if you've never had proper typing tests, then I'd suspect your WPM scores are not what you think. you may be typing keys at 110-120 WPM, but what does the score look like if you adjust for mistakes? It makes a bigger difference than most people are willing to admit.
- JohnMakin 1y agoI'm sorry for any undue snark here, but what do you mean by "proper" typing test and what do you think I meant in the OP by 1 minute tests? There are a plethora of online tests available that measure this with good accuracy and of course I have taken several. This is with <1% errors I am speaking of. I generally have very low errors. In addition, by late highschool, I had to pass a typing test for a computer class I took, and am well aware of how fast I type by now.
- dylan604 1y agoA proper typing test will reduce your WPM for each mistake. It's not a raw counting of keys pressed in 60s.
- JohnMakin 1y agoOk, apparently you do not understand again or read at all what I just wrote - typing tests online don't work this way. Neither did the one I took in highschool. I would be hard pressed to find a single one that doesn't account for errors and is just a raw count of the keys pressed. What would that even look like?
- stavros 1y agoJust randomly mash the keys as fast as possible, that's your WPM!
- zuhsetaqi 1y agoYou know that WPM stands for Words per Minute? So of course it’s not about pressing keys but typing grammatically correct words.
