Typing Test

Typing Test

Below you’ll find our free typing test, it’s easy and results are instant. Competition is fierce, especially in a market where so many people are trying to get the same job you are. You need an edge and that is exactly what you’ll find on this site!

 Companies are experiencing incredible turnout for the simplest of job postings and need a way to narrow down the selection; the best way to screen a potential employees is by giving applicants a typing test. You can have little or no education and still beat out others applying for the same job by simply being better at typing!

Java NOT detected! Sorry, but it looks as though you have Java disabled. Please enable Java to run this typing test.

I have seen it happen time and time again – a highly educated applicant with all the right qualifications failed to get a job simply because they took their typing speed for granted!

Be the person that blows away the competition by using our free typing tests; they are completely anonymous, extremely easy to use and straight forward without any surprises.

Online Typing Tests and Common Tricks

One of the most disturbing tricks I have found are sites offering a free typing test only to hold back the results until you pay a fee! Worse yet are sites that offer test results only by email and then sell your contact information to mass mailers.

Results of our typing test are instantaneous and appear on the screen at completion. We never require your personal information, email address or other identifying information, so you can rest assured that your test is private.

If you are a business, you can use our typing test to help screen applicants or help employees improve their typing speed. Again, everything is free and we don’t charge you just because you have a business. You’ll also enjoy the built in security features to prevent applicants from falsifying the results of their typing test.

Some organizations require test results to be verified. You’ll find our built in verification system works great and helps insure the accuracy of every test.

How to Take our Free Online Typing Test

Below you’ll find a number of options for this online typing test. Most options include text from popular authors unless you are using custom text. This online typing test also includes the ability to set a time limit ranging from 1 to 10 minutes.

As you start the test, two boxes will appear. The top box is the actual text used for the typing test while the bottom box displays the text you are typing.

Once you start, you’ll notice a small pause as the system prepares the test and then the first word will appear in blue. As soon as you start typing, the system begins recording your keystrokes and highlights any typing errors you may make in red.

Once a typing error has been marked red, you can not change it. Errors are marked in red only after you press the space bar, so you can correct a letter, but not a word. True typing tests account for accuracy by not allowing words to be corrected, and this online typing test is held to the same standard.

You’ll also notice a timer located to the right that counts up to the time you have allotted for the typing test.

Results are displayed immediately after the test is completed. You’ll notice the option to enter email and contact information, many organizations use this free online typing test as a way to screen applicants and in such cases, verified results are sent to the personnel department.

If you would like your score to be entered into our online typing test Hall of Fame, but don’t want to enter your email address or name, simply enter a space in each field and click on Send Results.

We welcome you to Test My Typing.com and hope your experience here is a positive one. If ever you have a suggestion, please leave a comment, we constantly strive to enhance the site!

  1. wpm & cpm both 99% Accuracy was excellent but it said my speed at 68 wpm was moderate. I’m a bit insulted – that’s darn near 70 wpm – a speed I am personally proud of. Not my 90 wpm I did when I was in school taking timed writings every day, but still pretty good I think 😀

  7. hello!my speed is 20 wpm . It seems impossible .nothing seems to help .don’t know how others manage .please help me

  9. Baammm cpm 98% / 265 and 95% / 66 for Wpm … I am truly amazing hahahhaha … i like this… you can read while increasing your Wpm !

  10. Hi, I’m from the Abu Dhabi and taking the test as part of a class assignment. Wanted to say hello and thank you for the test!

  11. Hi Nichole,

    Here is a copy of my typing test. I hope this typing test is enough for the requirement that is needed for the position. If not, let me know then I will re-do it. I hope this works for you. Can you attach this to my application I applied Saturday for the Public Record Specialist position.

    Thanks,
    Maria Bouzis

  41. Jolly good!

    How many words can you get at ten minutes typing? Alas, any less than ten isn’t a real indicator.

  48. 75wpm with 96% accuracy and 322 cpm with 97% accuracy and I’ve never had a typing job in my life. But I think I can do better. Retest!

  58. Most typing programs consider 36 WPM average. So not really impressed with the “moderate” speed comments. And question… is the WPM adjusted to reflect the errors?

  61. need more practice…im not happy with 75wpm it should be at least 82 – 85 wpm. Its a challenge to myself.

