The short answer
Two minutes gives a steadier result than one, because a good start cannot carry the whole test. Type the passage as it is shown and read your words per minute, accuracy and errors at the end. It is a good length for practising before a typing round.

Frequently asked questions
Why is my speed lower over two minutes?
Most people slow down as they tire. If your speed drops a lot, practise at a steady, comfortable pace rather than racing at the start.
How often should I practise?
Ten to fifteen minutes a day works better than a long session once a week. Short, regular practice builds the habit.
