Frequently asked questions

WPM and accuracy answers for this 5 minutes typing speed test.

What does this 5 minutes typing speed test measure?

This free 5 minutes typing test measures your words per minute (WPM) and typing accuracy. WPM uses correctly typed characters divided by 5, then by elapsed minutes. Start typing to begin — no signup required — and get results when the timer ends.

What is a good WPM and accuracy score?

A 2018 study of 168,000 online volunteers reported a mean of about 52 WPM (Dhakal et al., CHI 2018). TypingGuild's practice targets are 30 WPM (beginner), 40 WPM (practice goal), and 60 WPM (advanced). Aim for high accuracy first, then raise speed with consistent retesting at the same duration.

Why take a 5 minutes typing test?

A 5 minutes session gives you a timed WPM and accuracy measurement you can repeat later for comparison. Retake it regularly to track your own progress, or try other durations when you want a shorter warm-up or a longer session.
