Repeat, refresh, and advance decisions

One of the most important Typing Studio skills is not typing faster. It is choosing the right next action after a run.

Your three main choices

After or between runs, the tool gives you three different directions:

• Retry Same Paragraph
• Refresh
• Next in Set when a practice set is active

Each one serves a different purpose.

When to retry the same paragraph

Use Retry Same Paragraph when:

• you want a fair comparison on identical text
• the first run was careless
• you are working on accuracy and control

This is best when the content itself is not the problem, but your execution was.

When to refresh for a new paragraph

Use Refresh when:

• you want new text in the same length category
• the current paragraph is no longer teaching you anything
• you want freshness without changing the overall difficulty too much

Refreshing resets the current progress, so do it before starting a serious run if possible.

When to advance in a set

Use Next in Set when:

• the current practice item is complete
• the session has been saved
• you are following structured progression rather than isolated retries

A simple learner decision rule

Ask yourself this after every run:

1. Did I understand my mistakes?
2. Would repeating this exact paragraph help?
3. Am I training control or variety right now?

If you want control, retry. If you want variety, refresh. If you want structure, advance.
