The typing speed test measures how quickly and accurately you type, commonly reported as WPM (words per minute) along with an accuracy percentage. It’s a practical benchmark for productivity, coding, writing, and competitive typing practice.
WPM estimates typing speed based on a standard word length, while accuracy tracks correct characters versus mistakes. A slightly lower WPM with high accuracy often reflects better real-world typing performance than fast but error-heavy runs.
Focus on clean technique: keep fingers on home row, avoid looking at the keyboard when possible, and practice with short daily sessions. Speed increases naturally once your accuracy and rhythm stabilize.
Try 10–15 minutes per day: warm up, do two focused tests, then drill the error patterns you made (common letter pairs, punctuation, or numbers). Tracking your average over time is more meaningful than a single best run.
Keyboard height, chair position, and wrist angle affect fatigue and control. Keep wrists neutral, shoulders relaxed, and take breaks during longer practice sessions. Small posture adjustments can improve both speed and accuracy.
