Choose a typing test duration
The 1-minute typing test starts with 60 seconds on the clock. Choose a shorter run for a quick check, or a longer run to practice a steady pace. Your first typed character starts the timer.
Prefer a word-count test? Type 25 words, 50 words or 100 words at your own pace.
What does your typing score mean?
- WPM: words per minute
- Your correct final characters, including spaces, divided by five and by the test length in minutes. Typing 300 correct characters in 1 minute gives you 60 WPM.
- Accuracy
- The percentage of character attempts you typed correctly. Correcting a mistake with Backspace improves the final text, but the earlier error still counts in accuracy.
- Raw WPM
- All character attempts per minute, divided by five, including mistakes and retyped characters. Compare it with WPM to see how much of your typing became correct text.
Improve your typing speed with focused practice
- Finish a test. Keep a comfortable rhythm and aim for correct characters before pushing your speed.
- Review the words you missed. Check the highlighted characters, then choose “Practice missed words” in your results to work on those words.
- Repeat the same settings. Compare WPM and accuracy with your personal best. Keep the same language, duration and options when measuring progress.
