FAQ
How is WPM calculated?
The standard method: correctly typed characters ÷ 5 = words, then per minute. An average word is taken as 5 characters. Incorrect characters don't count toward WPM.
What is a good typing speed?
Average is 35–40 WPM. 50+ is good, 70+ is professional level, 90+ is excellent. Data entry jobs usually require 30–40 WPM; steno/typist posts require 25–35 WPM.
How do I increase my speed?
Learn touch typing (without looking at the keyboard, using all 10 fingers), practice 15–20 minutes daily, and prioritize accuracy — speed follows. A 20+ WPM improvement in 2–3 months is normal.
Is this like a government exam pattern?
The concept is the same (timed typing, WPM+accuracy). Exams usually have a 10-minute test — this is a 60-second quick check, perfect for regular practice.
