Frequently Asked Questions
How is WPM calculated?
Words Per Minute is calculated by dividing the number of correctly typed characters by 5 (the average word length) and then by the elapsed time in minutes.
What is a good typing speed?
Average typing speed is 40 WPM. 60-75 WPM is considered good. Professional typists often reach 80-100+ WPM. Speed improves with regular practice.
Does accuracy matter?
Yes. The test penalizes errors. A fast but inaccurate typist may have a lower effective WPM than a slower but precise typist.
