62-C, 5-Minute Timed Writing, 40/5e

Click the Help icon. In the new browser window for Instant Help, click View All Entries. In the left pane under Sections, click Timed Writings; in the right pane under Timed Writings, click View Instructions. In the left pane under Sections, click Lesson Features; in the right pane, click View Instructions under Speed and Accuracy Goals, Scoring, Scored and Unscored Exercises, and Speed Calculation.

Note: When you take the 5' timed writing, the timer starts when you press the first keystroke. If you finish the line before the time is up, press Enter and continue typing until time is up. If your error limit is 3, you are not penalized for making any errors up to 3. If you meet the goal in either of the two timed writings and have typing by touch (without looking) using correct fingering, you have mastered the lesson and are ready to continue to the next lesson.

Timed Writing Goals

The timed writing at the end of each lesson is the measure of your success on the lesson, so pay attention to your results and compare them to the goal listed.

	The goal in Lesson 62 is to type at least 40 wpm (complete through Line 37) in 5 minutes with a maximum of 5 errors on either one of the two timed writings you are required to take.
	In this first attempt, the speed goal of 40 wpm was not met; even though the 5-error limit was met, the timed writing should be repeated.
	In this second attempt, the speed goal of 40 wpm was met; however, the 5-error limit was exceeded; therefore, remedial (review) practice is needed before continuing to the next lesson.
In this third attempt, the speed and error goal were both met; therefore, the student should continue to the next lesson.

Remediation and Review

If you don't believe the timed writing results are an accurate reflection of your skill (maybe you were overly nervous), repeat the two timed writings again. If you still don't meet the goals, try this:

• If you believe you are using incorrect fingering, visit the MAP+ Skillbuilding page, Intensive Practice link for steps to resolve this.
• When you are finished reviewing, repeat the timed writings to assess your success. You should be able to meet the timed writing goals at this point. If you still can't, see me for help.

Correspondence 62-59, E-Mail Message

	Tips:
The Attention icon in the left panel warns you about e-mail hyperlink behavior in Word. Review the Word Manual, Lesson 25, page 40, step 6, for more details on AutoCorrect�Hyperlink

63-B, MAP+: Numbers

Up to now, you have used MAP+ for additional skillbuilding drills and alphabet diagnostics. In this lesson, you will use MAP+: Numbers. This routine begins with a diagnostic pretest that includes a combination of number and alphabet keystrokes followed by a diagnostic analysis of up to 80 different types of misstrokes for that pretest. MAP+ then displays a list of prescriptive drills for you to type to address your specific keystroking weaknesses. This diagnostic program is unique to GDP and is an extremely powerful tool that helps pinpoint your keystroking weaknesses and provides customized prescriptive drills to fix them. See Map & Skillbuilding, Diagnostics for details.

Report 63-34, Business Report

	Tips:
When you review the business report on page R-8A for proper format, note that although the report displayed on R-8A is for a multipage report, the first page of the multipage report shows the same format as the one-page report you are typing in this job.

Report 63-35, Academic Report

Tips:

When you review the multipage academic report on page R-8C�D for proper format, note especially the difference in spacing used in the body of the report. Review Lesson 34, Line Spacing, in the Word Manual for steps to change line spacing. See Lesson 32, Page Number, in the Word Manual on pages 52-54 to review adding a page number in multipage documents. When you study the two exclamatory notes in the left panel on page 243 regarding the correct formatting for (1) hyphens followed by more text and (2) the conversion of electronic references enclosed by angle brackets to hyperlinks, refer to Lesson 25, page 40, step 5, and Lesson 49, page 99, AutoCorrect�Hyperlink in the Word Manual respectively for additional detail.
