1

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.

2

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 goals above (30 / 40 / 60 WPM) are suggested targets for practice. Aim for high accuracy first, then raise speed with consistent retesting at the same duration.

3

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.
