Speed or accuracy is going to depend on the type of work you're doing.
If you're an administrative assistant, you probably don't do a great deal of straight typing anymore, so in the long run, it's more efficient to type accurately the first time.
However, if you're a transcriptionist, speed is of the utmost importance. You'll correct mistakes when you proof the final document, but you need to be able to keep up with the person dictating as much as possible in order not to lose time constantly rewinding and playing again.
In testing circumstances, if I've had a few minutes of practice first, I generally type around 70 net. I do data entry at around 13000 kph net.
Remember, when you take a typing test, they will usually factor in your mistakes to give you a "net" figure. So even if you type 80, if you have a bunch of mistakes, it'll drastically take your score downwards. On a test, type as fast as you can accurately.
