Typing well makes computer-based exams easier. **Typing Lessons** teach you to type faster and more accurately. Open **Typing Lessons → Dashboard**.

## Setting up your keyboard

The first time, Surepass says **Keyboard not configured**. Type 5 keys and it works out your keyboard layout. Change it later from **Keyboard settings**.

## Your typing figures

**Best WPM**, **Avg WPM** (words per minute), **Minutes Typed** and **Lessons Done**, with a **WPM Progress** chart and your **Recent Sessions**.

## Where to start

- **Free Practice**: type at your own pace.
- **Structured Lessons**: row drills, passages and more.

Typing has nothing to do with your test or exam marks.
