Unless you type "extremely slow" I wouldn't worry about your typing.
I never worried about typing faster and have never believed in using aliases
(I always prefer defaults as a general [not absolute] rule).
I would focus my time on being able to quickly come up with a plan after
reviewing the requirements and then executing that plan efficiently [with as
much knowledge as possible regarding the subject matter] as you have done so
many times before in the lab.
Just my thoughts.
