How fast can you type in 15 seconds? This ultra-short sprint isolates raw burst speed — no warmup, no endurance factor, just your fingers at maximum velocity. Great for a quick daily check-in or warming up before a longer test.

How to Get the Most from This Test

Don't warm up inside the test. 15 seconds is your entire run. Take a few casual keystrokes or a practice sentence before you start — then go in fresh and give it everything.
Accept your first word fast. Hesitating on the opening word costs a disproportionate share of your score at this length. Don't think — just start.
Ignore errors mid-run. At 15 seconds, stopping to correct a mistake loses more time than the error penalty. Keep moving and fix accuracy in a longer test later.
Repeat immediately. Because the test is so short, your best score is rarely your first. Take 4–5 attempts in a row while your fingers are warm.
Track your ceiling, not your average. The 15-second sprint is for identifying your peak burst speed. Save your average-focused practice for 1-minute or longer tests.