  63. 92 words per minute is splendid
    (I should get a good result I was a secretary for 24 years before I met Belinda!)
    God bless you all.

  66. YES!!!!!!!!! i finally got a 40 wpm im so happy and got a 100 accuracy:)

  67. I would really like to use this applet for my keyboarding students! Would you please provide me with the zip file for this?! Thank you.

  69. My son homeschool and I need to get a program where he can type his lessons on, which will tell me the speed he is typing and how many errors he has made. The work he does also needs to be printed, do you know of such a program I can use or download
    Regards

  71. @PIP: so serious about the numbers.

    @WINKI: like pip. serious too! even letters. tss.

    @ALVIN: the 3rd guy who’s next to winki. : ) much serious!!!

    so busy about the typingtest.

    my inspiration to do much better in typing. argh! XD

  73. gosh! my first time to try this typingtest? it feels pressure. i got my typingtest full of errors. think? i should improve more. really need to upgrade some “SPEED” wew! = l

  81. WPM of 67 and a CPM of 256 along with 100% accuracy…this is much harder then the easy school tests…

  84. Not fond of the literature in use. It makes for hard figurative typing because of the old world style language they use. I’d also like to comment on how bad these classic literature pieces are puntuated. What kind of editors were there back then?

  90. I just learned Touch Typing…. Having a speed of only 20WPM with 100% accuracy. Hope to improve upto 50WPM in two months. Practicing 1hr everyday!!!! :))

  101. I have like a high of 72, and I am 11 at the current time. I had to do it for school. It’s fun, though.

  103. Got 73 wpm, and wish I was faster. Was homeschooled, and argued my parents out of making me put my hands in the correct positions. They probably shouldn’t have listened to me.

  105. My average is around 80-85 wpm and 315-340 cpm with 95%+ accuracy on both and it still says my typing speed is ‘average’. Something is wrong!

  106. I type approximately 80-90 wpm with few errors. I use this testing to polish up my skills and be 100% accurate. I have only seen two reply messages on this board that are error free. I think even more important than being a fast typist, a person should focus on making minimal errors.

  110. MY speed is only 35 wpm but i want to increase my speed day by day.you have any formula tell on my e-mail address.

  115. Yay! I’m only 10 years old, and because I use the computer 24/7 I learned to use the computer faster. When I took the test I got an average of cpm is 96% and for wpm 94%! My accuracy was good and for cpm I got a rate of 180 and for my rate for wpm I got 41. Yippee!

  126. I think you guys are doing great! Typing 30 words a minute with no errors is average.
    My average speed is about 80 wpm.

  127. Hey, i got 34WPM! I bet none of ya’lls can beat that! AHAHAHAHAHAHAH :o) 😛 😀 I ROCK!!!!!!

  129. Please make the writing bigger because you cant’t see the words that you have to type.

  134. howdy!!!!!!!!!!!! my score was 25wpm!!!! thATS excellent! im getting better and better! thanks,
    mike 🙂

  136. my typing speed is 20, please help me to increase my typing speed.so plz giv me some instruction to improve it

  153. This is a very interesting story. I know I could not be able to type it in 1 minute, although I could type it in 4 minutes and 38 to 43 seconds.

  155. The changing of the colors as you are typing was very annoying! I hope that my message gets read after all these previous posts about everyone’s wpm.

  157. I would like to know how accurate i am, and how to improve it.
    pls give a test to check and how much words iam type per minutes.

  158. hi Sir,
    my speed 96 wpm its god gift and 100 per cent accuracy would get me a slightly better rating than “moderate”.

  164. Well, I got 20 wpm only but the good thing is that I only had 1 typo. I really am working on improving my typing but want to keep it accurate.

  170. I’m 11 years of age, my typing speed is 82wpm is that good enough? Slow? Average?

  171. Can anyone believe me my speed just 49 in only alphabetically not numerically…!
    How can I improve my numerically speed…?

  179. My typing speed is so much fast then all the computer user because i am doing this from my chilhood.

  180. wow i can’t belive that typing is a fun website and i love typing so fun if you didn’t type maybe you should start typing because it is so fun i love tyyyyypiiiiiiiinnnnnnnngggggggggg it is so cool yay for typing

  183. wauww.. this is very hard and very nice but its really hard to type 10 fingers..!! ı got 23 words in one minute..:(

  185. Not a very accurate test. If you make one mistake, every word after that, even if spelled correctly, shows up in red! I type approximately 80 wpm, but your test shows me at best at 35 wpm because of this problem.

