3. Symbols & Special Characters

Email addresses, URLs, and formulas rely on symbols that live above the number row and need a firm Shift reach. This lesson drills them in realistic context.

Focus: @, #, $, %, ^, &, *, (, ), -, _, =, +. Type the drill below at a pace where you can stay accurate. Reaching 95% accuracy marks this lesson complete and unlocks the next one in the sequence.

Symbol keys are the least-practiced keys on most people's keyboards, simply because they show up far less often than letters. That means the deliberate repetition in a drill like this one is doing more relative work than the same amount of practice on common letters would.

This is lesson 3 of 5 in the intermediate course. These lessons assume you're already comfortable with the full alphabet, numbers, and basic punctuation from the beginner track; if any of that still feels shaky, it's worth revisiting those lessons first, since intermediate drills build directly on that foundation without re-teaching it.
