How speed and accuracy are measured
WPM = (correctly typed characters ÷ 5) ÷ minutes elapsed Accuracy = correctly typed characters ÷ total characters typed
Counting every 5 characters as one "word" is the standard typing-test convention, since real words vary in length. The timer starts on your first keystroke and keeps running until you type the full passage or press Reset.
