About the Numbers test

The numbers typing test replaces words with groups of digits. For one minute you type nothing but numbers separated by spaces, using the row above the letters.

Most typists are far slower and less accurate on digits than on letters, so this test quickly shows — and fixes — one of the most common gaps in keyboard skill.

Tips for a better score

  1. 1

    Anchor on the home row and reach up — do not move your whole hand.

  2. 2

    Left hand covers 1–5, right hand covers 6–0.

  3. 3

    Say the digits in your head in pairs to keep a rhythm.

Numbers typing test FAQ

How long is the Numbers test?
It runs for 1 minute. The clock starts on your first keystroke and the test stops automatically at zero.
How are WPM and accuracy calculated?
Net WPM counts only correctly typed characters, divided by five (the standard word length) and by the minutes elapsed. Raw WPM counts everything you typed. Accuracy is the share of your keystrokes that were correct.
What happens when I make a mistake?
Nothing stops — wrong characters turn red and you can keep typing. Press Backspace to go back and fix them. Uncorrected errors lower your net WPM, and every slip counts against accuracy.
Is this typing test free?
