I've tested several times between 9,000 - 10,000 KPH on 10-key numerical data entry tests. However, I have no idea how good or bad this is? Is there a standard by which a prospective employer would want for a minimum KPH for a data entry job?

I have not been able to find anything on the internet, except for more 10-key tests, even though I've searched in several ways under different keywords and phrases.

Hi, P Eugene!

9,000 to 10,000 KPH is really quite good if the accuracy was also near 100 percent.

Most temp places that I know of want someone to be at least at 5,000 to 6,000 KPH and some jobs for data entry that I've seen, the employers want people to be at least 9,000 KPH on up.

Thanks, Clough! Yes, my accuracy is very good at that speed.

This is good to know, since I hope to do temp work while I continue my job search.

Thanks, P Eugene!

How I know what some employers require is by what I've read in the newspaper and by what I've found online.
