Computer input competitions

The "Everyday Computer Typing Contest" is a competition to see how fast and accurately you can type on the keyboard. The tasks are divided for each grade level, so anyone can participate, no matter how old they are.
The assignments can be practiced using the free "Assignment Practice Software," which is the same content as the real competition. Practice leads to results, so you can earn a higher grade for the effort you put in.
The Mainichi PC Typing Contest has two main categories. The first is the "typing competition," which requires correct fingering, accuracy, and speed. The second is a division that aims to improve basic academic skills and typing, such as Kanji, calculation, and English vocabulary. Let's take the category you think you need.

kyu-dan certificate

In the competition, the contestants must type on a computer within a time limit, and the more characters they type, the higher the score. However, if there are too many input errors, the contestant will be certified as "10-kyu-B" or lower. After the test, all contestants receive a certificate ranging from "10-kyu-E" to "Judan" according to their score. As for the input method, we recommend that you use romaji, but you can also participate in the contest using kana.
As a beginner, it is important to learn the basics of typing on a computer. There is a "home position," which is the basic position for typing with the proper fingers on the keyboard, and there is a test to check the "home position" in the daily computer input contest.
If you are able to type, it is the first step toward mastering the computer as a tool. Why don't you try the contest to improve your typing skills?
