What is a good typing speed?

Yes, 64 WPM is above average. The average typing speed is around 40 WPM, so 64 WPM is faster than most people. It is good for office work, students, and casual gamers. Professional typists and competitive typists often reach 80-100+ WPM.

What is a good typing speed for a 3 minute test?

A good typing speed for a 3-minute test is 50-70 WPM. Because the test is longer than a 15 or 30-second test, fatigue and accuracy matter more. A score above 60 WPM with 95% accuracy is solid for most people.

How is WPM calculated?

WPM (Words Per Minute) is calculated by dividing the total number of characters typed by 5 (the standard word length) and then dividing by the time elapsed in minutes. Only correctly typed characters count toward your WPM.

Pro Tips

● Focus on accuracy first —speed comes naturally as you make fewer mistakes.
● Keep your eyes on the screen, not the keyboard. Touch typing is key to high WPM.
● The average typing speed is ~40 WPM. Above 60 WPM is good, and 80+ WPM is excellent.
● Use the 3-minute test to measure endurance and consistency, or the 5-minute test for a real challenge.
