What does a typing test measure?
A typing test measures how many words per minute (WPM) you can type and how accurately. By convention one word equals five characters, so the speed does not depend on how long the individual words are.
This test counts only correctly typed words toward your WPM. Words with a mistake add to your raw speed but not to the net score, and accuracy shows the share of typed characters that were correct.
How to take the test
- Choose a duration (15, 30, 60 or 120 seconds) and click into the box.
- Type the highlighted word and press space to move to the next one. The timer starts with your first keystroke.
- When time is up, read your WPM and accuracy and press Try again (or Tab) to improve your score.
Frequently asked questions
- What is a good typing speed?
- Most people type 35–45 WPM. Above 60 WPM is fast, and professional typists reach 80 WPM or more. Accuracy matters as much as speed.
- How is WPM calculated?
- Net WPM = correctly typed characters (including spaces) divided by five, divided by the test length in minutes. Wrong words do not count.
- Is my score stored or uploaded?
- Only your best score is kept in your own browser. Nothing is sent to a server.
