Typing speed

Hi, how many WPM should one be able to type for f8 exam? I'm currently around 35-40 WPM and wondering if this is ok

You don't need any speed for the AA exams - 30% of the exam has no typing. The average length of a sentence in the model answers for a "risks" Q, say, is 22 words (a students' sentences should be shorter than this). You have 125 minutes in which to answer Section B - you could type 70 sentences with 12.8 WPM ... you absolutely don't need speed - it's much better to "THINK - before you type" - and certainly the marker does not want to have to read pages and pages of type in search of relevant answer points.

@loken7777 - absolutely no idea but I don't think it's something you should worry about. It's always better to think more and write less.
