How your 1 minute score is calculated

Words per minute counts every five correctly typed characters as one word. Because the test runs exactly one minute, your gross character count divided by five is your WPM — no scaling, which is why one minute results are the fairest to compare between sites.

Frequently asked questions

Why is the 1 minute typing test the standard?

Sixty seconds is long enough to smooth out a lucky burst but short enough that fatigue does not distort the number, so schools and employers use it as the default benchmark.

What is a good score on a 1 minute typing test?

40 WPM is average, 60 WPM is solid office speed, 80 WPM is fast, and 100+ WPM is competitive. Accuracy should stay above 97% for the score to count in most job tests.

Does the test count mistakes?

Yes. Only correctly typed characters count toward WPM, and accuracy is shown alongside your speed so you can see the trade-off.
