====WPM Timing====
In this section, you type a series of sentences that are presented one at a time on the screen. You are timed as you type each sentence, and a report screen then indicates your average typing speed in words per minute (WPM).
Press 1 while the Diagnostic selection list is displayed, and read the instructions that appear on the screen. Press any key to leave the instruction screen when you are ready to begin typing sentences.
Type each sentence exactly as it is shown at the top of the screen, pressing '''ENTER''' at the end of each line of the sentence. If you made more than one error while typing the sentence, your typed lines are erased, but your average WPM score is not affected.
When you have typed the sentence with no more than one error, your typing speed (WPM) is displayed. Press any key when you are ready for the next sentence.
If you make an error before ending the line you are typing, you can press '''CLEAR''' to erase the line. Or you can restart the entire sentence by pressing '''ENTER''' several times until what you typed has been erased. Then, begin typing again.
When you have completed four sentences, your approximate WPM is displayed, along with a recommended Target WPM. Press '''ENTER''' to select this target, or type in your own Target WPM and then press '''ENTER'''.
