Frequently Asked Questions
How is typing speed measured?
Typing speed is measured in Words Per Minute (WPM). One 'word' is standardized as 5 characters. Your WPM is calculated as the number of correctly typed characters divided by 5, divided by the elapsed time in minutes.
What is a good typing speed?
The average typing speed is around 40 WPM. Proficient typists reach 60-80 WPM. Professional typists and programmers often type at 80-100+ WPM. Anything above 100 WPM is considered exceptional.
How can I improve my typing speed?
Practice regularly with typing tests. Focus on accuracy first, then speed. Use all 10 fingers with proper touch typing technique. Practice for 15-30 minutes daily and track your progress over time.
What is the difference between gross WPM and net WPM?
Gross WPM counts all characters typed, including errors. Net WPM subtracts errors from the total, giving a more accurate measure of your effective typing speed. Net WPM is the standard benchmark.
Does this test work on mobile?
Yes, but typing speed tests are designed primarily for physical keyboards. On mobile, tap the test area to open your keyboard and type normally. Your mobile typing speed will naturally be different from desktop.
