Why corrected errors still count
A backspace removes the character from the final text but not from the keystroke record. The accuracy score therefore reflects the mistakes you actually made, not only the mistakes you left visible.
Typing Accuracy Test
Longer passages expose fatigue and careless habits that short bursts can hide. Type at a sustainable pace and watch how accuracy, errors, and WPM move together.

About this test
Precision before speed
Use the first pass to keep accuracy above 95 percent. Once the error rate is stable, raise your pace in small steps rather than trying to force a new speed.
The two minute format
Two minutes is short enough for a daily check and long enough to reveal rhythm breaks that appear only after the first minute.

What accuracy should I aim for?
Aiming for 95 percent or higher is a practical target for everyday typing. Beginners should prioritize accuracy before speed.
Why did my WPM drop on the second minute?
Fatigue and attention drift reduce sustained speed. That is exactly what a longer test is designed to measure.
How is typing accuracy calculated in this test?
Accuracy is the percentage of correctly typed characters out of all characters typed, including corrections and mistakes. If you type 500 characters and 20 are wrong, your accuracy is 96%. The test tracks both finalized errors and errors you corrected.
What is the difference between WPM and raw WPM?
Raw WPM measures your average gross typing speed, counting every key you type including errors, without any penalty. Net WPM subtracts uncorrected errors and typically gives a lower score. This test shows both so you can see your actual typing potential versus your final output speed.
Why does the test take two minutes instead of one?
A two-minute passage reduces warm-up effects and gives a more reliable average. Typing speed naturally fluctuates, and a longer session better captures your sustained performance, including how well you maintain accuracy and rhythm over time. This makes the results more useful for real-world typing tasks.
