Students in grade 10 are usually 15 to 16 years old. A common goal for grade 10 is 40 to 50 WPM. At this stage the focus is typing and thinking at the same time.
Typically longer essays, practice for college entrance exams and forms for a first part time job. These goals are rough guides that many teachers use. No national standard sets a number of words per minute for each grade, so your school may ask for something different.
The punctuation and numbers tests, because real writing has both.
If you want a part time job, 40 WPM with good accuracy is enough for most counter and office roles.
The test above uses the same common words as the main typing test. It is the normal typing test, so your results can be saved to your account and ranked. Press any key to start. Your speed is shown in words per minute (WPM), where one word is five characters.
