Accuracy is the percentage of correctly typed characters out of all characters you typed. If you typed 90 characters and 85 were correct, your accuracy is 94%.

The average typist reaches 40-45 WPM. Proficient typists hit 60-80 WPM. Professional typists and programmers often exceed 80-100 WPM. Competitive speed typists can reach 150+ WPM.

The 60-second mode is the most common benchmark for typing speed. Use 30 seconds for a quick check, or 2 minutes for a more representative measurement that smooths out short bursts.
