closer to what I type daily). Not too shabby, but I always wonder how people get to the 200’s… -Swilly [Next page](https://forums.yoyoexpert.com/t/whats-your-wpm/23506.md?page=2)
