Understanding Your Results
After you complete a test, you’ll see two key scores: WPM and Accuracy. Here’s what they mean:
- WPM (Words Per Minute): We hope you are very familiar with typing speed measurement. We told you many times that five characters are considered as one word. Not the dictionary-like words that are counted in the typing test measurement.
- Accuracy: This measures what percentage of the characters you typed were correct. Please note that if you typed a letter wrong and then backspaced, it will remove the wrong letter and count as correct typing. High accuracy is crucial, as it means you spend less time fixing mistakes. Aim for 98% or higher!
How to Improve Your Typing Test Score
The secret to a great score is consistent, smart practice. Here are the three best ways to improve:
- Touch Typing: The most effective way to get faster is to learn how to type without looking at the keyboard. We have shown you a complete roadmap and a touch-typing task. You should learn it and implement it in your typing journey.
- Follow a Structured Course: Random practice may be good, but a structured course is the best way to achieve mastery in this skill. Our free 30-day course will teach you everything from the ground up.
- Practice Daily: Consistency is key. Even 15 minutes of daily typing practice will lead to huge improvements over time.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is a good WPM score?
For most professional jobs, a speed of 50-60 WPM is considered very good. An average typist is around 40 WPM. However, your first goal should always be to achieve at least 98% accuracy, as accuracy is the foundation of useful speed.
How often should I take a typing test?
Typing tests can be taken during the typing learning period. After completing the course, you will realize that there is no more test typing task required. By doing your job at work, you will automatically improve.
Does completing the course include a typing task?
It depends. If you are typing incorrectly, you must review the course; otherwise, it is not required.
