Test your typing speed in exactly 60 seconds. This one minute typing test measures your words per minute (WPM) and accuracy — the standard quick check most typing sites use.
The 1 minute typing test is the most popular way to check typing speed. Sixty seconds is long enough to measure your real speed and short enough to fit into any break. Type the passage as fast as you can without mistakes — the test counts your WPM, accuracy and errors automatically. When the minute is up, your result appears instantly and is saved in this browser so you can compare it with your next attempt.
A one minute test balances two things: it is long enough that a single lucky or unlucky sentence does not dominate the result, and short enough that you stay focused the whole time. Shorter tests such as 15 or 30 seconds are fun for quick bursts, but a 60 second test is what most people mean when they say typing speed. Recruiters and typing certificates almost always use a one minute test.
A typing test measures how fast and accurately you type. You type a passage of text while the test counts your words per minute (WPM), accuracy and errors.
WPM = (correct characters ÷ 5) ÷ minutes elapsed. The industry standard treats every 5 characters as one word, so longer words count more. Raw WPM ignores errors, while net WPM subtracts them.
1 minute is the most popular length and is enough for a quick check. Longer tests (3, 5 or 10 minutes) give a more stable result because they average out short bursts of speed and fatigue.

Practice daily for 10–15 minutes, prioritise accuracy over speed, keep your wrists relaxed and your fingers anchored on the home row (ASDF JKL;). Learn to use all ten fingers rather than hunting and pecking with two.
