About the Typing Test
Typing speed is measured in words per minute, or WPM. One word counts as five characters including spaces, so your WPM is your correct characters divided by five, divided by the minutes it took. The average adult types around 40 WPM on a full keyboard.
Accuracy matters as much as raw speed: fast typing full of mistakes is slower in practice, because you have to go back and fix it. Backspace is allowed, so you can correct slip-ups, and pasting is disabled so the result reflects your real typing.
