About the 20-minute test
The 20-minute typing test gives you a stream of common words and 20 minutes on the clock. The timer starts on your first keystroke and the test ends automatically when it reaches zero.
Twenty minutes is the longest test here and the truest measure of working typing speed. Very few people can hold their short-test WPM this long, so it is excellent stamina training.
Tips for a better score
- 1
Do not chase the clock; settle into a rhythm and let the minutes pass.
- 2
Keep going after a mistake — you can backspace to fix it, but hesitating costs more than the typo.
- 3
Look at the word ahead of the one you are typing so your fingers never wait for your eyes.
20-Minute typing test FAQ
How long is the 20-minute test?
It runs for 20 minutes. The clock starts on your first keystroke and the test stops automatically at zero.
How are WPM and accuracy calculated?
Net WPM counts only correctly typed characters, divided by five (the standard word length) and by the minutes elapsed. Raw WPM counts everything you typed. Accuracy is the share of your keystrokes that were correct.
What happens when I make a mistake?
Nothing stops — wrong characters turn red and you can keep typing. Press Backspace to go back and fix them. Uncorrected errors lower your net WPM, and every slip counts against accuracy.
Is this typing test free?
