Hi Zen888,

I would say 35 is a "low" speed.

My typing speed used to be in the low 60's after taking a typing class, and that was considered "high-end of medium" according to the instructor. Now I can type in the mid 40's - high 50's with few errors, and I would considered that medium speed.

Hard to say what is slow or fast speed as it depends on the employer or whoever is grading your test, and what their expectations are. There are many people in the computer industry who can type 100+ wpm, and secretaries/court typists 80+ wpm...now, that's fast!

Are you taking the keyboarding test for a job or school?
