Timed typing tests
Measure your typing speed
Choose a timed test, type the passage shown, and review your net words per minute and accuracy. Each test runs under the same standard conditions so results stay comparable over time.
Choose your test length
Pick the duration that fits your goal. Shorter tests are quick checks, while longer tests show how well you hold your pace.
1-Minute Sprint
A quick snapshot of your current speed. Ideal for a fast warm-up before a longer session.
3-Minute Standard
A balanced evaluation that combines speed and accuracy over a steady stretch of typing.
5-Minute Stamina Check
A longer test that reveals how consistent your accuracy remains as fatigue sets in.
Scoring
How your score is calculated
Every test reports three clear figures so you can see both how fast you typed and how accurately you typed.
1. Gross WPM
Gross words per minute counts every character typed, divided by five, over the test duration.
2. Error penalty
Each incorrect character is subtracted from your total, so mistakes lower your score rather than being ignored.
3. Net WPM and accuracy
Net WPM is your gross speed minus the error penalty. Accuracy shows the percentage of characters typed correctly.
