About the Coding test
The coding typing test swaps prose for real code: short snippets of JavaScript, Python, HTML, CSS and SQL, complete with brackets, operators and quotation marks. Press Enter at the end of each line — indentation is filled in for you, as it would be in an editor.
Programmers spend much of their time on the symbol keys that ordinary typing tests ignore. This test targets exactly those keys.
Tips for a better score
- 1
Learn the bracket and symbol keys by touch — they are where coders lose the most time.
- 2
Type matching pairs deliberately: ( ), { }, [ ].
- 3
Expect a lower WPM than on prose; that is normal for code.
Coding typing test FAQ
How long is the Coding test?
It runs for 2 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?
Yes. Every test on ProTypingGames is free, needs no account, and runs in your browser. Your best score is saved on your own device.
