WPM Test & Typing Speed Test For Kids

In WPM (words per minute), a kid's speed and accuracy in typing are tested. Usually, the WPM test is done for 1 minute to check the typing ability of a person. For a standard typist, between 38 and 40 words per minute is the average WPM. This translates to 190 to 200 characters per minute (CPM). Skilled typists, however, type a lot more, averaging between 65 and 75 WPM.
