The Practice Test for Typing and Data Entry

Symbols Typing Practice

You will find most of the symbols on the top (numbers) row of keys on your keyboard. You type the symbol by holding down the shift-key while pressing the number. The numbers are challenging because you have to go up an extra row from the home-row, but the symbols are even more so because you have to use the other hand to hold the shift-key. The biggest part of the challenge can be finding the home row again after the symbol is typed. This tests combines numbers, letters and symbols to give you a workout that covers all of the unique challenges of typing symbols.
