Free 1-Minute Typing Speed Test
Check your typing speed in 60 seconds. Start typing to begin the timer, then review your words per minute (WPM), accuracy, and errors. No account is needed; saved results stay in this browser on this device.
Keep the one-minute test, choose a shorter 15- or 30-second test, or switch to 25, 50, or 100 words. Common, intermediate, and professional word sets offer different vocabulary. For code with symbols and indentation, use code typing practice.

How to improve your typing speed
Start with a pace where you can read the prompt and notice mistakes. Review the accuracy score and recurring errors before raising your target WPM. If finding keys interrupts the passage, work through the beginner lessons, then return to a fresh test with the same duration and difficulty.
Try a short session you can repeat consistently, and review accuracy as well as speed. Use the difficulty levels here to vary your practice: if common words feel easy, switch to intermediate or professional vocabulary. For specific mistakes, follow the accuracy practice guide. If you are preparing for programming work, use the code typing routine.
How to take a one-minute typing test
Choose Time mode and 60s, then click the typing area and enter the displayed text. The timer begins with your first character. Use the same duration and difficulty on repeat attempts so that your results are comparable. This page also offers 15-second and 30-second tests; it does not provide a five-minute test or an official typing certificate.
For your next session, choose beginner typing lessons if key placement is difficult, weak-key practice for repeated mistakes, or typing practice for your profession. Preparing for an assessment? Follow the job typing-test practice plan.
How WPM and accuracy are calculated
WPM is the number of correct characters currently in your attempt, divided by five and by elapsed minutes. Spaces count as characters. For example, 300 correct characters in one minute gives 60 WPM. Results are rounded to whole numbers.
Accuracy is correct character entries divided by all character entries, multiplied by 100. For example, 190 correct entries out of 200 gives 95% accuracy. Backspace does not count as a character entry, and correcting a mistake does not erase the original error from your accuracy score.
Before you type, WPM is zero and accuracy starts at 100%; those initial values are not a completed result. Compare attempts with the same duration, difficulty, and correction rules. See the WPM calculator and scoring explanation for more examples.
