Typing speed test: how fast do you type?

How the typing test works

Choose 1, 3 or 5 minutes for this typing speed test and type simple everyday sentences, with only letters, periods, and commas. The timer starts with your first keystroke. Afterward, you see your speed in words per minute (WPM, where five keystrokes count as one word) and your accuracy.

Errors are marked in red; you can fix them or keep going. Errors you leave lower your net speed. Take the test again later: with touch typing, speed and accuracy usually improve after a few weeks of daily practice.

Is a key sticking or does the layout look wrong? Check your keyboard with the keyboard test.
