As a subway typist, the ability to type quickly is not enough to improve your record. Because you have to remember the spacing of station names, long names, the order of the next station, and the direction of travel, you need to practice to improve both accuracy and understanding of the route.
Focus on accuracy rather than speed at first
If you increase your speed from the beginning, it may take longer to fix a single typo. For the first two or three times, focus on steadying your typing rhythm and guessing the station name correctly, then naturally increase your speed only in the sections you are familiar with.
In particular, for long station names or stations with similar names, it is better to check the correct spelling and then repeat it rather than trying to type it without looking at the keyboard. As you accumulate accurate completion records, speed follows.
Divide routes based on transfer stations
If you memorize a long route as one piece from beginning to end, it is easy to get the order mixed up in the middle. It's much easier to remember the next station if you create small groups of three to six stations based on familiar points like transfer stations, major business districts, or river crossings.
It is also important to memorize the last station in one group and the first station in the next group. In reality, blockages are often at the border rather than inside the bundle, so try entering the front and back of the border station separately again.
Try running again instead of taking incorrect notes
It's good to write down the wrong station, but in the subway typing game, reviewing by retyping the same line is more direct. If you check the section where the wrong answer was given on the route map and try again from the beginning, the order and finger movements will remain.
It is less burdensome to repeat short runs several times rather than practicing for a long time every day. It is easy to compare results by dividing the roles into a warm-up for the first round, accuracy for the second round, and record challenge for the third round.
Increase difficulty by changing cities
If you are familiar with Seoul routes, try moving to other domestic cities such as Busan or Daegu or overseas cities such as Tokyo or New York. Even if you play the same way, the station name notation and route structure are different, requiring new concentration.
When practicing in an overseas city, make it your first goal to read the local station names and understand the order rather than the game records. If you choose a route you frequently use before your trip, you can see the names you learned in the game on real signs.
