30 Second Typing Test
A 30 second sprint shows your top burst speed. It is too short for fatigue or concentration lapses to matter, so scores usually run a few WPM higher than on longer tests.

When to use a 30 second test
Warm-ups, quick checks between tasks, and practising a fast, clean start.
Test length changes your score. Short tests reward a fast start; long tests reward steady rhythm and accuracy, and most people lose a few WPM as the clock runs. When you compare results, compare them at the same length. Your history labels each result with its duration.
Use the punctuation and numbers switches above the test to make it closer to real writing.

Frequently asked questions
How is the 30 second typing test scored?
Your net WPM is the number of correctly typed characters divided by 5, divided by 0.5 minutes. Accuracy is the share of keystrokes that were correct first time.
Can I use this result for a job application?
You can report it and download a free certificate, but employers who need a verified score usually run their own supervised test. Use this to practise at the same length.
