How typing speed is measured

Typing speed is commonly reported in Words Per Minute (WPM). Tests also track accuracy because high WPM with many errors isn’t useful in real work.

Speed levels

As a simple scale: 30–40 WPM (basic), 40–60 WPM (solid), 60–80 WPM (fast), 80+ WPM (very fast). Aim to raise accuracy first, then speed.

How to improve typing speed

Use short daily practice, keep your hands on the home row, and retest using the same duration so your scores are comparable.

FAQ

Should I focus on speed or accuracy?

Accuracy first. A small drop in errors usually increases real-world speed.

How often should I test?

A few times per week is enough if you practice in between.
