30 Second typing test

About the 30-second typing test

This 30-second typing test starts on your first key and stops after 30 seconds. You get net WPM, accuracy, raw speed, consistency and a chart of every second.

A quick warm-up

Thirty seconds is perfect for warming up before a longer test or a race. Short tests usually score a little higher than long ones.

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.
