What kinda job is it for? I think around 70 is ideal for most. Here's my results:

Test name = Huckleberry Finn
Gross speed = 101 WPM
Errors = 4 Words
Net speed = 97 WPM
Accuracy 96%

Not too shabby, eh?
west coast style Reviewed by west coast style on . What's a good typing speed? What kind of WPM should I aim for if I'm looking to get hired for a job doing a lot of typing? My last test Gross Speed was 42 WPM Errors 10 words Net Speed 37 WPM Accuracy 88%. I think those are pretty pathetic for the amount of time I spend on the computer. To test yourself go to http://www.typingtest.com/contents/java/typetest/default.htm I think 60 WPM would be a good goal for me. Anyone know what speed businesses usually look for? Rating: 5
