I find this website better http://10fastfingers.com/typing-test/english

On my computer it is quite slubish and sleow, and doesn't reconize all my key strokes. But the one i have linked is recording perfectly and has more words.

Anyways thanks for the share.

The first one wasn't working for me as i don't have chrome installed :P

But i used the one Phage linked...and holy shit i surprised myself. I remember my freshman year, the girl i had a crush on sat next to me in our typing class and whooped my ass every time we took a test. I'd have maybe 20 wpm, she'd have 25. I got better, had 28, she had 31. By the end of the semester I was at 33 wpm and she was at 38. Haha i loved her for that, beating me in something computer related :P

Anyways, got 66 wmp with 6 mistakes on my first try. and 80 wpm with 3 mistakes on my second.

blew my own mind, i thought i was in the 40 wpm range or so....wow! awesome links guys, thanks for making me feel pro :D

edit* took another look at the post and is this really the high score?? that...blows my mind. i've always thought of myself as a shitty typer....
then again, i find myself spelling words by seeing my fingers type them out in my head. like for apple; in my head ill see my fingers type out apple. just something i do when i'm bored...haven't done it recently lol. but in the past...

as you can see its pretty easy to manipulate score ^^

i do not think someone actually got 215wpm...
im usually at 30wpm thats a bit slow for a guy who has used computers for 15 years
but honestly i don't need to type fast

Therefore a crucial step to becoming a better programmer is learning how to avoid getting stuck, to recognize when you’re stuck, and to get unstuck." -Jeff Wofford
