What this test measures

It uses short real-world snippets, so you train the symbol keys programmers use all day: { } [ ] ( ) < > ; : " ' = and +. Your WPM here will be lower than for plain text, which is expected.

Tips for faster coding

  • Learn the symbol keys by touch, especially brackets and quotes.
  • Use your index fingers for = + - and your pinkies for ; ' [ ].
  • Watch accuracy: one wrong character can break a program.
  • Keep an even rhythm instead of bursts.