  190. I have no idea how to spell most of these words!!! It is very hard to type a word if you don’t know how to spell it!

  192. my name is ladonna and i will beat this test i know i can so dont worry you can trust ladonna semster alrite good night every body lol 🙂

  199. 96 wpm, beat my last score of 81. And beat the schools record. Im so proud. TOO BAD WE HAVE A SUB. I screen capped it though..

  203. I wish there were more than three selections to choose from in the typing test.
    Great site though.

  207. It’s not a bright idea posting your school name, or even typing that comment. Hopefully it’ll get removed soon, it wasn’t a smart idea

  211. Hi,

    I’m from Prince William County Schools in class right now, and I’ve decided to test my typing by entering inappropriate vulgar messages.

    My goal is to keep doing this and have the website owner contact the school with records, such as internal ip address, post times and match that to the computer and student in class.

    I’m really not smart and looking forward to getting some time off from school – my parents will be so proud of me!

    Here I go 🙂

  226. I think im the best typer there is i been experienced since the 7th grade..lol

  238. Hello Sir I’m Rahul and I’m stundent of arena.

  253. I typed 35WPM with 95% accuracy and 170CPM with 98% accuracy. I think I focus too much on my accuracy and would like to do better with my speed…

  256. 31wpm 100% but I looked at the keys. I can’t type without looking at the keys. I guess with practice.

  258. gosh! my typing speed is so slowly, i need to imrpove this…
    before i get 28wpm, but now its only 17wpm…im very disappointed my performance,,grrrrrrr..

  259. How can I improve my typing skills? I really would to apply in a call center company and with the typing skills I have now I don’t think I can make it.

  267. im hopeless 21 wmp at 85%, the worst of it is i participarted in one of these test’s a year ago and it’s gone dowm from 29 wpm lol

  270. The right margins in paragraphs given for the typing tests are cut off. It causes you to automatically make a mistake if you don’t know the wording….can you fix this for better accuracy?

  283. Why is it that everytime I type half way through all the words turn to red and are incorrect. It does not look like I skipped a line or any words? Help!!

  284. I keep taking the tet but before I can focus on the results it clears the screen. How do go back and see my results?

  287. hi friends i have got 70wpm, and i wa hopping the 100wpm the best typing speed
    and i hope after hard work i will get this speed insha-allah

  288. Hi, this is shenaz . I am glad to say that i have made my typing speed more faster because of this typing speed. I think that there should be competition while typing speed, there should be more competitors through internet only.

    Thank you

  289. HEY PEOPLE!
    wooo new record
    123 words per minute
    5 errors
    13 years old
    BEAT THAT HAHAHHAHAA
    i rock at typing!

  292. i wanna know how fast i am and wanna improve because whenever i have to type 6 page essays, it takes me 4ever, even writing emals or chatting on msn…………………. I NEED HELP!!
    pls help……..(u wont believe how long it took me 2 type this whole thing)
    I NEED HELP!!

  293. This website is great but for some reason it wont load the typing speed test which works just fine on my gf’s comp, but not mine! don’t know why its a direct link but nothing O.O

  296. i just want to know my typing speed that how i can manage my time with typing if it ll be 3 minutes.

  298. wow there is a lot of people commenting on this page, and im not that fast of a typer,[[ im being honest. ]]

  302. I love this test but I’m so bad at typing it seems like it will take forever for me to get my speed up to something that is even passable! -.-

  304. a couple years ago i was able to type about 60 – 65 wpm but I’ve slowed down a bit i only got 56. I’ve got to start working on my typing again.

  309. Hi my name is elizabeth and i wanted to type fast and so i was tpying alot and i love tpying and i can tpye fast…….. now i love tpying i’ am going to pratice so i can get faster and faster so i can be a pro !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  316. I have to agree with Stacey…I can’t type 89 wpm, but I prob haven’t been typing for as long as she has…lol. But like Stacey said she wasn’t relaxed, and neither was I or I could prob do 45 wpm and that is with no mistakes.

