The clock waits for you: it starts with your first key press, not when the page opens. Words typed correctly count toward your speed, and a word with a mistake stays marked in red.
- Choose a length: 15 s, 30 s or 60 s.
- Choose the Text: Sentences for normal writing, or Easy for plain lowercase words without punctuation.
- Type the words in the box, with Space between words.
- Once the clock hits zero, the test reports WPM, Accuracy and raw speed.
- Hit Restart to retype the same passage, or New text for a fresh one.
Controls
- Keyboard: just type. Tab then Enter restarts the same passage.
- Touch: tapping the passage brings up your on-screen keyboard.
- Pause stops the clock if you need a break.
- Click the text once before you start, so your keys go to the test and not to this page.
Tips
- Learn the home row: left fingers rest on A, S, D and F, right fingers on J, K, L and the semicolon. Feel for the ridges on F and J to find it without looking.
- Watch the screen, not your hands. It feels slower for a week or so, then it pays off.
- Go for accuracy first. Every fixed typo costs time and still counts against your accuracy.
- Short daily practice does more than one marathon session.
FAQ
How is WPM worked out?
The test counts the characters in the words you typed correctly, divides by five (the standard length of a word in typing tests, spaces included) and scales that to one minute. Raw speed counts everything you typed, mistakes included.
What does accuracy measure?
How many of your keystrokes hit the correct character, as a percentage. Fixing a typo with Backspace doesn't remove it from your accuracy.
Which length should I pick?
15 seconds shows your top burst. 60 seconds gives a steadier picture of your everyday speed, because one fumble matters less.
Can I take the typing test at school?
There's nothing to download or install, so it works in Chrome on a school Chromebook. The school's network still decides which sites load. If this one is blocked, ask a teacher or the IT team, and skip proxy or unblocker sites, which break school rules and often carry malware.
