The results should be read with some caution. The sample was drawn from a single institution, and participation was voluntary, which may have favoured students who were already confident with the task. A larger multi-site study would be needed before generalising the findings.

Notes on this level
What this level is training
This level does not introduce a new key. It drills the left index, right pinky, right index, left middle, right thumb, left ring, right ring, left pinky, right middle fingers on keys you have already met, at a target of 46 words per minute and 96.1% accuracy.
Speed at this stage comes from removing hesitation rather than from moving faster. If your accuracy is above the target but your speed is not, the gap is almost always time spent deciding, not time spent pressing.
