A stricter test for when you want a figure you can rely on. The duration is fixed, the timer cannot be paused, pasting is blocked and the result carries a unique reference.
Before you start
The test begins on your first keystroke and runs to the end of the fixed duration.
There is no pause. Restarting asks for confirmation and discards the attempt.
Backspace is allowed, but corrected mistakes still count against your accuracy.
Use full screen and sit as you would for the real test.

You can practise on a phone or tablet, but a physical keyboard gives a far more accurate WPM measurement. On-screen keyboards add their own delay.
Your speed and accuracy are above. A free account opens the rest of this test: every character you missed, how steady your pace was, a replay of your own typing, and a history that is still here next week.
The full breakdown: raw and net WPM, CPM, error rate, corrected and uncorrected mistakes.
Every mistake listed: the key you meant, the key you hit, and the word it happened in.
A replay of this attempt, keystroke by keystroke, at the speed you typed it.
Consistency: where you sped up, where you stalled, and by how much.
A saved history, progress charts and weak-key practice built from your own results.
Certificates, which carry a number anyone can verify.
Free, and it takes an email address and a password. Nothing here is behind a payment and nothing expires. You can keep taking tests without an account for as long as you like.
This result is good enough for a certificate. Log in to create one - certificates are issued to accounts only, so that the number on them can be verified afterwards.

How this compares to an employer test
This mode mirrors the conditions most typing assessments use: a fixed clock, no pausing and no pasting. It cannot promise to match any particular employer, and it is not an invigilated or accredited examination.
Before a real test, check four things with the employer: the required duration, whether backspace is permitted, the WPM and accuracy thresholds, and the keyboard layout the test machine uses. Practising at the wrong duration is the most common avoidable mistake.
