Could you be a medical transcriptionist?

I found this typing test online. How fast can you type?

My first try I got...
Gross Words Per Minute (GWPM): 97
Net Words Per Minute (NWPM): 95

Just proves I'm on the computer way too much!

Gross Words Per Minute (GWPM): 60
Net Words Per Minute (NWPM): 57

I don't type very fast, I guess...

 

[coasterphil]

Gross Words Per Minute (GWPM): 64
Net Words Per Minute (NWPM): 62


I thought I'd be able to do a little better than that.

 

[Number_6]

Better than I thought. I used to be about 45 WPM:

Gross Words Per Minute (GWPM): 63
Net Words Per Minute (NWPM): 62

 

[lunalovegoddess]

Okay: I got 47 for both, but my question is how fast should I be able to type? I took a medical transcription course a few years back and my typing skills were much better, at least 60 wpm.

I can type very fast, just not so well under pressure.
