College Prep

If you don’t already know how, get a handle on typing. Being able to type fast and
accurately helps to keep you up to speed with your classmates and better
prepares you for college.

You can take a typing class at your high school as an elective to really hone your
skills. The old “hunt and peck” method may have worked for your parents, but it
certainly won’t work for you. With term papers, essays and applications to fill out,
you’ll need to have a good typing speed to keep up with the workload.

Remember: practice makes perfect. Don’t worry if you’re not flying through page
after page right away. After a few months of diligent practicing you’ll be a pro,
and ready to tackle anything with a word processor.
