Frequently Asked Questions

What is a good typing speed?▼
Average typing speed is 40 WPM. Professional typists can reach 65-75 WPM. 80+ WPM is considered excellent. For most office jobs, 40-50 WPM is sufficient. Practice regularly to improve your speed.
How is WPM calculated?▼
WPM (Words Per Minute) is calculated by dividing the number of correctly typed words by the time taken in minutes. A word is typically counted as 5 characters. We calculate it based on correct words typed in the given time.
How can I improve my typing speed?▼
Practice regularly, focus on accuracy first, learn touch typing (without looking at the keyboard), use proper finger placement, and gradually increase speed. Use this test daily to track your progress.
Why is accuracy important?▼
Accuracy is more important than speed. Typing fast with many errors requires corrections, which slows you down. Aim for 95%+ accuracy before focusing on increasing speed. Good accuracy saves time on proofreading.
