Type the displayed passage in order. Backspace corrects the last character. Paste is disabled. Escape pauses. Control or Command plus Enter restarts. Leaving the input pauses the timer.
How to practise am and pm time
Read the suffix before moving to the next time. In these samples AM and PM are uppercase with a space before them. Some real systems use another style; follow the visible source for this exercise. Pay particular attention to 12:00 AM and 12:00 PM rather than treating the suffix as decoration.
What to check after a run
Review whether the error came from the digits, the space or the letter case. Alternate morning and evening examples slowly until the suffix remains part of your reading rhythm.

1. Find the pattern
8:05 AM 8:05 PM 12:00 AM 12:00 PM 9:40 AM 1:15 PM 6:30 AM 6:30 PM
2. Connect the movement
The practice calendar lists 10:20 AM for a draft review and 2:45 PM for a sample call. The reminder is set for 9:05 AM.
3. Apply it in context
Copy the fictional notice as written: doors open at 7:30 PM, the introduction starts at 8:00 PM and the final display closes at 10:15 PM. The next morning session begins at 9:00 AM. Keep each suffix with its own time.
