How is WPM calculated?

We use the 5-characters-per-word standard. Net WPM subtracts mistakes by counting only correct characters typed.

One minute gives a quick snapshot. Two to five minutes provide a steadier average. Use both for training and benchmarking.

How do I raise accuracy?

Slow slightly to hold 96–98% accuracy, drill weak keys (numbers, symbols) separately, and keep eyes on the screen.

How This Typing Test Works

Pick a duration and press Start.
Type exactly what you see — corrections are allowed.
When time ends, we calculate net WPM (5 chars = 1 word), accuracy, and errors.

Takeaway: Run two short tests plus one longer run for a stable weekly benchmark.

Improve Fast with a Simple Plan

Warm up 2 minutes with home-row drills.
Do one 1-minute speed run + one 2-minute accuracy run.
Log WPM, accuracy, and your top mistake (caps, punctuation, numbers).

Takeaway: Accuracy to 96–98% first; speed rises naturally.
