5-minute typing test
A 5-minute typing test shows your steady speed. You type for 300 seconds, so your hands and eyes get tired like in real work.
The text has 750 words. That is enough for a speed of 150 WPM for the full time.
The test starts with Words and 300 seconds. You can still choose a shorter time.

How the score is worked out
In a 5-minute test, the minutes are 5. So your WPM is the number of correct characters divided by 5, divided by 5.
Why take a long test
A long test shows how well you keep your speed. Most people slow down after the first minute.
Some schools and employers give a typing test of several minutes. A long test is good practice for it.
Tips for 5 minutes
Start a little slower than your top speed. A steady rhythm is better than a fast start.
Sit with your back straight and relax your shoulders. Look at the text and not at the keys.
Compare a 5-minute score with other 5-minute scores. A 1-minute score is often higher.
