Not sure about "official", but I've taken several different typing tests - this ones not half bad. I'd definitely consider it an easier one because they're giving you short words that have a 'qwerty' flow to them. The hard ones are filled with ridiculous grammar and proper nouns - though they give you an entire screens worth of typing in front of you so there is no confusion, with the exception that if you take your eyes off the screen for one second you will lose your place completely.
Keyboard placement is where ever you want it to be. I find it that I am fastest when I have the keyboard to the edge of the desk that way none of my arm wrests on anything. Not only am I a fast typer, but I am extremely loud... Everyone in my office complains/makes comments about me chattering away on the keyboard. I remember when I use to rope, you'd be able to hear it throughout 3/4ths of my parents house too lol.
I am exactly the same, except at work, I don't use computers at work, what's your style anyway? I don't even know what I am I haven't looked into this, I was actually surprised last week when I found out that I am above average which was cool, but anyway i'll break it down how I type if you are interested:
When I am typing my thumbs cross over to create a sort of "X" pattern on the space bar with my left being over my right, my left index rests on F my left middle on E my right index on J and my right middle on I, I only use the pinky for enter and left shift, i've noticed when I use backspace I use both my right pinky and ring finger, you got any tips to improve?
