The one-minute test is the classic typing benchmark, and it works best when the duration is fixed rather than adjustable.
This version locks the clock to sixty seconds so every run is comparable, giving you a clean one-minute reading of WPM and accuracy.

Frequently asked questions
Why lock the time to one minute?
A fixed minute makes every attempt directly comparable, which is the whole point of the classic one-minute benchmark.
Can I change the duration?
Not on this page; it is locked to one minute by design. Use the five or ten minute tests for longer runs.
Is one minute enough?
Yes. A minute is long enough for a stable reading while staying quick to repeat.
