ℹ Testing by Word Count

This test measures how long it takes you to type a fixed 50-word passage from start to finish — a clear finish line rather than a clock running out.

At 35 WPM, 50 words takes about 1 minute. See the full exam requirements table for the WPM targets used by real government exams.

How long should 50 words take?

At 35 WPM, 50 words takes about 1 minute. Use your completion time to estimate your real exam-length WPM.

Is a word-count test different from a timed test?

Yes. A word-count test stops once you've typed all 50 words, measuring completion time and accuracy rather than how far you got in a set duration.
