A stricter test for when you want a figure you can rely on. The duration is fixed, the timer cannot be paused, pasting is blocked and the result carries a unique reference.
Before you start
The test begins on your first keystroke and runs to the end of the fixed duration.
There is no pause. Restarting asks for confirmation and discards the attempt.
Backspace is allowed, but corrected mistakes still count against your accuracy.
Use full screen and sit as you would for the real test.

You can practise on a phone or tablet, but a physical keyboard gives a far more accurate WPM measurement. On-screen keyboards add their own delay.

Consistency describes how steady your speed stayed from second to second. A high figure means an even pace; a low figure means bursts and pauses. It is a descriptive measure of this one test, not a scientific or clinical measurement.

How this compares to an employer test
This mode mirrors the conditions most typing assessments use: a fixed clock, no pausing and no pasting. It cannot promise to match any particular employer, and it is not an invigilated or accredited examination.
Before a real test, check four things with the employer: the required duration, whether backspace is permitted, the WPM and accuracy thresholds, and the keyboard layout the test machine uses. Practising at the wrong duration is the most common avoidable mistake.
