About this test

Net WPM vs raw WPM

Net WPM counts only correct characters. Raw WPM counts every keystroke, so a large gap between the two usually means correction habits are slowing you down.

Compare sessions, not moods

WPM varies with passage difficulty, device, and time of day. Keep the same duration and content type when you compare results across days.

Accuracy is part of the score

A result is not complete until you read accuracy and errors beside the WPM value. Fast but messy typing rarely translates to faster work.

Does a higher WPM always mean better typing?

Not alone. Compare WPM with accuracy and error count, because corrections add real time to real work.

Can I take this test on a phone?

The workspace is responsive, but a physical keyboard gives the most accurate typing measurement.
