TIPS  FOR  EARNING  THE  BEST  GRADE  Prescriptive  Keyboarding  (PK)  

1. It  is  good  practice  to  type  each  lesson  3  times  in  order  to  become  a  speedy  typist  and  earn  the  best  scores.  

2. Do  not  submit  for  grading  until  your  typing  accuracy  is  at  least  90%  or  higher.  Interactive  Video  Lessons  

3. Before  submitting  a  request  for  grading,  be  sure  you  have  a  passing  score.  Redo  the  video  to  improve  your  score.    

4. Pause  the  video  and  take  notes  especially  on  facts  you  did  not  know.  You  will  need  these  later!  Journal  Lessons  

5. Attend  the  live  lessons  and  review  sessions.  You  will  receive  extra  credit  for  attending.