  317. some of you are not telling the truth i know or maybe the people who sucked on this test are just afraid to tell the truth. There is no way that most of you got over 70 wpm. 70 wpm is about the speed of a professional typist and there is no way that most of you here are professional typists.

  318. i really like this activity!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! i just wish that i could get my typing speed up a little bit though……… the highest that i can ever get is 32 and that is really bad and it stinks!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  320. I got a higher score on other tests. Cool it with the criticism!! My typing is extrmly slow ya right!!!!

  324. hey these is very good process to increase my speed.
    initally it was 20 and now it ranges between 25-30 and accuracy is 100%

  325. test type- 10 minutes
    speed – cpm-187 , accuracy -98%
    wpm-39 , accuracy-95%
    conclusion–a lot of work to do!!!
    aim —breaking the 100 wpm mark ,
    method i will adopt — kick the ass out the keyboard and burn my fingers

  326. really good siite to practice your typing ability…! good job…! two thumbs up for the creator…! \m/

  327. Happy I found this site…I get so nervous when taking typing test…Have
    one this week must do 55 WPM…so far my average is 60…but I’m still
    nervouse…I really hate typing test…Do anyone know how to survive taking
    typing tests.

  331. Its a good way to practice your typing skills and to get better.I’m not a typing type of person but i got 93%.

  332. Hey Memphis did you say that you work from home. If so where because I would love to work from home.

  337. I just got 92wpm @ 372cpm with a 97% accuracy and it says my typing speed is moderate. Really? Lol wow.

  345. I know all these stories by heart. I think it is very fun just to go back and type them. Ha I feel old. I first started typing them in the 7th grade. I am a Freshman now 9th grade. man… so long ago it seems 😉 🙂

  363. I need to take a test in capitals only. the entire test will be timed like that. I am having a hard time finding a test that allows me to check my speed with capitals only and phone numbers mixed in. is there a test like this.

  365. If you want to save your results, just hit CTRL / Print Screen and the whole screen will be copied, to paste into a word file.

  369. My types was 58 words per minute. In high school it was around 80, I guess I don’t type a lot of papers in college.

  370. OK, i just got 69wpm and it said i needed improvement? Plus, you can’t backspace after typing a word. I agree with that person above me with the long name. It was OK, but it needs improvement.

  372. i have no idea but when i take the typing tests online i feel like sort of rushed but when i dont i can type 30 wpm

  379. I am not a computer tech, could you please direct me in “laman terms” on how to reach your typing test page. I am looking for work and need to know what my typing speed is.

    Thank you for your help.

    Shauna Dalton

  381. It’s nice to offer a free test that can be used to prove one’s skills for an employer but I’ve been unable to find a way to save my results for submission to an online application.

  382. If some one types a mistake from the beginning, it does not allow you to go forward with corrected typing. The typing by the applicant stays in red and it does not correct …

    Also, what is the average time to give the test?

  383. Three choices are not enough! Need various texts to choose from so we can have more of a change to test ourselves with. You should also add some tests for numbers. Would be helpful to improve and test ourselves with numbers as well. Thank you!

  387. I got 51wmp on here, but I don’t like this test very much because it highlights the words for you, if you go to a job, then it will not do this. It is much better practice if you find a test that just has a paragraph on top, the words you type on the bottom, and nothing more…

  388. hello im a good one but maybe i should practice more head jobs( if u no wat i mean

  389. its been awhile……i need to improve my skills now…..especially my typingtest…

  390. i want to know that my friend myesha want to learn how to type fast how can i know

  391. this is so much fun i can type very the fast as a rabbit can run can you belive that it is soo much fun and your hand doesn’t get tired of wrighting all the time but in sted you can type any thing like storys or letters too i love to type storys and letters and also type all my notes that i take in school. that is so much fun or what thank you a lot

  393. I know I can type at least 50wpm or more but whenever I am being tested I freak out…rush myself and always get a score of 40-47wpm. Grr….

  395. Not such a great test. I found it hard to follow with the colors jumping around. I still had decent speed and accuracy but I prob would have been better if the words didn’t change color.

  396. I need to email my typing test results to a potential employer. How do I do that? Please respond ASAP! Results must be sent immediately or I will not be considered for job.

  397. I am want to take this typing test and it says my computer does not have this plugin installed. Does anybody know what the name of this plugin is called. It doesn’t tell me and I need it even on the othre typing test websites I have gone too.

