Typing test
Typing test - check your real typing speed in different levels.
An average professional typist reaches 50 to 70 wpm, while some positions can require 80 to 95 (usually the minimum required for dispatch positions and other time-sensitive typing jobs), and some advanced typists work at speeds above 120. Take Professional Touch Typing Test in order to compare your typing speed to above numbers.
Your typing speed is measured using the adjusted words-per-minute (A WPM) formula, which means that the number of words typed per minute is reduced (adjusted) when you make typing errors. So when you take our typing speed test, do not look only at your speed, look also at the number of mistakes you make. To get better results, concentrate on your typing accuracy. You can always improve your typing skills by taking our typing lessons or by playing typing games.
