Typing for medical transcription and scribe jobs

Medical transcription and medical scribe roles often include a typing test during hiring. Requirements differ between employers, so check the job listing for the speed, test length and accuracy they expect. In clinical documentation accuracy matters most: a wrong dose or a misspelled drug name is a real error, not just a typo.

The notes here are fictional practice texts, written to look like real documentation. They are not medical advice and don't describe real patients.

What makes medical typing hard

  • Long terminology such as gastroenterology or echocardiogram, which is easy to misspell at speed.
  • Numbers and units: 500 mg, 142/88 mmHg, 98.6 F. Every digit has to be right.
  • Abbreviations and capitals like HEENT, typed exactly as they appear.

Tips for a medical typing test

  • Start with the terminology drill to get the long words into your fingers.
  • Read each sentence ahead so dosages and numbers don't catch you off guard.
  • Aim for 98% accuracy or better before chasing speed. Check yours on the data entry test too, which mixes numbers and names.
  • Data Entry Test – Practice for a data entry test with realistic records: names, addresses, order numbers, amounts and dates. Get your WPM, KPH and accuracy.
  • Practice Paragraphs – Practice typing real paragraphs and short stories, from easy to hard with numbers and punctuation. Pick a paragraph and see your WPM.
  • Typing Certificate – Take a free typing test and print a typing certificate with your WPM and accuracy. Learn when you need an official, proctored certificate.
  • Average Typing Speed – What is the average typing speed, and what counts as a good WPM? A plain guide to typing speeds from 30 to 100+ WPM, with a quick test.
