Students in grade 9 are usually 14 to 15 years old. A common goal for grade 9 is 40 to 45 WPM. At this stage the focus is typing whole essays without losing the thread of the idea.
Typically five paragraph essays and lab reports. These goals are rough guides that many teachers use. No national standard sets a number of words per minute for each grade, so your school may ask for something different.
A one minute test three times a week and a five minute test once a week.
Write the first draft by typing and keep editing for later. Stopping to fix every typo breaks your train of thought.
