What is a typing test?

A typing test measures typing speed and accuracy. You type a passage while the page tracks words per minute (WPM), correct characters, and mistakes. Mousebest’s test highlights the passage as you go, so you always see the next letter.

Tips to improve

  • Look at the screen, not your hands
  • Prefer accuracy first, then speed
  • Use short daily practice sessions
  • Try longer timers once short runs feel stable

+ What is a typing test?

A typing test measures how fast and accurately you type. The main scores are words per minute (WPM) and accuracy.

Many people average around 40 WPM. 60+ is strong for everyday use, and 80+ is fast for competitive typing.
