Choose the duration
Choose 15, 30, 60 or 120 seconds. Short tests are useful for quick sprints; longer tests give a more realistic view of sustainable speed.
TEST SYSTEM
How It Works
See what is measured from the moment you start until the result screen, and what each metric means.
Choose the difficulty
Easy texts use simpler everyday language, medium texts add more varied structures, and hard texts include more punctuation, numbers and complex sentences.
Start with the first key
The timer does not run when the page opens. It begins when you type the first character; in verified mode, the server attempt starts at the same time.
Review the result
When time runs out or the text is completed, WPM, CPM, accuracy, score and word/keystroke statistics are calculated.
How is WPM calculated?
WPM means words per minute. Typing tests commonly treat five correct characters as one standard word so results remain comparable even when actual word lengths differ.
Simplified formulaWPM ≈ correct characters ÷ 5 ÷ elapsed minutes
What is CPM?
CPM is the number of correctly typed characters per minute. WPM is easier to read as a speed benchmark, while CPM shows character-level output more directly; using both gives a fuller picture.
What does accuracy mean?
Accuracy shows how closely what you typed matches the target text. A high WPM with frequent mistakes may not translate to useful everyday performance. A good practice routine aims to raise speed while keeping accuracy high.
How are correct and incorrect words counted?
Typed words are compared with target words in the same order. Exact matches count as correct; differences count as incorrect. Seeing both character and word-level results helps identify whether errors come from isolated keys or whole words.
What is verified test mode?
When signed in, a temporary test attempt is prepared on the server before the test begins. The first keystroke marks its start time. At the end, your typed text and timing values are checked again on the server. Valid attempts are stored as verified and can be used in your profile and leaderboard.
Which duration should I use?
15 sec
Quick warm-up and peak-speed sprint.
30 sec
Short but more balanced performance check.
60 sec
A useful standard for general comparison.
120 sec
A stronger measure of rhythm, focus and sustainable speed.
How can you improve your results?
- Make high accuracy your first goal, not maximum speed.
- Take a few short tests each day instead of exhausting yourself with dozens in one session.
- Watch how much your speed changes in 60- and 120-second tests.
- Pay attention to recurring character combinations and transitions that cause errors in your chosen language.
- Gradually develop the habit of typing without looking at the keyboard.
