What is a typing speed test?

A typing speed test measures how fast and how accurately you type, in words per minute (WPM). You type a short passage, and the test tracks your speed, your accuracy, and the mistakes you make along the way. It is the simplest way to see where you stand and to watch yourself improve with practice. Everything runs in your browser, with no signup, so you can take the test as many times as you like and compare your results.

How to take the typing test

  1. 01Start typing the words shown on screen; the timer begins on your first keystroke.
  2. 02Type as accurately as you can, since mistakes lower your score.
  3. 03Keep going until the test ends.
  4. 04Check your WPM and accuracy, then try again to beat your score.

How to type faster

  • Use all ten fingers and keep your hands on the home row
  • Look at the screen, not the keyboard
  • Aim for accuracy first; speed follows naturally
  • Practice a few minutes every day rather than once in a while
  • Retake the test regularly to track your progress
