Type the words as they appear. When you finish, look at the speed chart: if your line drops in the second minute, building stamina will raise your everyday typing speed.
Who uses 2 minute typing tests?
Some schools and training programs use two minutes as their standard timing because it reduces the effect of a lucky first sentence. It's also a sensible choice if you're preparing for a job test but don't yet have the stamina for five minutes.
Reading your speed chart
The purple line shows your WPM building up over time, and the grey line shows raw keystrokes per second. Red marks are seconds where you made errors. A flat purple line means you kept a consistent pace - that's the goal.
Frequently asked questions
Is a 2 minute test better than a 1 minute test?
It's more stable. Longer tests average out good and bad moments, so the result is closer to your real everyday typing speed.
Why does my speed drop in the second minute?
Usually fatigue or losing focus. Short daily practice sessions and a relaxed posture build the stamina that keeps your speed steady.
Can I change the test length?
Yes, use the buttons above the test to switch between 1, 2 and 3 minutes, or pick another test from the related links.
