How to use the typing speed test
- Pick a test length.
- Start typing – the timer starts on your first key.
- See your WPM and accuracy.
How WPM is calculated
Correct characters divided by five (one standard word), divided by the minutes elapsed. Mistakes don't count toward your speed.
What's a good score?
The average adult types around 40 WPM. 50-60 is fast, and professional typists reach 70-90 or more.
