Punctuation Typing Test
Real writing is full of capitals and punctuation, but most speed tests use plain lowercase words. This two-minute test adds them so your score reflects real typing.

Why punctuation lowers your WPM
Shift combinations and symbol keys force your fingers away from the home row. Many typists lose 10-20% speed when punctuation appears. Training it separately closes the gap.
Tips
- Use the Shift key on the opposite side of the letter you are capitalising.
- Keep your pinkies relaxed; tension slows the quotes and brackets.
- Practise the lesson "Shift & punctuation" (Lessons stage 4) for guided drills.
- Do not skip commas - accuracy counts them as errors.
