1. The test is flawed.
Net Speed: 38 WPM (words/minute)
Accuracy: 68%
Gross Speed: 56 WPM (words/minute)

They don't seem to have the standard spell check incorporated. My "teh" didn't get corrected with "the." So I reject the results uncategorically.

8. hmm
83 wpm, 97% accuracy.

My land speed record is 114 wpm on a computer, going back and correcting my mistakes.

Back in the 1980s on a Selectric, my record was 97 wpm with 2 errors in five minutes.


can't get a job --- who cares about speed AND accuracy and English skills anymore???

Nobody, that's who.

I've done better... :rofl: I think I could type faster if I were just to type for a full minute and then count the words I'd typed, as it's easier to type something coming out of my own brain than to type something I'm also reading at the same time!
