How the one-minute test works
The clock starts on your first keystroke, so you never lose seconds getting ready. Mistakes are marked as you go and Backspace fixes them. The text is a stream of common lowercase words with no punctuation, which keeps the test fair for anyone and easy to compare from one day to the next.
When time is up you get your speed, accuracy, a keyboard map of the keys that cost you most, and a one-tap drill built from them. Nothing else sits between you and the result.
Why sixty seconds is the standard
A minute is the length most people mean when they quote a typing speed. It is short enough to fit into a break and long enough that a clumsy first few words do not decide the outcome. Shorter runs, such as the 30-second typing test, tend to flatter you, because almost anyone can sprint for half a minute. Longer runs, such as the 5-minute typing test, measure stamina as much as speed.
If you only take one test today, this is the one that gives you a number worth remembering.
Reading your result
Your result shows your tier, from Bronze to Diamond. Each one needs both a speed and an accuracy, because fast typing full of errors isn’t fast in practice. The full list is on the typing tiers explained page.
Speed counts correctly typed characters, divides by five (one standard word) and scales to a minute. Accuracy counts every keystroke, including ones you fixed. That is why a run can feel quick and still show a modest accuracy figure: the corrections are part of the story.
Below the headline number you will find a second-by-second speed graph. A line that sags near the end means you ran out of rhythm. A line that climbs means you started cautiously and could push harder at the start next time.
What to do after the test
Take the drill when it is offered. It uses real words packed with the letters you missed, so a minute of drilling targets exactly what slowed you down. Then run the one-minute test again and compare the two results against your seven-day average, which appears beside your speed once you have a few tests saved.
