This is a neat and easy to use speed typing test.

There is even a custom option, allowing you to paste your own text you would like the test to be based upon.
You can also set the time of the test to other than the 1 minute standard (to have for example a 2 minute or a 5 minute test, or if you rather a short 30 seconds test).

Educational Benefits
This collection of online tests provides extremely accurate and reliable results, reflecting your keyboarding skills.
Some of them, like the Alpha Typing Test, are more advanced and make use of special characters and symbols, like dollar signs and ampersands. The Basic & Intermediate Typing Tests are, as their name suggests, easier and more appropriate for checking the progress of more novice typists.
Any of these tests is perfect for giving you a precise words-per-minute (WPM) rate, and some of them also provide a detailed analysis of your performance and an accuracy percentage.
The instructions are easy to navigate, and with some of them you can share your results on your social networking site of choice!
