Frequently Asked Questions

How does the typing test measure my speed?

The timer starts the moment you type your first character and stops when you finish the passage. Your words per minute is calculated from the total characters typed correctly, divided into standard 5-character words, over that time.

How is accuracy calculated?

Accuracy is the percentage of characters you typed correctly out of the total characters in the passage. Mistyped characters are highlighted in red as you go, so you can see exactly where errors happened after finishing.

Can I retake the test with a different passage?

Yes. Click Try Again after finishing, or at any point, to get a new random passage and reset the timer.
