Where can you find a sample test to assess data entry skills?

Sites such as Dataentrytests.com, Gonnatype.com and Official-Typing-Test.com offer free typing tests that assess speed and accuracy. Some tests assess general alpha-numeric keyboarding skills while some only assess facility in using a 10-key numeric pad.

Some tests are similar to what one would encounter in specific job environments like an emergency dispatch unit, a lawyer's office or a bank. Some tests are timed to end in one, three or five minutes. These practice tests help you prepare for the actual job interview when you may be asked to take a practical typing test. These sites also provide helpful tips on how to improve your typing skills.
