   Error in Characters: Errors in characters calculate the percentage of characters typed incorrectly out of the
                   total number of characters typed.

                   Formula: Error (%)= (Characters with errors/ Total number of Characters ) × 100
                   Example: If you typed 500 characters and 20 were incorrect, your error rate would be (20/500) × 100=4%.

                    Error in Keystrokes: Errors in keystrokes measure the percentage of keystrokes that were incorrect out of
                   the total number of keystrokes made.
                   Formula: Error (%)= (Incorrect Keystrokes/ Total number of keystrokes ) × 100
                   Example: If you typed 400 keystrokes and 10 were incorrect, your error rate would be (10/400) × 100=2.5%.
                 Typing Rhythm

                 Typing rhythm describes the pattern and consistency in how someone types, encompassing both speed
                 and accuracy throughout a typing session. It reflects the fluidity and smoothness of keystrokes, transitions
                 between  letters, words,  and  sentences,  and  overall typing  pace.  To  control the  constant  typing  speed,
                 the Slowdown indicator is  used. The following points shows the different formula  for the Slowdown
                 (percentage slowdowns) calculation:
                    Slowdown in Words: Slowdown in words measures the percentage of words that were typed with a delay
                   or slower than usual out of the total number of words typed.
                   Formula: Slowdown (%)= (Words with delay/ Total number of words ) × 100
                   Example: If you typed 100 words and 10 were slower than your usual speed, your slowdown rate would be
                   (10/100) × 100=10%.
                    Slowdown  in Characters: Slowdown  in characters calculates the  percentage  of characters that  were
                   typed with a delay or slower than usual out of the total number of characters typed.
                   Formula: Slowdown (%)= (Characters with delay/ Total number of Characters ) × 100
                    Example: If you typed 500 characters and 25 were slower than your usual speed, your slowdown rate
                   would be (25/500) × 100=5%.
                    Slowdown in Keystrokes:  Slowdown  in keystrokes measures the  percentage  of keystrokes that  were
                   delayed or slower than usual out of the total number of keystrokes made.
                   Formula: Slowdown (%)= (Keystroke delay/ Total number of keystrokes) × 100

                   Example: If you typed 400 keystrokes and 20 were slower than your usual speed, your slowdown rate
                   would be (20/400) × 100=5%.

                     In this activity, take several typing tests using RapidTyping Tutor to evaluate your typing
                     skills.

                       Take three or four typing tests using RapidTyping Tutor.
                       Calculate the following metrics:
                          WPM: Calculate how many words you type in one minute based on your test results.
                          Accuracy in words: Find how many words you typed correctly.
                          Slowdown in characters: Find the total number of characters where your typing speed
                          was slower than average.
                          Error in keystrokes: Count the total number of mistakes made during your typing tests.
