How the typing test works

You get a one-minute sprint on common English words. Type as accurately as you can. When the clock hits zero, you see gross WPM, net WPM, and accuracy — the same metrics used by serious typing trainers.

Unlike one-off speed tests, Typing Coach remembers which keys and letter pairs you miss and builds your next lesson around them.

What is a good typing speed?

• Below 30 WPM — beginner; start with home row lessons.
• 40–60 WPM — solid everyday pace for most office work.
• 70–90 WPM — fast; focus on accuracy and hard digraphs.
• 100+ WPM — competitive; polish weak spots and rhythm.

Tips before you start

• Sit tall, wrists light, eyes on the text — not the keys.
• Prefer accuracy over a frantic rush; net WPM punishes errors.
• After the test, open Adaptive mode to drill only your weak keys.
