FAQ

What is a good typing speed?

A good speed depends on your goal. 30 WPM is basic comfort, 40 WPM is useful for everyday work, 50 WPM is stronger for office tasks, 60 WPM supports many data entry and admin goals, and 70+ WPM is competitive. The best score is one you can repeat on different text while staying accurate.

Is accuracy more important than WPM?

Accuracy is usually more important first. A fast score with many corrections wastes time and can create serious mistakes in data entry, school work, customer messages, or reports. If your accuracy is below 90 percent, slow down and fix error patterns before trying to raise speed.

How often should I practice typing?

Practice 10 minutes daily or 20 to 30 minutes several times per week. Short focused sessions usually beat long unfocused sessions. A good session includes a warmup, one targeted drill, a short test, and a quick note about what to practice next.
