Technique is everything at this length. At 4 minutes, good habits hold and bad habits crack. If you find yourself looking at the keyboard, tensing your wrists, or slowing dramatically, fix the root cause — not your speed.

Breathe normally. Many people unconsciously hold their breath or breathe shallowly when concentrating. A calm, steady breathing rhythm helps maintain focus over the full 4 minutes.

Use this to test your technique limits. Compare your WPM here to your 1-minute score. If it drops more than 10–15%, your technique isn't fully internalized yet — it still requires conscious effort that fades over time.

Keep your shoulders down. Four minutes of raised shoulders or tensed neck leads to soreness and degraded typing. Periodically check your posture without breaking your rhythm.

Accept 1–2 error words per minute as normal. Perfect accuracy over 4 minutes is a high bar. Focus on a steady net WPM rather than obsessing over every mistake.
