Understand the "Tests" Tab (Student)

Tracking your progress and celebrating your achievements is an essential part of your typing journey. With the Tests tab on Typing.com, you have the opportunity to take typing tests and print certificates showcasing your accuracy and speed. In this guide, we'll walk you through the steps to navigate the Tests tab, take typing tests, and print your certificates, ensuring you have everything you need to showcase your typing skills. Let's get started!

Step 1: Log in to your account here.

Step 2: Click Tests on the top menu. The page that opens is headed Typing Tests.

Here, you'll find two types of tests available:

• Timed Tests - you type for a set length of time. There are three: a 1:00 Test, a 3:00 Test and a 5:00 Test.

• Page Tests - you type a set amount of text instead, however long that takes you. There are three: a 1 Page Test, a 2 Page Test and a 3 Page Test.

Step 3: Every test has its own Start Test button. Click the one on the row you want, and type until the test ends. Your speed and accuracy are worked out for you at the end.

To print your certificate, locate the typing test you've completed and click Print Certificate. A new tab will open with your certificate, allowing you to download or print it for your records.

Additional Tips:

• You can also sort the tests by date, speed, or accuracy to help locate the test you prefer to print.

• If you cannot see your name when you go to print your certificate, check that your First Name and Last Name are filled in on your account page. If the fields are not yours to edit, ask your instructor to allow it from Class Settings in their Teacher Portal.

• If you're using Google SSO (single sign-on), note that you cannot change your name within Typing.com account settings. You'll need to update your information in your Google Account settings. Click here for a Google article with steps to change your Google account name.
