1 Minute Typing Test

A 60-second round is long enough for a real measure — the first fifteen seconds hide the fact that you warm up as you go — but short enough to take twice a day without it feeling like a chore. One minute is also the length most typing tests use to compare scores, so your result is directly comparable with the averages quoted in job ads and speed benchmarks.

You get the same engine as the main test: the passage scrolls with your cursor so you never lose your place, raw WPM counts every keystroke while net WPM counts only the correct ones, and every finished run feeds your personal best, seven-day chart, and streak.

The fastest gains come from accuracy, not force. A 40 WPM run at 98% accuracy beats a 55 WPM run at 90% because every mistake costs you a correction later. Watch the key-miss list under your progress after each round and slow down deliberately on those characters for a few tests.

Take the test at roughly the same time each day and the seven-day chart becomes a real improvement curve. Two focused minutes a day — one test, one glance at the chart — is genuinely enough to move your score within a couple of weeks.
