Measure your typing speed over a balanced 3 minute test. Long enough to smooth out quick bursts, short enough to fit any practice routine - a favourite length for pre-employment typing checks.
The 3 minute typing test hits a sweet spot: it averages out short bursts of speed without the fatigue of a long round, which is why many pre-employment typing screenings use a 3-5 minute window. Compare it with the 1 minute typing test and the 5 minute typing test to see how length changes your score.
Three minutes filters out the noise of a single lucky sentence while staying short enough to take every day. It reveals whether you can hold speed and accuracy together, the real signal employers care about. Build that endurance with guided typing practice.
Around 40 WPM is average for adults, 60+ is good, and 80+ is professional. Over 3 minutes accuracy matters as much as speed, so aim to finish with 95% or higher accuracy.
