What Is a Typing Test?
A typing test measures how fast and accurately you can type a given passage of text. Speed is measured in words per minute (WPM), and accuracy shows how many characters you typed correctly compared to the original text.

Frequently Asked Questions
WPM is calculated by dividing the number of correctly typed characters by 5 (the average word length), then dividing by the time elapsed in minutes.
Any character you type that doesn't match the corresponding character in the passage counts as an error, reducing your accuracy percentage.
