ABOUT THIS TEST
MEASURE WITH CONTEXT.
Use the same duration when comparing attempts. Your result reflects the full two minutes, not just your fastest stretch.
Correct WPM counts the characters that match the passage, divided by five and by the time in minutes. Raw WPM counts every character you typed. Accuracy compares correct character keypresses with all character keypresses.
