How are typing test errors counted? Can you fix errors, or once typed do they count as an error?
Asked by QuestionGirl
I am taking a test for a school district. I have to get a 50 WPM score with less than 5 errors. Does this mean I can use the delete key to fix errors as I go? Or does it mean anytime I mess up, regardless of whether or not I went back and fixed it, it counts against me?

Best Answer:
It depends on the particular test you're taking. Some tests are scored only on what percentage you actually get completed, others are scored on how you do as you go along. You'd have to ask the people running this test, or find out what test software they use and how it's scored.
