Speed Builder - Alphasmart NEO2 SmartApplet User Manual

Speed Builder

KeyWords compares your accuracy (number of errors) to the passing criteria
(see page 5-13). If you don't meet the passing criteria, a message will tell you
to type more carefully so you make fewer mistakes, and you will not go to the
speed builder. Instead, you will go back to the screen where you can select
passages.
You had 20 errors. You will need 12 or fewer
to continue. Please type more carefully so you
make fewer mistakes.
If you meet the passing criteria, you will see a message like the one below, and
when you press the space bar, you will go on to the speed builder.
Nice job! You only made 1 error.
You are now ready for Speed Builder.
After you pass the accuracy activity, KeyWords gives you a speed builder
activity. You cannot go straight to the speed builder activity; it always starts
automatically after you pass the accuracy activity. Even if you've completed
the accuracy activity before, you must go through it again before you can work
on the speed builder.
KeyWords shows you your goal before the activity, and afterwards, it shows
you whether you met the goal. (To set goals, see page 5-13.) Goals are based
on the number of words you type per minute. Type the text on the screen and
press the space bar when asked to do so.
When you finish the activity, a message will show you whether you met your
goal. If you met your goal, you will see a message like this:
Way to go! Your typing rate was 20
words per minute. Your goal rate was
8 words per minute. You passed!
