But for the most part, you can basically just go on here and select whether you want to take a one-minute test, three-minute test, five-minute test. They will let you go ahead and begin typing. So you will have this little passage here that, as soon as you start typing, the timer will click down. I'm just doing a little demonstration, just to show you guys how this works. My typing speed is not the best, but I get by. I only was able to type 37 words per minute. Yes, I highly recommend you guys using this site to practice your typing speed.
