Typing Speed Test - FREE Typing Test from Englishtype

"Given the ubiquity of keyboards and the growing expectation that secondary school pupils and university students will type their essays and coursework. I think it is one of the most useful skills a child can learn - at any age from seven upwards. A self-teaching computer program I can recommend is Englishtype. It was developed by Jo Westwood an educational psychologist, and is structured around the national curriculum. A senior version is aimed at teenagers and adults. With concentrated practice, it should be possible to learn in a week a skill that may well last a lifetime."

by John Clare, The Daily Telegraph.

Do you know how many words you can type in one minute? Find out here with our exclusive Typing Speed Test.

Typing speed is measured in words per minute and anyone looking to become a "proper" touch typist should look to increase it. The average typing speed of individuals who already learned how to type is 30 wpm (words per minute) so anything above this figure is good but you should aim for 60 to 90 wpm.

Take our typing speed test now to see how fast you can touch type.
