How to type faster

  1. Rest your fingers on the home row, ASDF and JKL;, and use all ten.
  2. Don't look at the keys. Slow down until you don't need to.
  3. Aim for 95% accuracy before you push for speed.
  4. Practise for 10 minutes a day. A daily short session beats a weekly long one.

Typing Speed Test
questions

How is words per minute calculated?

Correctly typed characters, including spaces, divided by 5, divided by the minutes of the test. 200 correct characters in 60 seconds is 40 WPM. Raw WPM counts every character you typed, right or wrong.

What is a good typing speed?

Around 40 WPM is a common average for adults, 60 to 80 is fast, and professional typists often pass 100. Accuracy matters as much: fixing mistakes costs more time than typing a little slower.

How can I type faster?

Learn to touch type with your fingers on the home row and stop looking at the keyboard. Practise accuracy first, in short daily sessions, and speed follows.
