1-Minute Typing Test FAQs

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

For general computer users, 40 to 55 Words Per Minute (WPM) is a solid average score on a 1-minute test. Speeds between 60 and 75 WPM are considered proficient and fast, placing you in the top 15% globally. Professional typists and transcriptionists aim for 80 to 95+ WPM with 97%+ accuracy.

How is 1-minute WPM calculated?

WPM is calculated using the international 5-character word standard: Total characters typed divided by 5, divided by 1 minute. Gross WPM counts raw keystrokes, while Net WPM subtracts uncorrected errors (Gross WPM - Errors).
