I couldn't get above 48 on the first one. In my defense, I hadn't had a computer for over a decade, and I am also typing on a ****ty laptop keyboard, while laying down on my bed. I can definitely do better normally, but I'm still clearly far below what I'd like to be. It also doesn't help that I am far too OCD to not try to fix my errors, which kills your word count more than it saves.
Edit: although on the practice test on that second link I just nailed 66. So that makes me feel better. I'm chalking it up to a lack of capital letters in that one. The Aesop thing was bull****. I consistently **** up when using the shift key.
