β Frequently Asked Questions
What is a good typing speed (WPM)?
+
Average typing speeds vary by skill level: Beginners (10-25 WPM), Intermediate (25-40 WPM), Advanced (40-70 WPM), and Expert (70+ WPM). Professional typists often achieve 65-75 WPM with high accuracy. The key is balancing speed with accuracy - 40 WPM with 95% accuracy is better than 60 WPM with 80% accuracy.
How is WPM calculated in this test?
+
WPM is calculated using the standard formula: (Total characters typed Γ· 5) Γ· (Time in minutes). We divide by 5 because the average English word is 5 characters long. Only correctly typed characters count toward your WPM score, ensuring accuracy is rewarded alongside speed.
What's the difference between the difficulty levels?
+
Easy uses common 3-6 letter words, Medium includes everyday phrases and sentences, Hard features complex vocabulary and punctuation, while Expert includes technical terms, numbers, and special characters. Start with Easy to build confidence, then progress to higher levels as your skills improve.
How can I improve my typing speed and accuracy?
+
Practice regularly with proper finger placement (touch typing), maintain good posture, focus on accuracy before speed, use all 10 fingers, practice common word patterns, and take breaks to avoid fatigue. Our test provides immediate feedback to help identify and correct mistakes in real-time.
Why is accuracy more important than raw speed?
+
High accuracy reduces the need for corrections, which actually saves time in real-world typing scenarios. Employers value accurate typists because errors require time to fix and can lead to miscommunication. Aim for 95%+ accuracy while gradually building speed - this creates better muscle memory and typing habits.
