Frequently Asked Questions
What is a good typing speed?
An average typing speed is around 40 Words Per Minute (WPM). However, for professional roles, a speed of 65 to 75 WPM is often considered good. Competitive typists can exceed 120 WPM. The key is to find a balance between speed and accuracy.
How is Words Per Minute (WPM) calculated?
WPM is typically calculated by taking the total number of characters typed (including spaces), dividing it by 5 (the average word length), and then adjusting for the time taken. The standard formula is: `(Total Characters / 5) / Time in Minutes`. Errors are usually not included in the final score but are tracked separately as your accuracy percentage.
How can I improve my typing accuracy?
To improve accuracy, focus on proper hand positioning (touch typing) and rhythm. Slow down your typing to focus solely on hitting the correct keys. Don't look at the keyboard. With consistent practice, your muscle memory will develop, and both your accuracy and speed will naturally increase.
