Lesson 10 of 10
Mixed practice
Every key, one paragraph, sixty seconds. The final lesson mixes letters, capitals and punctuation and measures live words per minute alongside accuracy.

Type the paragraph for 60 seconds. You need 90% accuracy and at least 120 characters to pass. Pause any time; the pause is not counted.

A good typing habit is quiet and steady. Keep your hands on the home row, eyes on the words, and let each finger reach only as far as it must. Speed is a result, not a target: accuracy first, then a little more pace each day. When a word goes wrong, fix it once and move on. The rhythm you build in a short daily session will stay with you far longer than one long, rushed attempt.

About this lesson
The final drill puts everything together in a 60-second paragraph. The clock is the limit, but accuracy is the target: the lesson passes at 90% accuracy with at least 120 characters typed.
You can pause at any time. Paused time is excluded from the clock and from the speed calculation, and the text you have typed stays exactly where it was.
The lesson passes at 90% accuracy. The clock is 60 seconds and you need at least 120 characters typed before the result can pass.
Speed is live once the clock has been running for a second: the panel shows net WPM, which removes wrong characters rather than counting raw speed. Accuracy is the number the pass rule uses.The formulas are documented on thetyping lessons page.
Practice tips
- Read one word ahead of your fingers.
- Fix a mistake once, then move on.
- Pause rather than rushing when the timer starts to pressure you.
How the numbers are calculated
Four numbers come out of a run, and they answer different questions. Speed asks how fast you typed; accuracy asks how much of it was right; keystroke accuracy also counts the mistakes you corrected. The lesson studio never mixes them up.
- Gross WPM
(characters ÷ 5) ÷ minutesEvery five characters count as one standard word, so 300 characters in one minute is 60 gross WPM. This is the raw speed of the hands, before mistakes are taken off.- Net WPM
((characters − errors) ÷ 5) ÷ minutesThe same calculation with the wrong characters removed from the count. This is the number the lesson panel shows during a timed drill, and the one used for a personal best.- Character accuracy
((characters − errors) ÷ characters) × 100The final state of the passage: a character that was wrong and then fixed with Backspace is correct again, so it does not count against character accuracy. Characters still wrong when the run ends do. A lesson passes or fails on this number.- Keystroke accuracy
(correct keystrokes ÷ all keystrokes) × 100Every character you press, including the ones you delete again, so this is the stricter measure: a run that was corrected five times can be 100% character-accurate and still below 100% keystroke accuracy. The per-key analysis uses the same raw keystrokes.
Time starts on the first keystroke. Reading the passage before you begin is free, and an empty run never divides by zero: speed is reported as0 rather thanNaN orInfinity.
Paused time is removed. While a drill is paused the clock stops, and the paused milliseconds are subtracted from the minutes in every formula. Pausing cannot inflate a WPM, and resuming does not throw away the text you had already typed.
Short drills do not show live speed. A 100-character sequence is not a speed measurement, so lessons 1–9 show elapsed time and accuracy while you type, then report net WPM once the passage is finished. Lesson 10 is the timed 60-second paragraph, so it shows live WPM.
