About the 1 minute typing test
One minute is the most common typing test length and the quickest way to check your words per minute. It is long enough to give a fair score but short enough to keep your best speed the whole way through, so 1-minute scores are usually a little higher than longer tests.
Tips for your best score
- Sit straight with your wrists level and fingers resting on the home row.
- Read a word or two ahead instead of looking at each letter.
- Don't stop to fix every mistake — keep a steady rhythm. Your WPM only counts correct characters, so accuracy still matters.
- Take three tests and use the average; the page remembers your best 1-minute score.
