I have a problem with touch typing as my fingers are very short......but I can type at speed of 25 wpm by looking at the key board.
Is that good enough to pass cs? or what should I do? how many words should be typed in each patient note? Please help me out I've also added a poll to see what you guys were up to! |

I'd say 25-30 Words per minute is good enough for the patient note.

There is considerable applicant-applicant variability. The best way to assess your speed is to download the patient note form from usmle.org and trying to type a patient note repeatedly while assessing how much time you need to complete it. Take into consideration the exam stress factor as well, as you will most probably need some extra time during the real exam

Hey guys.
I don't know the exact number, but being anxious myself about my typing speed, I thought I would practice the speed not just with the patient notes. And so I came across with a few websites that test your typing speed. They've helped me a lot. These are the ones that I use, and if you think about it, it's kind of like a game, so go ahead and have some fun while you improve your typing speed! ![]() http://www.wordsperminutetest.com http://speedtest.10fastfingers.com/ http://www.calculatorcat.com/typing_test/ |

Make sure that you type fast. This way, you will have ample time and confidence in finishing the patient note. Otherwise, you could be pressured to hurry your patient encounter to give additional time for your PN. This could compromise your encounter in terms of appearing confident and interested in the patient, as well as having a comfortable time to explain the diagnosis, plan, and closure. Better to maximize the quality of the patient encounter as SP's have the greater say in all of the components (doctors only grade the ICE).

I had a 95 wpm. I learned to type fast in http://www.typingstudy.com
It's very useful and it gives also a comparison of other sites as well - http://www.typingstudy.com/list_of_f...line_resources However, Typing Study has helped me the most. |
