Data entry test -NHS

Options
Have been offered an interview for Admin role for Nhs and have been advised that I will also have to take a data entry test. Has anyone done one of these? Is there anything available online that is similar so I can practice before attending? Job spec just stated that you had to be able to use office, I'm hoping that they do not require you to be a touch typist.

    An admin role probably needs to know how to import/export information between excel/word, mail-merge, formatting columns, using textboxes and images.

    Just google up typing speed test and you'll get hundreds of websites with these tests. Average typist is 40 words per minute. Most typing related jobs ask for 50-60wpm, and if you're a secretary in a competitive firm, it's often 80wpm+. Some people claim to type over 100wpm with perfect accuracy but that's a bunch of lies.
