What is the Typing Speed Test?

A quick typing test that measures your speed in words per minute (WPM) and your accuracy. Mistakes are highlighted as you type, and you can retry the same text or practice with a new one.

How it works

How to use the Typing Speed Test

3 simple steps. No experience needed.

What can you use it for?

  • Check your typing speed for a job application.
  • Practice a little each day and track progress.
  • Challenge friends or classmates.

How to improve

Accuracy first: aim for 95% or higher, then speed up. Keep your fingers on the home row (ASDF and JKL;), look at the screen rather than the keyboard, and practice for a few minutes every day rather than once a week.

Fair results

Pasting is turned off, the timer starts on your first keystroke, and only correctly typed characters count toward your speed.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

How is WPM calculated?

Correctly typed characters are divided by five (the standard length of a “word”) and then by the minutes spent. Mistakes don't count toward your speed.

What's a good typing speed?

Around 40 WPM is typical. 60+ WPM is fast, and professional typists often reach 80 or more.
