Mines like 35. I know, that’s really bad. For those of you who don’t know, WPM stands for words per minute. It’s how fast you can type. You can take the test to find out here: Typing Test · Check your Speed and Practice, WPM
I type well enough to suit me.
I liken this to questions like “How long does your yoyo sleep?”
I got 35 also! But with 10 mistakes. I don’t think that’s too bad…
i got 18.10 with 8 mistakes… not too good
EDIT: Retook the test and got 29.17 with 3 mistakes. Getting better…
~ 50 WPM with 94+ accuracy.
I can type pretty fast if I’m just typing but not when I have to type something I’m reading…
99.26 WPM
99.39% accuracy, 1 mistake
according to that test.
42.47 wpm with 98.16% accuracy.
27 WPM with 93 accuracy.
I’m a fan of TypeRacer myself.
I am slowly switching over to Dvorak so my speed isn’t worth bragging about in any way, shape, or form.
just got 38 on TR :o
Speed: 85.91
Accuracy: 99.61 - 1 mistake.
~80 w/ 99% accuracy. I know I can do better though…
Mine is like an average of 68 with 97% accuracy on average.
about 70 words per minute… and 90% accurate…
50.27 1 error / took a typing class so not too bad I guess.
Speed: 82.06 WPM
Accuracy: 96.4%, 16 mistakes.
Hmm, I used to be able to type 80 wpm with decent acuracy. But i’m since out of practice. I haven’t actually checked my wpm for a while.
I’ve been meaning to switch over to Dvorak as well, but the thing I’m worried about is that I’ll forget QWERTY ![]()
Is it similar to learning 2nd languages? Like, being able to easily switch back and forth?
YEaaaa! power to you! I think it was second year of high school that I switched over for fun (wrote my paper in it, and that helped a lot). I’m actually not sure if it really increased my words per minute, but it was definitely fun and interesting to do something funky. I’m doing about 108 wpm with 95-100% accuracy if the test isn’t funky (I mean not funky by the text being closer to what I type daily). Not too shabby, but I always wonder how people get to the 200’s…
