What to Expect in a Typing Test

A computer-based typing test typically involves transcribing a given passage accurately and quickly. You will be provided with a passage, either on paper or displayed on the screen, and you will need to type it into a designated software or text editor. Key aspects to focus on include:

• Speed: Measured in Words Per Minute (WPM), often net WPM after deducting errors.
• Accuracy: The percentage of correct words typed. Even minor errors like typos, missing words, or extra words can impact your score.
• Formatting: Sometimes, specific formatting instructions (e.g., paragraph breaks, capitalization, punctuation) may also be part of the evaluation.

Be prepared for a quiet and focused environment. The system will likely record your typing speed and errors automatically.
