WPM uses the standard of 5 characters (including spaces) per word. Correctly typed characters are divided by 5, then by the minutes elapsed.
Accuracy is the percentage of characters you typed correctly out of all characters typed during the test.
Learn touch typing with your fingers on the home row, focus on accuracy before speed, avoid looking at the keyboard, and practice 10–15 minutes a day. See our full guide on how to type faster, then retake this 60-second test weekly to track your progress.
