Cycle 2 Notes


CYCLE OVERVIEW
In the second cycle, you will repeat the process of cycle one. If you have 5 errors or less in your second timing, take the diagnostic test. This test consists of ten 1- minute timings. No editing is allowed and Word Wrap is off . For added practice on a blank screen, click on the Corrective Practice button from the Main Menu and select Misspelled Words. In this practice screen, word wrap is off, editing is disabled, and activities are untimed and unscored.
Always proofread or view your timings. Never take timing after timing. This is a Prescriptive program that works in cycles to increase accuracy and speed.
