Typing Test

Yes. Every typing test on TypeDojo is free, and you can retake it as many times as you like. There is nothing to download and no trial period to expire.

No. You can take any test as a guest and see your full speed and accuracy result straight away, without signing up. An account is only needed if you want your results saved, so you can look back and see how your speed improves over time.

It depends on your age. Students in grades 1–4 usually type 15–25 WPM, middle and high school students 30–45 WPM, and most adults sit between 40 and 55 WPM. Anything above 65 WPM is professional speed. Early on, accuracy is worth more than pace — get comfortably past 90% before you push the number.

The test stays on the same character until you type it correctly, so you can never drift out of step with the text. Every wrong keypress is counted, and getting the character right afterwards does not cancel it — accuracy measures how often you hit the right key first time. Mistakes cost speed too, because only correct characters count towards your WPM.

You will get a far more reliable result on a device with a physical keyboard. An on-screen touch keyboard measures thumb typing, which is a genuinely different skill, so the speed it produces is not comparable with a keyboard result.

Speed follows accuracy, so slow down until your fingers stop guessing. Keep them resting on the home row, watch the screen instead of your hands, and practise in short sessions often rather than one long one. The typing lessons build the muscle memory — the test only measures it.
