Common mistakes

1. Counting dots — fix with higher character speed + Farnsworth gaps.
2. Only using charts — charts are reference; recognition comes from audio reps.
3. Skipping accuracy gates — adding letters while at 60% accuracy multiplies confusion pairs.
4. Never sending — keying teaches rhythm; copy-only learners often stall later.
5. Binge practice — 10 focused minutes daily beats a 3-hour weekend once.
6. Comparing to LCWO highscores on day two — track your own meters.
