About this test

The 5 minute typing test is the most demanding of the timed set and the closest to real, long-form typing. Five minutes is enough time for genuine fatigue, wandering attention, and posture to influence your result, which makes it the best measure of the speed you can actually sustain during work or study — not just your peak. Treat it as a mini endurance session: settle into a rhythm you could hold for far longer, keep your shoulders relaxed, and let accuracy anchor your pace. The consistency score and time chart are at their most informative here, clearly showing where you fade or surge. If five minutes feels manageable, your everyday typing is in very good shape.

How to use it

  1. Click the typing area (or just start typing) to focus it.
  2. The timer starts the moment you press your first key.
  3. Type the text exactly as shown; correct characters turn green, mistakes turn red.
  4. Use Backspace to fix mistakes, or keep going — your choice.
  5. When the test ends, review your WPM, accuracy, and consistency.

Frequently asked questions

How is WPM calculated?

One word is defined as five characters. Gross WPM = characters typed ÷ 5 ÷ minutes; Net WPM uses only correctly typed characters. See our methodology page for details.

Is 300 seconds long enough for an accurate score?

Yes. A minute or more averages out lucky and unlucky moments and gives a stable, comparable result.

Does accuracy affect my WPM?

Your headline WPM is the Net WPM, which counts only correctly typed characters, so mistakes lower it. Raw WPM ignores accuracy.

Is my typing sent anywhere?

No. Your keystrokes and results are processed entirely in your browser and are never uploaded to our servers.
