About the Paragraph test
The paragraph typing test uses complete paragraphs — capital letters, commas, full stops and all — instead of a stream of loose words. You have two minutes to type as much as you can.
Because real writing is full of punctuation and capitals, this is the test that best predicts how fast you actually type emails, essays and reports.
Tips for a better score
- 1
Use the opposite Shift key to the letter you are capitalising.
- 2
Read a few words ahead so punctuation never surprises you.
- 3
Keep an even rhythm through commas and full stops rather than pausing at each one.
Paragraph typing test FAQ
How long is the Paragraph 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.
