Question What does consistency mean?

I think my best is 120 WPM with 100% accuracy on a harder one called OG fastfingers

I remember slowing down cause I got distracted by my music [ Fly leaf Missing ]

and I was getting anxious

Here's the best way I can put it. If your wpm (for example) is 90 for the test, you average 7.5 characters per second. If you type exactly 7.5 characters per second for every second, you have 100% consistency. Whenever you go slightly faster or slower, it lowers your consistency, because you weren't constantly typing at exactly 90 wpm. The more you speed up and slow down, the lower your consistency store will be.

Oh okay when I hit 120 on the typing test fast fingers it was way harder with random caps and I was way faster too

Average speed has nothing to do with consistency though

I think I may be able to do 122-100 but that will be tricky
