How can reading slightly ahead of where you type help?
Answer: It keeps your typing flow continuous
Reading a few words ahead lets your fingers keep moving without stopping.

Answer: It lets fingers find keys automatically
Developed muscle memory allows fingers to reach keys without conscious effort, boosting speed.
If the timer ends mid-passage, what typically determines your score?
Answer: The amount and accuracy of text typed so far
Your score reflects how much you typed and how accurately within the allotted time.
Why is consistent finger placement more reliable than hunt-and-peck typing?
Answer: It builds repeatable, faster keystrokes
