Students in grade 12 are usually 17 to 18 years old. A common goal for grade 12 is 50 to 60 WPM. At this stage the focus is a speed you can keep up for an hour.
Typically a college essay, scholarship forms and a long senior project. 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.
A ten minute test now and then, to check that your accuracy stays above 95%.
Colleges do not test typing, but a student who types 50 WPM has far more time left for thinking and checking.
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.
