Typing in the "Recall" section of lessons

My ponderous typing skills are affecting my point scores.One must type quite rapidly and accuratly to achieve 100% in the recall section of the exams. I do not have a problem in accuracy ,only in rapidity. Are there others here like me? Do you face the same dilemma?

I faced exactly the same problem as you did but perhaps for a different reason: I had to overcome a learning diffciculty ( correction difficulty) called Dyspraxia with co-ordination difficulties so I know how hard and fustrating it can be to struggle with having to combine accuracy with speed and so I have just had to work harder to get 100% on the other sections to compensate!

I know how frustrating it is I do feel for you confused long face red face

Perhaps the technical team here can devise a way that the timer can either:

1 Be switched on/ off manually with the recall section according to the need of the person using it

2 There can be different speeds introduced; fast slow and medium which the person taking the test can choose.

It wasn't until Uni that I had the chance to receive extra time on a test paper as part of my course. I am sure that beacuse (correction; because) I was easily distracted by noise and such like I underpeformed at school.

I hope this helps grin

I like your thought about slowing the response timer just a bit, It would be a great help . - pacofinkler, Dec 30, 2010

It is difficult to get 100% in the recall section - some of the words are longer, and have accents, which slows you a little....my main focus on recall is to get all of them correct and as fast as I can - I do not worry so much about the points....

Not only do I hunt and peck (and backspace, even in this short post), I have arthritis.
