2 Minute Typing Test

Two minutes is long enough for one full paragraph and short enough to stay fully focused. It gives a more stable speed reading than one minute while still fitting into a quick break.

Every morning my grandfather walks to the small park at the end of our lane. He leaves the house before the milk van arrives and comes back when the sun is warm on the walls. He says that the first hour of the day belongs to the person who wakes up for it. In the park he meets the same group of friends. One of them was a postman for thirty years and still knows the name of every family in the colony. Another taught science in the government school and likes to point at birds and tell us where they come from. They walk four rounds together, slowly, and then sit on the bench near the neem tree. They talk about cricket, the price of vegetables and the new bus route. Sometimes they argue, but they always laugh before they leave. When I go with him on holidays, I notice how much he sees on the way. He greets the flower seller, checks whether the tap near the gate has been fixed and picks up a plastic bottle that someone has dropped. I used to think a walk was only exercise. Now I think it is also a way of paying attention to the place where you live.

Why practise 2-minute tests

Small mistakes even out over two minutes, so your net speed here is a fair picture of your normal typing. Use it to work on accuracy: try to finish with no more than two or three wrong words.

What speed to aim for

If you can hold 40 WPM with 95% accuracy for two minutes, you are close to the standard for most English clerical typing tests.
