About the 2 page typing test

This test is about two pages of text: 500 words with capitals and punctuation, or one single-spaced page. The timer stops when you finish the last word.

  1. 01

    How long do two pages take?

    At 40 wpm 500 words take about 12 and a half minutes. At 60 wpm about 8 minutes, and at 80 wpm just over 6.
  2. 02

    Pace yourself

    Two pages is a stamina test. Start at a speed you can hold and keep accuracy high; going back to fix errors costs more time than typing steadily.
  3. 03

    How your WPM is calculated

    Every 5 correct characters, including spaces, count as one word. Net WPM only counts correct characters; raw WPM counts every key you press.
