Most advice is to start correctly with proper touch typing, and then focus on accuracy and rhythm.
If you got to 100 wpm by that route all you can do is keep practising, maybe with a metronome. (Although that's going to be a horrible noise at that speed).
If you ever look at the keys that's going to slow you down, so use a cloth over your hands to hide the keys.
The other problem is that typing tests require you to read. Try typing some spoken word - try typing a podcast or radio show. You may find you type that faster.
