About the 5-minute typing test
Type the words as they appear for five minutes. When the time is up you see your speed in words per minute (WPM), your accuracy and a chart of where you sped up and slowed down.
Five minutes shows the pace you can keep, not just the pace you can reach: most people slow down after the first minute, and small habits like a glance at the keys add up. It is a good check of your speed for long emails, reports or notes.
No account is needed: your results stay in your browser, and a free account keeps them on every device. Want something shorter? Try the 1-minute test, or pick any length in the full speed test.
