Frequently Asked Questions
How is WPM (words per minute) calculated?
WPM counts correctly typed characters divided by 5 (the standard "word" length), divided by elapsed minutes. This method is the industry standard used by typing certification tests.
What is a good typing speed?
Average typists reach 40 WPM. Office workers typically type 50-70 WPM. Professional typists reach 80-100+ WPM. Above 120 WPM is considered expert level.
What is the difference between raw and net WPM?
Raw WPM counts all keystrokes including errors. Net WPM (also called adjusted or corrected WPM) subtracts errors, giving a more accurate measure of effective typing speed.
How can I improve my typing speed?
Practice touch typing (not looking at the keyboard), focus on accuracy first (speed follows naturally), use proper finger placement on the home row, and practice regularly with varied text.
