This site is different to other typing test websites because it generates random content to type from a comprehensive database of over 10,000 commonly-used English nouns, verbs, phrases, and other parts of business English writing. Further parts of the test content such as dates, numbers, and proper names are generated entirely at random. All these parts are organized into similar categories so we can be sure that every typing test generated is of a similar complexity. Test security is greatly improved as every typing test generated will never have the same typing test content as another. Technical requirements Use a QWERTY keyboard on a desktop PC. You can take a test using a tablet device with a comfortable and adequately-sized wireless/bluetooth keyboard.Use the latest version of any of following browsers: Google Chrome, Safari, Firefox, Microsoft Edge, or Internet Explorer

Speed and accuracy can only come from training your fingers to know the exact location of every key on the keyboard. FDSA JKL; are called the home keys. Your fingers rest on the home keys. From the home keys, you can reach all the other keys on the keyboard. Use your left hand for FDSA and your right hand for JKL;. The keyboard diagram shows which home key finger is used for each key. When any finger is not actually pressing a key, you should keep it resting lightly on its home key.
