Frequently asked questions
Which of the tool's speeds should I compare with 35?
The tool shows your speed after mistakes, a raw speed and the key depressions an hour. Aim a little above 35 on the speed after mistakes, so that small slips do not drop you below it.
Is the typing test qualifying or ranked?
Read the notice for your exam, since the rules for skill tests differ between posts and can change from year to year.
