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 numeric ranges
Read the start and end independently. These exercises use a short hyphen between endpoints, with no spaces inside a numeric range. That choice keeps the keyboard target simple; it is not a rule for every style guide. Do not fill in missing values or shorten a repeated prefix.
What to check after a run
Check the second endpoint before leaving a range. Many plausible mistakes preserve the start but change the span. The visible text is the only scoring reference.

1. Find the pattern
12-18 24-42 105-150 0.5-1.5 08-12 301-310 64-96 7-17
2. Connect the movement
Read pages 14-19, copy samples 021-028 and label boxes 104-140. The practice note includes a range of 2.25-3.75 units.
3. Apply it in context
The mock catalogue groups cards 006-016 on one shelf and cards 060-106 on another. Copy each full range rather than abbreviating its end. A final reference says pages 208-218; keep all three digits on both sides of the hyphen.
