Because the words are easy, your score here will usually be a little higher than on a normal test. That's fine - use it to build confidence and rhythm.
Who this test is for
The easy test works well for:
- Beginners who know the letter keys but not punctuation yet
- Kids practicing at school or home
- Warming up before a 5 minute test
- Testing after a break from typing
Ready for a harder test?
Once you can type the easy test at 30 WPM with 95% accuracy, move to the standard typing test. When that feels easy too, try the advanced test with long words, capitals and symbols.
