About the 5-minute typing test
This 5-minute typing test starts on your first key and stops after 5 minutes. You get net WPM, accuracy, raw speed, consistency and a chart of every second.
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.
