Why Take a 1-Minute Typing Test?
A one-minute typing test is the fastest way to measure your current typing speed without requiring a long time commitment. Whether you're practicing daily, preparing for a job application, or just curious about your typing abilities, this test gives you an accurate snapshot in just 60 seconds.
This format is particularly useful for quick warm-ups before starting work, tracking daily improvement, or getting a baseline measurement when you're first learning touch typing.
How the Test Works
Our 1-minute typing test measures your speed using the standard WPM (Words Per Minute) formula. When you click start, you'll see a series of common English words. Type them as quickly and accurately as you can for 60 seconds.
Your WPM is calculated by dividing the number of correct characters you type by 5 (since the standard definition of a "word" in typing tests is 5 characters), then dividing by the time elapsed in minutes. Accuracy is calculated as the percentage of characters you typed correctly.
