2-Minute Typing Speed Test
A 2-minute typing test strikes a balance between the quick 1-minute snapshot and longer endurance tests. It gives you enough time to settle into a rhythm and reveals whether you can maintain your peak speed past the first few seconds. HR departments and data-entry employers often use 2-minute tests to screen applicants.

For a 2-minute test, 45 WPM is a reasonable office standard. Data-entry roles typically require 55–65 WPM, while proficient typists sustain 70–90 WPM across two minutes.
