TO THE S T U D E NT
Ten-Key Skill Builderfor Computers, in 10 to 15 hours, will give
you a mastery of the Computer ten-key numeric keypad. The ten-
key numeric keypad is used to input numbers in a wide variety of
electronic machines, such as Computers, calculators, cash regis-
ters, and bank proofing machines.
Ten-Key N u m e r i c Touch M a s t e r y
When you complete this coursc, you will have learned the
ten-key numeric touch method that is used to operate machines
in business now and machines that will be used in the future.
Computer ten-key numeric keypads are fast, aecurate, and
easy to use when operated properly. Therefore, it is important to
learn and use only the ten-key touch method from the beginning,
rather than looking at the keypad and striking all keys with the
same finger. With proper practice, the touch method is faster,
more aecurate, and uses less head and hand movement in com-
parison with "hunting and pecking."
PREFACE

1. Short, clear instructions with illustrations showing how to mas-
ter the touch method.
2. A new method of measuring your speed and accuracy using
Strokes a Minute (SAM) and Errors a Minute (EAM) similar to

3. A variety of Warm-Up Drills, Speed Drills, Accuracy Drills, and
Technique Drills that will give you a chance to improve each
time you work a drill.
4. SAM and EAM Graphs on which the Computer will chart your
progress throughout the course.
5. A Computer Ten-Key Numeric Keypad Proficiency Certificate
signed by your teacher that you can present to a prospective

ACCURACY DRILLS: A THROUGH E
As you work each accuracy drill on the following page, concen-
trate only on accuracy; ignore speed. You will hear a beep if you
make an error; emphasis is on accuracy in these drills. If you make
an error, you must continue the problem to the end and then
repeat it.
Choose Accuracy Drills from the Job 4 submenu. You will
work each drill in order from Drill A to Drill E. Strike the Enter
Key to choose OK If necessary, refer to the Speed Drill instructions
for quitting a drill and beginning with a drill other than Drill A.
DriUA
Your speed should be reduced because no key is adjacent to the
next key in any addend. Work the problem until you complete it
without an error.
Drill B
This problem contains digits within addends that have similar
configurations. For example, rounded digits (3, 6, 0, 9) and
straight digits (1, 4, 7). Your speed should be reduced because you
must distinguish between similar digits. Work the problem until
you complete it without an error.
Drill C
This problem contains handwritten digits. Because they are some-
what difficult to read, you will need to reduce your speed. Work
the problem until you complete it without an error.
JOB 4 Technique, Speed, and Accuracy Drills
Drill D
Concentrate on accuracy with stamina. Keep your eyes on the dig-
its in the problem. Work the problem until you complete it without
an error. Even though the Computer will beep to let you know you
made an error, you will still have to complete the entire problem
before repeating it.
Drill E
Drill E consists of five problems.
1. Work Problem 1.
a. If you make no errors, continue to step 2.
b. If you make an error, repeat the problem. Repeat
Problem 1 until you can complete it without making an
error.
2. Work Problems 2 through 5 following the procedure in
step 1. For example, if you make an error in Problem 4, the
Computer will beep. Complete Problem 4 and then repeat
Problem 4.
After you complete Problem 5 in Drill E, strike the n Key to
Cancel the Accuracy Drill dialog box and return to the Job 4 sub-
menu. Strike the Esc Key to return to the Jobs menu.

Technique Date
Getting Ready
1. Clears the desk of everything except materials needed for
operating the Computer.
2. Places the keyboard in a position that allows the wrist and hand to be
parallel to the keypad and allows the greatest freedom of finger
movement over the keypad.
3. Sits in a comfortable, erect position with feet flat on the floor for
proper balance and minimum fatigue.
4. Holds the operating arm with the wrist straight.
5. Curves the fingers of the operating hand.
Entering Numbers
1. Strikes each key with a firm, quick stroke.
2. Uses a rhythmic, bouncy touch.
3. Does not pause between strokes.
4. Keeps eyes on the book and uses the touch method. Does not
look at the keypad of the keyboard.
5. Strikes keys at a fast rate to increase SAM.
6. Strikes keys at a comfortable rate to keep EAM at .33 or less.
Proving and Verifying Answers
1. Checks the screen against the original problem.
2. Proves the answers in the prescribed manner.
Attitude
1. Enthusiastic about learning.
2. Optimistic about improving.
3. Confident about success.
4. Alerl but relaxed.

APPENDIX C

S P E E D DRILL RECORD

Choose Speed DHU Record from the Reports menu. Determine your progress by comparing your SAM scores for each speed drill. For
example, Drill A SAM is probably higher than Drill E SAM because Drill A has:
1. less strokes,
2. less digits in each addend, and
3. many similar digits adjacent to each other.
The Drill A SAM is probably your maximum speed capacity for striking keys. As you get to know the location of each digit on the
keypad and increase your finger dexterity, your SAM for Drill E will increase and become closer to your high SAM for Drill A. If your
score does not improve the next time you work Drill E, concentrate on techniques that will improve your speed, such as using a rhyth-
mic, bouncy touch.
After viewing your scores, strike the Tab Key and then the Enter Key to print your Speed Drill Record. To return to the Jobs
menu, strike the Tab Key, then the Enter Key, then the Left Arrow Key.

CRITERIA FOR DETERMINING STROKES AND ERRORS ON THE TEN-KEY NUMERIC TEST
1. General Rules
a. The number of strokes to count for a problem cannot exceed the number of strokes (50) in the original problem.
b. Count one error per addend.
Type of Error Strokes Counted Errors Counted
2. Incorrect Entries
a. Enters incorrect addend twice. 0 1 for first incorrect addend; 1 for
repetition.
b. Enters incorrect addend then Only strokes for correct addend. 1 for incorrect addend.
enters correct addend.
c. Enters incorrect addend. Deduct strokes for omitted digits; 1
count strokes for added digits.
3. Omissions
a. Omits entire problem. 0 1 for Omission.
b. Omits an addend. Deduct all strokes in omitted addend. 1 for each addend omitted.
c. Partially completed problem:
(1) When test time is over. All strokes entered. All committed; no error for not
completing problem.
(2) When the problem is not the final All All committed; 1 for stopping.
problem for the attempt and the
Student either strikes the Enter Key
twice, stops and Starts over, or
continues to the next problem.
d. Omits the remaining addends in the final All 0
problem, then strikes the Enter Key twice.

4. Additions and/or Repeats

a. Enters correct addend twice. 0 strokes for extra addend. 1 for repetition.
b. Repeats entire problem. All strokes for both problems. 1 for repetition; all errors in both problems.
