MAP (Misstroke Analysis and Prescription) analyzes 75 different types of accuracy problems, identifies YOUR top four accuracy problems, and then prescribes a list of individual, corrective drills tailor made just for you. These drills are designed to correct your keyboarding weaknesses and help you avoid making similar errors in the future.

After you take the Pretest, type all Prescriptive Drills once. You will be automatically returned to the Lessons menu when you are finished with all four Prescriptive drills to continue working on the lesson. If you want to continue working on accuracy, take a new Pretest and continue through the MAP routine one more time.

Diagnostic Practice: Alphabet or Numbers

Diagnostic Practice: Alphabet or Numbers drills are not timed drills. Just type the entire paragraph once pushing moderately for speed. For the best results, try to type the paragraph "normally" so that your typical errors will be identified. Click Continue when you have finished typing the entire paragraph. 
 

Progressive Practice: Alphabet or Numbers

In any Progressive Practice: Alphabet or Numbers drills, try to type the 1-minute timing with 3 errors maximum pushing moderately for speed.
 

Paced Practice

In the first Paced Practice drill, you will begin by taking a 1-minute entry timing. Try to finish the lines in 1 minute with 2 errors maximum pushing moderately for speed. If you finish the lines before time is up, press Enter and repeat them until time is up.

The 1-minute entry timing will be followed by a series of 2-minute timings based on the speed you achieved in the entry timing. You will see 8 red boxes highlighting a letter indicating where you should be typing in 15-second intervals. You will try to "pace" yourself so that when you type for 15 seconds, you will reach the first red square you see on the timing copy. When each 15-second interval is up, the red square disappears. Try to slow down or speed up so that the squares disappear just when you reach them.

For example, in the timing below, the goal is 22 wpm. If you "pace" your typing at 22 wpm, when you type the "a" in "attitude" in the first line, the red square over the "a" will disappear just as you reach that point in the timing.
