Test WPM for Job Requirements
Check your words-per-minute against data-entry and admin role requirements.
💡 WPM counts every 5 characters as one "word" — the standard typing metric. Net WPM (shown when you finish) subtracts errors, so accuracy matters as much as raw speed. Average is ~40 WPM; 60+ is fast.
Jobs tips
Many admin and data-entry roles ask for 40–60 WPM; transcription often wants 60–80+.
Employers usually care about net WPM (speed minus errors), which this test reports when you finish.
Run several passages and quote your average — a single lucky run isn't representative.
