How fast should I type for office work?
Aim for 50–65 WPM at 95%+ accuracy for US office and data-entry roles; Indian government-style screenings typically ask 35–45 net WPM on 5-minute tests. Take the free 60-second test here, then certify endurance on the 5-minute page.

How the typing test works
Pick a duration — 15, 30, 60, or 120 seconds — or a fixed word count, and start typing the words on screen. The timer begins on your first keystroke, so there is no need to rush the setup.
When the test ends you get four numbers that matter: WPM (correct characters only), raw WPM (every keystroke, mistakes included), accuracy, and consistency. The gap between WPM and raw WPM tells you whether you are typing fast with errors or slow and clean.
- Time mode: 15s, 30s, 60s, or 120s sprints against the clock
- Words mode: 10, 25, 50, or 100 words at your own pace
- Quote mode: type real passages from books and articles
- Zen mode: endless typing with live stats and no pressure
More than a one-off score
Every finished test feeds your personal statistics: per-key error heatmaps, weakest keys, WPM history charts, and personal bests per mode. Sign in to sync it across devices, or keep practicing as a guest — the test itself never requires an account.
When you are ready for more than solo runs, the same engine powers multiplayer party races, ranked 1v1 duels, a daily global challenge, and single-elimination tournaments.
Good typing speed bands (at a glance)
Around 40 WPM is average, 60–80 WPM is solid professional speed, and 100+ WPM is competitive at 97%+ accuracy. Full role-by-role benchmarks with gross-vs-net WPM live on the WPM test page so this page never forks the numbers.
Free for India and USA job prep alike: Indian government-style screenings typically ask 35–45 net WPM on 5-minute tests, while US office and data-entry roles commonly expect 50–65 WPM at 95%+ accuracy. Practice free here, certify on the 5-minute page.

Frequently asked questions
Is this typing test really free?
Yes. Every test mode on RaccoonType is free with no limits, no ads interrupting your runs, and no account required. Signing in is optional and only adds cross-device sync, leaderboards, and AI coaching.
How long should a typing test be?
Use 15–30 seconds for quick checks and warm-ups, 60 seconds for the standard benchmark most typists compare, and 120 seconds or 100 words when you want to measure endurance and consistency instead of burst speed.
What is a good typing speed?
It depends on the task — office work, transcription, and competitive play each have different ranges. See the full breakdown with benchmarks by role on the WPM test page.
Do I need to create an account?
No. You can take unlimited typing tests as a guest. An account saves your history, personal bests, and statistics, and unlocks ranked play, clans, and the AI Typing Coach.
