What is a good Arabic typing speed? +
For most people 25 to 35 words per minute in Arabic is a solid everyday speed, 40+ is fast, and office or exam jobs often ask for 25 to 40 WPM. Accuracy above 95% matters more than raw speed.
Do I need a Arabic keyboard to take this test? +
No. Choose a built-in Arabic keyboard in the test and every key types the right Arabic character, even on an English keyboard.
How is Arabic typing speed measured? +
Every five correctly typed characters (key presses, including spaces) count as one word. Uncorrected mistakes are not counted, and accuracy shows how many key presses were right the first time.
How can I type faster in Arabic? +
Learn to touch type with the Arabic lessons, practise 10 minutes a day, and keep your eyes on the screen. Your dashboard shows the keys you miss most so you can drill them.
