The 5 minutes typing test
This is a five-minute endurance test, closest to real typing. Type the passage as fast and accurately as you can; every five correct characters counts as one word, divided by the time. Longer tests reward steady accuracy over a hot streak, and this length keeps its own personal best on this device.
What is a good score?
The average typist manages around 40 WPM, comfortable touch typists 60 to 80, and pros push past 100. Shorter tests like 15 or 30 seconds read a little higher because you can ride a good streak; minute-plus tests settle closer to your real sustained speed.
