Use a comfortable position. QWERTY home-row markers are F and J; keypad reference is 5. This diagram does not detect your fingers, posture or physical keyboard layout.

WHO IT HELPS

Train a useful work skill.

For data-entry applicants, accounting assistants and office staff who use a physical numeric keypad.

How to practice

Turn on Num Lock. Place your middle finger near the raised mark on 5. Use a comfortable posture and type eight amounts before reviewing the result.

Common mistakes

Watch decimal placement, omitted zeros and digit reversals. Keep Num Lock on. A number-row run and a keypad run are different conditions.

Suggested training time

Start with 5–10 minutes. Take breaks and stop if typing causes discomfort. Accurate input comes before speed.

Common questions

Does this certify my 10-key ability?

No. This is personal practice, not a certificate or employer-approved assessment.

What if my keyboard has no numeric keypad?

Use Number Typing Practice for the top number row. This page accepts those keys, but a number-row score does not measure physical keypad skill.

How is keypad speed measured?

Submitted characters per second are multiplied by 3,600 to estimate KPH. Correct KPH counts characters remaining after final-value edits; the report shows both.
