How to take the typing test

  1. Pick a length: 30 seconds, 60 seconds, or 2 minutes.
  2. Click the box and start typing the passage. The clock starts with your first key.
  3. Correct letters turn bright, mistakes turn red. Backspace to fix them — fixed errors still count against accuracy.
  4. When time runs out you get your net WPM, accuracy, and your best score.

How WPM is calculated

One “word” is counted as 5 characters, including spaces, which is the standard used by typing tests. WPM = correctly typed characters ÷ 5 ÷ minutes elapsed. Accuracy = correct keystrokes ÷ all keystrokes. Average adults type around 35–45 WPM; 60+ is fast and 80+ is excellent.

Frequently asked questions

What is a good typing speed?

Around 40 WPM is average, 50–60 WPM is good for most jobs, and 70+ WPM is fast. Accuracy above 95% matters more than raw speed.

How can I improve my typing speed?

Learn touch typing with fingers on the home row, look at the screen rather than the keys, and practise accuracy first — speed follows. Short daily sessions work best.

Do mistakes lower my WPM?

Yes. Only correct characters count toward WPM, so uncorrected errors reduce it, and every mistyped key lowers accuracy.
