What employers look at

For clerical, data-entry, customer-support and transcription roles, recruiters usually care about two numbers: net speed (WPM) and accuracy. A result such as 40 WPM with 95%+ accuracy is acceptable for many office jobs; specialised roles ask for more.

Check the exact requirement in the job post. Some employers accept a screenshot or certificate from an online test, others run their own supervised test.

5 Minute Typing Test FAQ

Is the certificate accepted by employers?
It is a practice certificate with a unique ID that anyone can verify online. It is not an official government qualification, and acceptance depends on the employer.
How is accuracy measured?
Accuracy is the share of keystrokes that were correct. Mistakes you fix still count as mistakes.
Can I use backspace?
Yes in normal mode. Use Strict mode if you want to practise without backspace.