  398. 92 words per minute is splendid
    (I should get a good result I was a secretary for 24 years before I met Belinda!)
    God bless you all.

  400. thanks…..for such a nice software.

    my speed is not so good, its 36 wpm… i will try to improve my speed.

    God bless you all.

  404. This is very good for people who want to know how fast they can type…thumbs up for this typing test.

  405. i really like this site because of this site now i can
    type faster and also i want to thank to my teacher that told me this site:)!!!!!!

  406. My wpm speed was moderate even though it was 65 wpm >.<
    This test is kinda bogus! 😀

  407. I would like to know how in the heck you even begin to take this typing test I have tried at least five times now and nothing at all happens I am begining to believe this site is real if anyone knows how to get started here just let me know ok I would love to check my typing speed to see how fast I am on here. Danny

  409. I totally need to improve my typing skills. I just hope this is as much help as I need.

  411. My typing is getting better and better each day. I try to take this test every day to improve my speed.

  412. “your typing speed is slow, try to pay more attention”!!!
    this is not a very encouraging comment when one has just completed the test at 45 words per minute.
    I suggest users try a different site if they wish to remain motivated.

  415. for accuracy I got, CPM: 100% and WPM: 100%. Speed is 71 WPM. ohhh yeahhh I still got it..!!! lol.

  416. I just find out the difference. WPM is Words Per Minute and CPM is Characters Per Minute for those that might be wondering. I knew what WPM was just not the CPM. Thanks

  418. You CAN print, you need to just click on File….Print Preview….it will bring up all the pages, the test results are on the 2nd page…choose just to print the 2nd page and you have a print out of your typing results.

  419. Good test service for all the people who need to know how capable they are.

  422. Need to no how fast I can type!!! Like duhh I type 80 words a min on my cell. -lolz-
    love ya all!! Ite peace….

  430. Do you have a ten key test with just the numberic numbers, no dashes or plus signs. If you don’t do you know of a website that night? I need to take a ten key test and it is strictly numbers with no dashes or periods. This is for my employrers.

    Please advise

    Thank you,
    Paulette

  431. dang usually I get over 70 but my n keeps sticking and apparently I’m it’s only 64. I’ll try again….tried to post but it didnt so….but now it says 68 so idk. I come from the generation where you took typing classes from like 2nd grade and continued on until 9th or whatever.

  432. First I got 98 words per minute and I’m moderate??

    Then I did 105 and got “quite fast” rating.
    cool 🙂

  433. i want to improve my typing speed and also a bit accquarcy more plz tell me the way how to improve more

  436. CPM 98%, WPM 96%, 95 words per minute, 384 characters per minute. They rated me “excellent.” I MUST BE AWESOME!!!

  439. I just find out the difference. WPM is Words Per Minute and CPM is Characters Per Minute for those that might be wondering. I knew what WPM was just not the CPM. Thanks

  446. 89 WPM and 349 CPM not too shabby but then again I’m not relaxed or I’d be well over 100… c’est la vie baby! 🙂 – it’s good to work in the USA!

  447. What? I just did 86 wpm and this thing is saying that is moderate. That is quite absurd, in my opinion.

  449. yeah i totally agree with you up there my typing speed isnt slow and they said it was ! maybe some nicer comments there buckeroo !

  454. Yeah ive got 90mph but i think its a bit unfair i usually type like for 6Hrs a day so you know a bit boring job but i get to stay home xD…

  455. dude !!!

    i just got 74 wpm and that is not goosd its really good so you might want to change what it says!~!!!!!~!!!!!!~!!!!!~!!!!!~!!!!!!~~~~~~~~~

  457. this web suite is the bomb yo is very good i got 55 as my fastest word per min with like 95% accuracy isnt tht awsome? W00t!@!!!!!

  460. It was good, I enjoyed it and now I can see where I need to improve. I used to type for a living working in call centers and things like that so I was very fast and accurate.

  464. I was hoping 92 wpm and 100 per cent accuracy would get me a slightly better rating than “moderate”. lol

  466. Used you website to practice and take the test. I like this site, however, it would be nice if there was a way to print the results.

  468. I would like to know how fast I can type without looking at the keyboard and my accuracy to go along with it.
