A little help along the way

Follow these steps. Every option is explained underneath. Everything happens in your browser; nothing you type is sent anywhere.

  1. Choose how longPick 15 seconds, 30 seconds, 1 minute, 2 minutes or 5 minutes above the words. A minute is chosen already. Under More options, a test can end after a number of words instead.
  2. Choose what to typeCommon words are the thousand used most. Passages from books are real sentences with capitals and punctuation. Numbers are groups of digits, as in data entry.
  3. Start typingThe clock starts with your first key. Type each word and press Space to go on to the next; a wrong word can be gone back into with Backspace. On a phone, tap the words to bring up the keyboard.
  4. Read your resultYour words a minute and the share of keys you pressed right come first, then raw speed, consistency, a chart of every second with your mistakes, and the words you typed wrong.
  5. Go againTab then Enter, or Esc, starts a new test. Again gives you the same words, so you can see whether you did better; New text makes new ones. Watch it again plays your test back as it was typed.

Questions people ask

How are keystrokes an hour counted?
Every key that typed the right digit or moved on to the next number, over the hours the test took. A minute of 150 right keys is 9,000 keystrokes an hour.
Do I have to use the number pad?
No, the number row works too, but data entry tests expect the number pad. Enter on the pad moves on to the next number, as Space does.
What speed do data entry jobs ask for?
Often 8,000 to 10,000 keystrokes an hour with high accuracy, though each employer sets its own. A test here is practice, not a certificate.
