I would have to say most of the world's typing speed is lacking extremely bad. I know so many people that I use to go to high school with that type less than 30 Words per minutes, but don't feel bad if you are included.
Do you want to learn how to type faster and correct? Going to college, yet still type very slow, but want to type faster for the tons of essays that you are going to be doing (yes, you will be doing a lot of essays and writing.)
This may sound like a odd approach, but try it. When you are typing, if you notice you are typing, yet keep having to backspace, because of mistakes. Try slowing your typing down. It's easier to speed your typing up, than it is to type correct. Keep your hands on homes row (a,s,d,f,g,h,j,k,l,;). This will improve your typing, by just keeping your hands on home row (implying you are using a qwerty keyboard)
There are tons of games and stuff you can do to improve typing.

This is a fun game and will improve your reaction and typing speed.
Can you beat my score?
In some programs I can type over 120+ words per minute, while this game seems to be lower. I think it's mainly due to the fact the combination of words. I don't know. I have be timed at score at over 120 wpm.
I hope this helps, again, have any questions just contact me or post in comments.
