Frequently Asked Questions

Quick answers to common questions about using this tool.

How is WPM calculated? +

Net WPM is calculated from correct characters divided by five, then divided by the test duration in minutes.

What is the difference between raw WPM and net WPM? +

Raw WPM uses all typed characters. Net WPM uses only correct characters, so mistakes reduce the final speed.

Does the timer start automatically? +

Yes. The timer starts when you type the first character. There is no separate Start button.

Can I paste text into the test? +

No. Pasting is blocked so the score reflects typing rather than copied text.

Does this typing test upload my typing? +

No. The test text, timer, and calculations run in your browser.

Which difficulty should I choose? +

Use Easy for common lowercase words, Medium for simple sentences, Hard for mixed numbers and punctuation, and Professional for office-style text.
