Typing Test FAQs

Typing speed is measured in words per minute (WPM), where a "word" is standardized as 5 characters including spaces. We calculate your WPM by counting the total characters typed (divided by 5) and dividing by the time taken in minutes.

An average typing speed is about 40 WPM. Professional typists often reach 65-75 WPM. For most office jobs, 45-60 WPM is considered good. Competitive typists can exceed 120 WPM with high accuracy.

To improve your typing speed:

  • Practice regularly with typing exercises
  • Learn proper finger placement (touch typing)
  • Focus on accuracy first, speed will follow
  • Use all your fingers, not just a few
  • Take breaks to avoid fatigue
