How is WPM calculated on this typing test?

Net WPM counts every correctly typed character (including the space after a correct word), divides by five to get standard words, and divides by minutes typed. Raw WPM counts all characters you typed, including mistakes.

What is a good typing speed?

Around 40 WPM is average for adults. 50 to 80 WPM is good for most office work, and 80+ is fast. Accuracy above 97% matters more than a few extra words per minute.

Can I change the duration, difficulty or font size?

Yes. Pick 15 seconds to 180 minutes, easy to hard passages, words or quote mode, and open More options to change editor style, font, font size, caret, sounds, keyboard layout and strictness.

Do I need an account?
