Typing test questions

What does WPM mean?

WPM means words per minute. In standard typing measurements, five characters are treated as one word.

When does the timer start?

The timer starts on your first keystroke, so you can read the passage before beginning.

Does the test count mistakes?

Yes. Incorrect characters are marked in the passage, included in the error count and reflected in your accuracy score.
