9. Practice Timings are Repeated Until the Skill is Learned SPEED RECORDED!! NO ERRORS!! With keyboarding it is very important that students learn the keys before moving on to learn new ones. Students should strive to practice each exercise until they meet their “A” grade goal. Although the best three speeds of all attempts record, students have an unlimited number of practice attempts. (Competency-based Instruction)
