How to use it

  1. Choose Words, Code or Weak keys. Choose 15, 30, 60 or 120 seconds.
  2. Click the text box. Type the text. Use backspace to fix a mistake.
  3. Read your speed and accuracy when the time ends.
  4. To start a new test, press Tab and then Enter.

How the score is worked out

Speed in words per minute (WPM) is the number of correct characters, divided by 5, divided by the minutes you typed.

Raw WPM counts all the characters you typed. Accuracy is the share of your keystrokes that were right. A mistake that you fix with backspace still counts as an error.

Questions

How is WPM worked out?

The test counts the correct characters you typed. It divides that number by 5 to get words. Then it divides by the minutes you typed.

What is the difference between WPM and raw WPM?

Raw WPM counts all the characters you typed, also the wrong ones. WPM counts only the correct ones, so it is never higher than raw WPM.

What does the Weak keys mode do?

It picks words that have the letters you got wrong most often in your past tests. Without a history of mistakes, it uses the normal word list.

How can I type faster?

Look at the text, not at the keys. Type slowly and right first. Speed comes later. Practice a few minutes each day, and use the Weak keys mode.
