From: | To: |
Definition: This calculator computes the average typing speed in words per minute (WPM) from multiple test results.
Purpose: It helps individuals assess their typing proficiency by averaging multiple typing test results.
The calculator uses the formula:
Where:
Explanation: The calculator sums all provided WPM values and divides by the number of tests to get the average.
Details: Knowing your average typing speed helps in job applications (many require minimum WPM), tracking improvement, and setting goals.
Tips: Enter all your WPM test results separated by commas (e.g., "45, 52, 48, 50"). The calculator will ignore any non-numeric values.
Q1: What is a good average typing speed?
A: 40 WPM is average, 65+ WPM is considered excellent, and 100+ WPM is professional typist level.
Q2: How many tests should I include?
A: For accuracy, include at least 5-10 tests taken at different times.
Q3: Should I include very low or high outliers?
A: Yes, they're part of your performance, unless they resulted from obvious distractions.
Q4: How can I improve my average?
A: Practice regularly, use proper finger placement, and consider typing tutor software.
Q5: Does this account for accuracy?
A: No, this calculates raw speed. Many tests adjust WPM for errors.
