Office jobs mostly mean emails, forms, messages and notes. This test uses normal sentences with punctuation, the way you would type them at work.
| Job | Common requirement |
|---|---|
| Customer service and support | 35 to 45 WPM |
| Receptionist and front desk | 40 to 50 WPM |
| Administrative assistant | 45 to 60 WPM |
| Executive assistant, legal secretary | 60 to 80 WPM |
Employers look at three things: speed, accuracy and how steady you are. A score of 45 WPM with 97% accuracy usually beats 60 WPM with 90%. If your accuracy is below 95%, slow down a little.
Support and reception jobs often mean typing while talking to someone. Practise by reading the text aloud while you type a little of it, or by typing a short note while you listen to a podcast. It trains your hands to work without your full attention.
Most employers ask for 45 to 60 WPM with 95% accuracy.
Yes, so it feels like real office writing.
Take a three minute test a few times a week, keep your accuracy above 95%, and learn to touch type if you do not already.
