Because it is so short, one mistake costs more here than in longer tests. Do a few in a row and look at the average in your history.
Frequently asked questions
Why is my 15 second score higher than my 1 minute score?
Short tests measure burst speed before fatigue and lost focus set in. Longer tests are a better guide to your real everyday typing speed.
How is WPM calculated?
Words per minute counts every 5 correctly typed characters, including spaces, as one word, divided by the minutes elapsed. Raw WPM counts every keystroke, right or wrong. Accuracy is the share of keystrokes that were correct, so mistakes still count even if you fix them.
Is WPMTrack free and private?
Yes. Every test, lesson and certificate is free with no account. Your results and history are stored only in this browser and are never uploaded.
What does consistency mean?
Consistency measures how steady your speed was from second to second. 100% means you typed at exactly the same pace the whole time; lower numbers mean bursts and pauses.
