FAQ — Check Typing Speed
Is a 30-second check accurate?
It’s a strong estimate for pace. For official scores, verify with a 2–5 minute run to smooth out bursts and warm-up effects.
What does “Projected 1-minute WPM” mean?
We scale your current pace to a 1-minute equivalent (accounting for accuracy), so you can compare to standard 1-minute results instantly.
Which difficulty should I use?
Pick the one that reflects your real work. Numbers and symbols often slow people down; training them boosts net WPM in daily tasks.
