What is a good typing speed?
Average typing speed is 40-50 WPM. Professional typists reach 60-80 WPM, while experts achieve 90+ WPM. Focus on accuracy first, then build speed gradually.
How is WPM calculated?
WPM divides total characters typed by 5 (average word length), then by minutes elapsed. Errors are subtracted to get net WPM.
Does punctuation affect my score?
Yes, punctuation and capitalization must match exactly. Each mistake reduces your accuracy percentage and net WPM.
Can I improve my typing speed?
Absolutely! Practice regularly using proper finger positioning and touch typing techniques. Start slow, focus on accuracy, then increase speed.
Is this suitable for beginners?
Yes! The test works for all skill levels and helps track improvement over time.
