Start typing the words below – the timer starts with your first key. You get your speed in words per minute (WPM) and key depressions per hour (KDPH), your accuracy and a chart of the keys you miss. Change the time to 2, 3 or 5 minutes any time.
| Level | Speed | What it means |
|---|---|---|
| Beginner | Below 25 WPM | Still looking at the keys – start the lessons from lesson 1. |
| Average | 30–40 WPM | Enough for daily computer work and most clerk-level typing tests (e.g. 35 WPM for SSC CHSL LDC). |
| Good | 45–60 WPM | Comfortable for office, data entry and content work. |
| Fast | 60+ WPM | Professional speed – keep accuracy above 97%. |
Open the typing speed test, choose 1, 2, 3 or 5 minutes and start typing the words shown. When the time is over you see your speed in WPM (words per minute) and KDPH (key depressions per hour), your accuracy and the keys you miss most.
Every 5 correctly typed characters (spaces included) count as one word. WPM = correct characters ÷ 5 ÷ minutes. KDPH = correct characters per hour, so 35 WPM = 10,500 KDPH.
As a rough guide: below 25 WPM is a beginner, 30–40 WPM is average, 45–60 WPM is good and above 60 WPM is fast. For job and exam typing tests, accuracy matters as much as speed – aim for 95% or more.
Learn touch typing: keep your fingers on the home row (A S D F – J K L ;), let each finger press only its own keys and never look at the keyboard. Practise 30 minutes twice a day; the free lessons here take you from the home row to full passages step by step.
