Which fingers type the numbers?

Use the same finger as the letter below each number: left pinky for 1, ring for 2, middle for 3, index for 4 and 5; right index for 6 and 7, middle for 8, ring for 9, pinky for 0. Return to the home row after each reach.

Should I use the numpad instead?

For long numeric entry, yes; a 10-key pad is faster once learned. For mixed text, the number row is essential. We have a dedicated 10-key test for the numpad.

How is accuracy on numbers scored?

The same as letters: each digit is a character. Missed or wrong digits lower accuracy and net WPM, and the key heatmap shows which digits you miss most.

Number Typing Test

Words with numbers mixed in, so the number row gets real practice. Data-entry roles and exam passages with dates, prices and statistics all need this.
