How WPM is calculated
A "word" is standardized as five characters including spaces. KeyRace adds up the characters of correctly typed words plus their spaces, divides by five, and divides by the minutes elapsed. Raw WPM counts every key you pressed, including mistakes.
Accuracy and consistency
Accuracy compares each typed word with the target letter by letter. Consistency shows how steady your speed was from second to second: higher means a smoother rhythm.
Getting faster
Aim for 95% accuracy or better before chasing speed. Use Practice missed words after each test, and if you look at the keyboard, spend a few minutes on Key drills every day.
