What Your Results Mean

- Accuracy: The percentage of your character entries that were correct. Fixing a mistake improves your final text, but the original error still affects accuracy.
- Characters: The letters, spaces, and punctuation currently in your typing box.
- Errors Made: Every incorrect character entry, including mistakes you later fix.
- Uncorrected Errors: Mistakes that remain in your final text when the test ends.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is a 30-second typing test accurate?
It measures that short attempt, but one pause or mistake can noticeably change the score. Compare several attempts with the same settings for a more useful picture.
How is WPM calculated in 30 seconds?
For a complete 30-second attempt, divide correct characters by five, then multiply by two. For example, 100 correct characters gives 40 WPM.
Can I pause the 30-second timer?
No. Once your first character starts the test, pauses and corrections use the remaining time. Restart when you want a fresh attempt.
