Typing Speed Test

Learn to type faster — without losing accuracy

This test tracks your WPM, CPM, accuracy and also detailed mistakes: total typed, correct letters, mistakes, errors per 100 characters and which letter trips you up most often.

1. Build clean technique first

Fast typing is mostly about clean mechanics. Before you try to push the speed, make sure your hands move in a predictable way.

• Use all ten fingers and keep them near the home row (ASDF / JKL;).
• Look at the text on the screen, not at the keyboard.
• Slow down until you can keep accuracy above ~95% for a full minute.

2. Train with short, focused blocks

Your fingers and brain learn best in short, intense blocks, not in one long, exhausting session.

• Do 3–5 runs of 60 seconds instead of one long 10-minute session.
• Between runs, check errors / 100 chars and the worst letter.
• Practice the weak letter slowly, then speed up while staying accurate.

3. Track progress, not single runs

Some days you will be tired or distracted. Use the trend across several runs instead of chasing one “perfect” score.

This is a training tool, not a formal typing exam — use it as a sandbox to experiment, tweak your technique and see which habits actually move the numbers.
