3 minute test
A 3 minute typing test shows more than a quick sprint
A slightly longer typing test can reveal steadiness, concentration, and whether accuracy starts dropping once the first burst of speed fades.
Why 3 minutes is useful
It sits between a short baseline and a longer endurance-style test, which makes it practical for regular progress checks.
Watch for consistency
A 3 minute result often says more about control than a very short sprint score.
Pair the score with a plan
The real value comes from following the result with guided practice instead of stopping at the number itself.
