5-minute typing test.
Make consistency your strength. Type the words to start.
Type the displayed passage in order. Backspace corrects the last character. Paste is disabled. Escape pauses. Control or Command plus Enter restarts. Leaving the input pauses the timer.
Make this 5-minute test useful.
Five minutes is a longer practice session that can reveal changes in rhythm, concentration and accuracy. Warm up with an easier drill first, then choose a comfortable pace. Do not push through discomfort. A short break is more useful than forcing tired hands to finish another run.
Your focus for this run
Look at your overall accuracy and speed chart together. A steady, accurate run is useful progress even if the peak speed is lower than in a fifteen-second test.
How the score works
WPM is correct characters divided by five, divided by active minutes. Accuracy counts all attempted keystrokes, including mistakes you later correct. Switching tabs or leaving the typing area pauses the timer. Personal results stay on this device.
