Frequently Asked Questions
How is the typing speed (WPM) calculated?
WPM is calculated by taking total characters typed, dividing by 5 (standard word length), and then dividing by the total minutes taken.
What happens if a computer shuts down during a test?
The software includes a state-recovery mechanism that allows the examiner to resume the test without data loss.
Can we customize the test text?
Yes, administrators can upload custom text corpuses or rely on our built-in random generators.
