About the Punctuation test
The punctuation typing test fills every sentence with the marks ordinary tests leave out: commas, full stops, question and exclamation marks, apostrophes, quotation marks and capital letters.
If your speed drops sharply here compared with a plain word test, punctuation is what is holding back your real-world typing.
Tips for a better score
- 1
Use the Shift key on the opposite hand to the symbol.
- 2
Practise the apostrophe and quotation-mark key until it is automatic.
- 3
Slow down slightly for symbols; speed returns once they are familiar.
Punctuation typing test FAQ
How long is the Punctuation test?
It runs for 1 minute. 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.
