60-Second Timed Sprint

1-Minute Typing Test

The 1-Minute Typing Test is the world standard quick benchmark for assessing typing speed, keystroke fluency, and accuracy in exactly 60 seconds. A one-minute sprint is ideal for daily warm-ups, tracking incremental improvements, and comparing your baseline words per minute against global averages without fatigue.

Our one-minute assessment uses calibrated, high-frequency English vocabulary designed to keep your fingers moving in a steady rhythm. The 60-second timer triggers the instant you press your first key. Stay relaxed, focus on clean home-row hand positioning, and aim for 95%+ accuracy to achieve your highest possible Net WPM score.
