About the Typing Speed Test
?What the typing speed test does
It gives you a text and a timer, and measures your typing speed in words per minute (WPM) and your accuracy. You can choose 1, 3 or 5 minutes, or Creator Mode, which is a 3-minute test with text about making videos.
WPM is worked out as correct characters ÷ 5 ÷ minutes, which treats five characters as one word. That is a common convention. The results also show raw WPM, which counts every character you typed, the number of characters and errors, and your personal best. Everything runs in your browser.
→How to take the test in 3 steps
