- What it measures
- The calculation assumes steady daily practice with no breaks, and assumes the same training rate as the GSA study.
- How it is calculated
- 100 hours / 0.5 hours per day = 200 days
- What it does not show
- A calculation to show scale, not a prediction for any one person. Practice time per day and the amount of typing done in ordinary work change the result.
