How is a repeated word counted in typing?

A repeated word in typing is counted as one error because the typing standard recognizes that although the word appears more than once in the text, it is considered a single mistake in terms of accuracy. The typing proficiency assessments typically focus on the accuracy of each unique word, meaning that regardless of how many times a word is repeated, it does not compound the error count; it is recorded once. This means that if a word is typed inaccurately, it will result in a single error being counted, even if it appears multiple times in the text. Therefore, the correct approach is to count repeated words only once when evaluating typing performance or accuracy.
