1 Minute Typing Test - FAQ
Is this typing speed test free?+
Yes. Priygop's typing test is 100% free with no signup. Your personal best is saved in your browser on this device.
How is WPM calculated?+
WPM (words per minute) is correct characters divided by 5, then divided by minutes typed. That is the standard typing-test formula.
What is CPM?+
CPM is characters per minute - how many correct characters you typed per minute. WPM is roughly CPM divided by 5.
What is a good typing speed?+
The average typist is around 40 WPM. 50–70 WPM is solid for office work. 80+ WPM is fast. Accuracy above 95% matters as much as speed.
Can I take a 1 minute, 3 minute, or 5 minute test?+
Yes. Use 60 seconds on this page, or open the 1 minute, 3 minute, and 5 minute test pages. You can also switch the timer on the test itself.
What is consistency?+
Consistency shows how steady your speed was during the test. A high score means your WPM did not jump around much from second to second.
Can I download a typing certificate?+
You can download a result card with your name, WPM, CPM, and accuracy. It is a practice result from Priygop, not an official exam certificate.
Can I paste my own text?+
Yes. Choose Custom, paste any English paragraph, then click Use this text. This is for normal writing - for real code, use Code Typing Practice.
Can I take a word-count test instead of a timer?+
Yes. Switch Length to Words and pick 10, 25, 50, 100, 200, or 500 words. You can still use Words, Quotes, or Custom text.
Can I practice without a timer?+
Yes. Choose Untimed, type as long as you want, then click Finish. Combine it with Words, Quotes, or Custom text.
What is Blind mode?+
Blind hides red and green mistake colors while you type. You still see the words. When the test ends, errors and accuracy are shown.
What is Sudden death?+
Sudden death ends the test on the first wrong key. Use it as a strict accuracy drill. Your WPM, CPM, and accuracy still appear at the end.
What is No backspace?+
No backspace turns off Backspace so you cannot correct a word. Finish the word and press space, even if you made a mistake.
Does the typing test show an on-screen keyboard?+
Yes. Turn on Keyboard in Style. The next letter is highlighted so you can look at the screen instead of your hands.
Is there a public leaderboard?+
No. Scores stay on your device. You can share your result on WhatsApp or LinkedIn if you want.
