ABOUT THE TYPING SPEED TEST

The Typing Speed Test measures how fast and accurately you type in English. Speed is measured in WPM (Words Per Minute). Average computer users type at 40-50 WPM, office professionals at 55-65 WPM, and fast typists at 80+ WPM.

Typing speed matters more than ever in today's digital workplace. Whether you are a student, content writer, developer, data entry professional, or government employee, faster and more accurate typing directly improves productivity. Even a 10 WPM improvement saves significant time daily.

Our test uses random 60-second passages from a rotating collection, preventing memorisation from inflating scores artificially.

TIPS TO TYPE FASTER

  • Learn home row finger placement (ASDF left hand, JKL; right hand) — the foundation of fast touch typing
  • Practice without looking at the keyboard — touch typing is essential for 50+ WPM
  • 15-20 minutes of daily practice shows improvement in 2-4 weeks
  • Prioritise accuracy over speed — slow down if accuracy drops below 95%
  • Use Typing.com, Keybr.com, or TypeRacer for structured practice
