Speed you can rely on
In a one-minute test, a single tricky word can move your score by several WPM. Over two minutes those bumps even out, so the number you get is closer to your everyday speed. Look at the consistency score in your results too. Above 75% means your rhythm is steady, which usually means fewer mistakes.
Pacing tips for two minutes
- Start at about 90% of your top speed. You can push in the second minute.
- Breathe normally. Many people hold their breath when they type fast.
- Check the speed chart afterwards. A falling line means you started too fast; a rising one means you can start bolder next time.
