Notes on this level
What this level is training
This level does not introduce a new key. It drills the right index, left pinky, left middle, right thumb, left ring, left index, right middle, right ring, right pinky fingers on keys you have already met, at a target of 46 words per minute and 95.9% 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.
