A good typing speed depends on your goals. Around 40 WPM is considered average, 60–80 WPM is comfortable for work or study, and anything above that is considered fast. Accuracy matters just as much as speed.

WPM (words per minute) is calculated by dividing the total number of typed characters by five and then by the time spent typing in minutes. Accuracy and errors can affect the final score depending on the test.

Yes. If you press the wrong key, you can’t continue typing until the mistake is fixed — while the timer keeps running. As a result, you type fewer words in more time, which lowers your WPM. That’s why accuracy directly impacts your final score.

This is the average result of all users who have completed the touch typing course on our platform.

Yes. You can retake typing tests as many times as you like to track progress, test improvements, or warm up before practice.

Time-based tests measure how fast you type within a fixed time limit, such as 1, 3, or 5 minutes. Word-based tests measure how long it takes you to type a fixed number of words, such as 10, 25, or 50.

Longer tests are generally more accurate. They reduce the impact of random mistakes and short bursts of speed, giving a more stable picture of your real typing ability.

Short tests like 10 words give a rough estimate. For more reliable results, 25–50 words or longer tests are recommended.
