Why 1 Minute is the Standard
The 1-minute typing test gives a more accurate picture of your sustained typing speed than shorter tests. Short bursts can be misleading - a 60-second test averages out your natural pace including pauses and corrections.
Most typing speed certifications and job requirements use the 1-minute WPM test as the standard benchmark. A score of 40+ WPM qualifies for most office jobs, while 60+ WPM is expected for data entry roles.
