Typing Skills (Excerpt From Steps to Becoming a Medical Secretary)

    

When I applied for the job as a medical secretary, I had to take a typing test. Now I already knew how to type because I am a writer, but I still had to take the test. And depending on the company you are applying to, you may have to meet a 35-wpm typing requirement. 

The typing test will measure your typing speed, your proficiency, your comprehension, and your spelling. The typing test may also test your knowledge of Word and Excel.
