How Typing Tests Work
Metrics Explained
- WPM (Words Per Minute): Calculated by taking the total amount of correctly typed characters, dividing by 5 (the standard length of a word), and dividing by the time elapsed.
- Accuracy: The percentage of correct keystrokes out of your total keystrokes. Backspacing to fix a mistake allows you to correct the text, but the initial error is still recorded.
Tips for Improvement
- • Focus on accuracy first. Speed naturally develops as your muscle memory improves.
- • Look ahead. Keep your eyes slightly ahead of the word you are currently typing.
- • Posture matters. Sit up straight and keep your wrists hovering slightly above the keyboard.
- • Use all fingers. Ensure your hands are anchored on the home row (ASDF JKL;).
