Why choose 3 minutes?
Fatigue and focus show up after the first minute. A 3-minute test gives a more honest picture for school assignments, office work and many job screenings.
Expect your WPM to be a little lower than in a 1-minute test. That is normal - judge progress by comparing 3-minute results with other 3-minute results.
Pacing plan
- Minute 1: settle in at about 90% of your top speed.
- Minute 2: hold the same rhythm, correct only errors that are right behind the cursor.
- Minute 3: push slightly - you know the text style now.
- Take a short break between attempts; tired fingers make more mistakes.
